Cortland 6, New Paltz 3

Cortland struck early with its four-run first inning before holding off a comeback by the Hawks. The Red Dragons sent 10 batters to the plate in the inning and scored on a Niki Barbato (East Meadow/Holy Trinity) RBI fielder's choice, a Mikayla Shade (Bethlehem) RBI double, an Andrea Schoonmaker (Marlboro) RBI single and a Wolstenholme squeeze bunt.

New Paltz scratched back with a Fallon Spriggs RBI single in the first, along with a run in the third when Taylor LaFrance scored from third base when a runner on first was caught stealing in a rundown. The Hawks closed to within 4-3 in the fourth when Danielle Bruno tripled with one out and scored on Alexa Mastando's squeeze bunt. New Paltz had a chance to do more damage that inning but left the bases loaded.

Cortland added an insurance run in the fifth. Kaleigh Churchill (Camillus/West Genesee) led off with a walk and Schoonmaker reached on a one-out bunt single. Churchill stole third, Wolstenholme walked to load the bases, and Skyler Hoyt's (Endicott/Union-Endicott) groundout to third drove in the run. Cortland's final run came in the sixth with a two-out Barbato walk and a Churchill RBI double.

Jamie Lachall (Philadelphia, PA/Sun Valley) allowed three runs, two earned, in five innings for the win and is now 11-5. She gave up five hits and no walks and struck out two. Sam Van Dorn (Medford/Patchogue-Medford) entered to start the sixth and allowed two hits over two scoreless innings for her fifth save of the season. Her five saves are tied for second on Cortland's single-season record chart with Katie Finch (2009); the school record is 10 by Morgan Kuhn in 2012.

Katie Rutcofsky dropped to 12-8 with the loss for New Paltz. She allowed seven hits and six walks in a complete-game effort. Nicole DeCosta finished 2-for-3 and Jordan Fiore was 2-for-4 with a double.

Cortland 3, New Paltz 0

Flint increased her season record to 13-3 with her three-hit shutout. She walked four and struck out two, and the three hits she allowed were two bunt singles and a single to short. Taylor Corwin started for New Paltz and surrendered eight hits, two walks and three runs in six-plus innings with two strikeouts.

The game was scoreless until the top of the fifth when Barbato hit a two-out single and took second on an error during the play. Churchill followed with a single to left to drive in Barbato.

Wolstenholme hit her fifth homer of the season with one out in the sixth to put Cortland ahead 2-0, and Cork nailed her sixth homer of the year, and 31st of her career, to lead off the seventh and knock Corwin from the game.

New Paltz (18-17, 9-9 SUNYAC) posted scoring threats in the second and third innings versus Flint. Rutcofsky and Bruno led off the second with walks, and a fielder's choice with no out recorded loaded the bases. After Flint got a pop-up for the first out, Kiersten Carlomagno attempted a squeeze bunt, but Flint went home for the force, and catcher Stephanie Tirone (Amherst/Williamsville South) threw to first to complete the inning-ending 1-2-3 double play. The Hawks also put runners on second and third in the third on bunt singles by LaFrance and Julia Perhacs and a Fiore sac bunt. Flint escaped that jam with a strikeout and groundout.

Churchill and Wolstenholme each finished 2-for-4 with an RBI and Schoonmaker was 2-for-4 to lead Cortland's 10-hit attack.
