SBALL: DOLPHINS OPEN '09 CAMPAIGN WITH TWO WINS AT REBEL
GAMES
KISSIMMEE, FL - The Le Moyne Dolphins softball team opened their
2009 season with a pair of victories at the Rebel Games in
Kissimee, Florida. The Dolphins defeated Wilmington (DE) 10-2 in
six innings and topped Holy Family 8-0 in five innings. The two
victories marked the first wins at Le Moyne by first-year head
coach Tina Plew-Whitlock.
In game one, the Dolphins were led by a balanced offensive attack
that saw each starter record at least one hit. The Dolphins were
paced by junior Bailey Phillips (Rochester, NY /
Greece-Arcadia) who connected for three hits in four plate
appearances. Danielle VanGorder (Vestal, NY / Vestal),
Caitlin O'Neill (Pittsford, NY / Our Lady of Mercy), Kelly
Schweikert (Rochester, NY / Spencerport) and Leah
Ford (Pulaski, NY / Pulaski) each collected two hits each
to help defeat Wilmington via the mercy rule. Sophomore Jenna
Vanacore (Hicksville, NY / Holy Trinity) struck
out 10 batters in recording the win in the circle.
Senior Jennifer Farrelly (Latham, NY / Shaker) led
the Dolpins in game two as the Dolphins defeated Holy Family via
the mercy rule 8-0. At the plate, Farrelly was 2-3 with a
home run and four RBI's. In the circle, she allowed only two hits
through five innings to earn the win. Schweikert and Phillips
each added two hits to pace the eight-hit attack for the
‘Phins.
The Dolphins return to action on Sunday as they face Concordia-St.
Paul at 3:00 PM and Wheeling Jesuit at 5:00 PM.
