CITY, N.Y. - The Caldwell College softball team saw its five-game winning
streak come to an end as Adelphi University swept the Cougars, 9-0 and 6-3
in a non-conference doubleheader Sunday afternoon at Ficke Field. The
results give both teams overall records of 16-10 on the season.
Adelphi hit a grand slam in each of the third and fourth innings to take
control of the first game. Jessica Vogt hit her sixth homer of the season
with two out in the third inning. Then in the fourth, Samantha Johnston
cleared the bases again with two out for her second home run of the year.
The Panthers added another run in the fourth off Caldwell starter Jessica
Saunders (Glen Burnie, MD/Archbishop Spaulding), who fell to 7-4 on the
season. Julie Schaper (4-2) allowed two hits while striking out eight in
five innings for the win.
The Cougars got on the scoreboard first when senior Katie Jackson
(Pennsville, NJ/Pennsville) led off the top of the third inning with her
fifth home run of the season. Schaper tied the game in the bottom of the
third with a sacrifice fly. Two unearned runs in the bottom of the fourth
put the Panthers ahead 3-1. But Caldwell answered with two runs in the top
of the fifth on a single by senior Gina D'Amico (Turnersville,
NJ/Washington Twp.) that scored seniors Kristi Godfrey (West Babylon,
NY/West Babylon) and Amy Coker (Pennsville, NJ/Pennsville). Adelphi
wrapped up the sweep with a run in the bottom of the fifth and two more in
the sixth. Sophomore Kristen de la Campa (Whitman, MA/Whitman Hanson)
took the loss to drop to 3-2, while reliever Samantha Tilton (5-2) pitched
two perfect innings for the win.
The Cougars will play a doubleheader at Bloomfield College on Monday, Apr.
