Troy, N.Y.: For the first time in exactly one month due to the strange weather conditions that have affected the region; the SUNY Cobleskill women's softball team was able to take the field dropping a pair of non-league contests to host Sage College at the Gators' Robinson Field by scores of 5-1 and 17-3. With the losses the Fighting Tigers move to 1-5 overall on the season while the Gators improve to 8-10 overall.

In the first game the Fighting Tigers trailed 2-1 going into the bottom of the fifth inning when the home team rallied for three runs to put the contest out of reach.
Sophomore second baseman Briana Becker, Euless, Texas, Trinity High School, drove in her double play partner junior shortstop Jaimee Lord, Mechanicville, N.Y., Ballston Spa High School, with a single in the fifth inning as part of a 1-for-3 effort at the plate. Lord operating out of the lead-off spot was 1-for-1 with two walks and a pair of stolen bases in the game.

Freshman pitcher Katerina Weingarten, Carlise, N.Y., Cobleskill-Richmondville High School, took the loss going the distance allowing three earned runs over six innings; striking out three hitters while allowing two walks and six hits.

In the second game the Gators scored early and often as the Cobleskill pitching and defense struggled in the early going allowing Sage to build a 10-1 lead after three innings on their way to a 17-3 decision in five innings.

Jaimee Lord continued her hot hitting in the second game for the Orange & Black going 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored with sophomore designated hitter Gabrielle Danthine, Sloansville, N.Y., Schoharie, N.Y., going 1-for-2 in the game with a double and a pair of runs batted in.

Cobleskill will next be in action on Saturday April 8^th when they host The Express of Wells College in their home and North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) opening games beginning at 2:30 p.m. at Fighting Tiger Park.
