Fighting Tiger Softball Splits Pair With Lesley University and Mitchell College on Wednesday

Marissa Wheeler Tosses One-Hit Shutout Win Over Lesley University at Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic


Naples, Fla.: The SUNY Cobleskill softball team continued their 2023 spring break road trip on Wednesday splitting a pair of contests at the 33rd Annual Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic in Naples, Fla as the Fighting Tigers opened the day with a 6-0 shutout win over the Lynx of Lesley University then closed the day with a 9-2 loss to the Mariners of Mitchell College. With the split the Fighting Tigers are now 2-4 overall on the season to date.

In the opener, senior right hander Marissa Wheeler, Kinderhook, N.Y., Ichabod Crane High School, dominated the Lynx hitters as the Cobleskill ace tossed a complete game one-hit shutout by striking out 13 Lesley hitters while walking only two. Wheeler also helped herself at the plate going 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in the victory.

The Fighting Tigers received strong efforts at the plate from junior first baseman Alexis Miranda, Nashua, N.H., Nashua North High School, who went 3-for-4 in the victory with a home run, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base and from junior right fielder Emily Lutz, Ellenville, N.Y., Ellenville High School, who was 2-for-2 including a double, two walks, two RBI and a run scored. Sophomore catcher Mackenzie Wendelken, Stuyvesant, N.Y, Ichabod Crane High School, was also a factor in the win going 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI.

In the second game the Cobleskill defense committed eight errors which led to six unearned Mariner runs and helped Mitchell to the victory.

Offensively the Fighting Tigers continued to receive production from first baseman Alexis Miranda who went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored and from junior left fielder Mikaela De La Cruz, Wappingers Falls, N.Y., John Jay High School, who went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored. First-year second baseman EmmaGrace Scileppi, Williamson, N.Y., Williamson Central High School, also turned in a solid effort with the bat going 1-for-3 with an RBI.

The Fighting Tigers will close out their stay at the 33rd Annual Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic on Thursday when they meet the Eagles of Saint Elizabeth University at 9:00 a.m. before closing out the event versus the Scarlet Raiders of Rutgers University-Newark at 11:30 a.m. in games to be played at North Collier Regional Park in Naples, Fla.
