I've got everything from both games. Here's the web story:
April 24, 2026 | Cobleskill, N.Y.
The SUNY Cobleskill softball team made it a perfect Friday afternoon at Fighting Tiger Field, sweeping a Skyline Conference doubleheader from the University of Maine at Presque Isle by scores of 3-0 and 7-2 to improve to 14-16 overall and 6-4 in conference play.
Game 1: Orosz Spins a Shutout
In the opener, freshman Madelynn Orosz delivered arguably the finest performance of her young career, tossing a complete-game shutout. Orosz scattered just four hits over seven innings, walked none, and struck out one while needing only 59 pitches — 47 of which were strikes — to put away the Owls. The right-hander held Maine-Presque Isle scoreless from the first inning to the last, stranding four base runners.
The offense did its part in a crisp 1:05 game played under what the scorebook described simply as "sunshine everywhere." Samantha Bargren got things going in the third inning, opening with a double and eventually coming around to score. Sammy Fausti plated Bargren with a two-out RBI double to give Cobleskill a 1-0 lead. Kylie Rattigan and Avery Prievo extended the advantage in the fifth — Rattigan's two-bagger drove home Bargren again, and Prievo singled home Rattigan to make it 3-0. Rattigan finished 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI, while Prievo went 2-for-3 with an RBI and Fausti added a double and an RBI.
Game 2: Late Burst Seals the Sweep
The nightcap was a tighter contest, but the Fighting Tigers broke it open with a six-run fifth inning to pull away for a 7-2 victory in 1:35. Cobleskill starter Sam Lawton held the Owls at bay through three innings before giving way to Gabriella Wendelken, who picked up the win — her sixth on the season — by working four innings of two-run ball.
The big frame in the fifth was a microcosm of opportunistic hitting and timely small ball. After Avery Prievo and Samantha Bargren singled to start the inning and Brielle Dixon drew a walk to load the bases, Mackenzie Carver reached on a fielding error that brought home Prievo. Aliyah Neeser followed with a single that drove in two more, Laci Prignon laced a run-scoring double, and Kylie Rattigan — who went 1-for-3 with two RBI on the night — capped the outburst with a two-run double to push the lead to 7-2. Rattigan finished the doubleheader with four RBI across the two games.
Bargren and Wendelken each contributed hits in the second game as Cobleskill totaled eight hits. Maine-Presque Isle's Madison Boynton was charged with the loss, absorbing all seven runs on eight hits.
