GAME 1
GAME 2

Staten Island, NY- The Wagner College softball team split a pair of games this afternoon against the Saint Peter's College Peahens. In game one, the Seahawks fell by a 2-1 count before garnering an 11-3 six-inning victory in the nightcap. 

In the second game of the twinbill, the Seahawks' decisive eight-run second inning gave the Green & White a lead that the Peahens would never recover from. 

Freshman Vanessa Lenart (Fontana, CA / Henry J. Kaiser HS) got the Seahawks on the board in the bottom of the second with a sacrifice fly to left field, driving in junior Kate Eshelman (Reno, NV / McQueen), who reached on a base on balls. Sophomore Hailey Corthell's (Reno, NV / Reno) two-run RBI single plated senior Jaclyn Vanore (Palisades Park, NJ / Paramus Catholic) and junior Amanda deLancellotti (San Clemente, CA / Florida C.C. at Jacksonville), extending the Seahawk lead to 3-0. 

Freshman Laura Hennig (Dyer. IN / Munster HS) added another run off a single through the right side, scoring Corthell. Senior Andrea Lazzari (Reno, NV / Wooster) made it 5-0 with an RBI single through the left side, before sophomore Amanda Garcia's (Fresno, CA / California State University, Fresno) single to right center plated Hennig. Eshelman propelled the Green & White out to 7-0 lead with an RBI double to left field, scoring Garcia. deLancellotti capped off the inning with an RBI single to left field, driving in Eshleman and bringing the Seahawks' lead to 8-0. 

In the top of the third inning, Saint Peter's broke the shut out, scoring on a ground out to second base. The Peahens notched pair of unearned runs on two Wagner miscues in the fifth inning, bringing the score to 8-3. The Seahawks responded in the bottom of the frame. With two outs and runners on second and third, sophomore Emily Pierce (Phoenix, AZ / Desert Vista) stepped up to the plate and knocked a two-run single to right field, scoring Vanore and sophomore Jamie El-Aazami (Houston, TX / Cypress Falls), who pinch ran for deLancellotti. 

Lazzari led off the bottom of the sixth inning with a double to centerfield. Garcia then laced a game-winning RBI single to center field, capturing the win by the eight run mercy rule. 

Garcia earned the win through 6.0 innings of work improving her record to 2-1. The RHP struck out four while allowing just one earned run on six hits. 

Pierce, Garcia and Corthell each had two RBI each while deLancellotti made her contribution going 3-3 with an RBI and a run. 

In game one, both teams remained locked at 0-0, until Corthell blasted a home run over the right field fence, giving the Seahawks the 1-0 advantage. Unfortunately for the Green & White the Peahens would battle back in the fourth and seventh innings, capturing the 2-1 victory. 

Saint Peter's came out strong in the first inning, loading the bases on three hits and a Wagner miscue. This stand would not be enough as the Seahawks strong offense stance retired the Peahens with three stranded on base. 

In the bottom of the third inning, Corthell led off with her home run, putting the Seahawks on the board, 1-0. The Peahens answered right back in the top of the fourth frame on Jackie Cross's home run over the left field fence, tying the game at 1-1. 

With two out and a runner on base in the seventh, Saint Peter's took the lead with Megan Papierniak's RBI double to left field, bringing the score to 2-1. This lead would hold through the bottom of the stanza as the Seahawks were unable to produce another run. 

Freshman Kaelynn Armenta (Whittier, CA / Paul HS) took the loss through the entire 7.0 innings of action, dropping her record to 6-12. The RHP fanned three while allowing nine hits. 

The Seahawks (14-23) return to action Saturday, April 18 when they host Quinnipiac in a Northeast Conference doubleheader. First pitch of game one is set for 1:00 pm.
