BROCKPORT, N.Y. — The Oswego State Softball team traveled to Brockport on Saturday eager for a doubleheader against the Golden Eagles. It was a tough go around for the Lakers this time as they split the double header (1-1) as well as the overall series this season (2-2). Brockport would take the first game in dominant fashion with a 8-1 victory and Oswego would edge the Golden Eagles in a last inning thriller with a final of 7-6.
The first game was all Brockport with 4 runs in the 3rd inning alone and up 5-0 by the third inning. It was pretty straight forward for the Golden Eagles, generating 8 hits and putting in 8 runs in the first matchup with 2nd baseman Cameryn Duggan leading the way with 3 runs of her own. Oswego’s Taylor Dubois was the only Laker to generate a run as she hit a homerun and now has 3 on her career as a Laker. As for the second game, the Lakers jumped ahead early being up 4-0 in the second inning. The Lakers were led by Fiona Higgins and Tai Smith who each had three hits a piece in the second game. Things got extra interesting at the end of the second game as Brockport has the bases loaded with zero outs when trailing 7-5. However, Oswego was able to keep the Golden Eagles partially at bay with a force out at home, a throwout on an RBI-single as well as a fly out to end the game.
The Lakers now move to 7-11 on the season as well as 5-9 in the division, Brockport now remains at .500 winning percentage in both the SUNYAC West as well as overall as they remain at 6-6. The Lakers look to test their strength in their next matchup against the red hot Cortland Red Dragons who are coming in on a six game winning streak and have beaten the Lakers in the last four matchups. First pitch is scheduled for Monday, May 3rd at 3:00 p.m and WTOP 10 will be covering the game as well.
