Colby Softball team earns another split in Florida

Holly
CLERMONT, Fla. — First-year pitcher Holly Lallis earned her first collegiate victory and Colby College scored five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to take a 5-3 win over St. Lawrence University in non-conference softball Wednesday.

Colby (3-5 overall) fell 6-1 to Scranton University in the other game Wednesday. The Mules have the day off before finishing the Florida trip with a 1 p.m. game Friday against Eastern Connecticut State and a 3 p.m. start with Lawrence University.
 
Lallis pitched the final three innings for the Mules, allowing no earned runs and just one hit. Julia Saul went the first four innings and had five strikeouts.
 
Tori Sansone started the sixth inning with an infield single, Skylar Labbe followed with a walk, and Emily Schatz loaded the bases with a single. After a pitching change, Paige Hartnett walked to bring in Sansone. Wiley Holton’s single brought in Labbe to make it 3-2. St. Lawrence went back to its starting pitcher and Emma Berger greeted her with a sacrifice fly to center field that tied the game when Schatz scored. Grace Farnkoff had a sacrifice fly to left field to plate the go-ahead run. Holton scored an insurance run when McLaughlin reached by error.
 
Schatz went 2-for-3 with a run scored, while Holton singled, scored, and had one RBI. Hartnett scored a run and had an RBI, Berger had her RBI single, and Hartnett scored and drove in one run.
In the Scranton game, the Mules scored a lone run in the opening inning. However, Colby managed just four hits against winning pitcher Morgan Rentzheimer.
 
McLaughlin, Labbe, Schatz, and Hartnett had the hits for Colby. McLaughlin had a lead-off single and later scored on a two-out single by Labbe.
