Bats Come Alive, But Softball Drops Two

MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. -- The Cornell softball dropped its final two games of the 2019 Madeira Beach Invitational, falling to Detroit Mercy 5-0 and losing to Manhattan by a score of 11-9 on Sunday morning. The losses dropped Cornell to 0-5 on the season.

Game One
Ashley Mauser hurled a complete game shutout, striking out 10 and scattering five hits along the way, and Detroit Mercy was able to break out late to capture a 5-0 win over the Big Red on Sunday morning. 

Mauser stranded six baserunners along the way in handing the Big Red its third consecutive shutout loss. She held Cornell at bay until the fourth, when the Titans scored runs on a fielder's choice and a sacrifice fly to go up 2-0. Detroit Mercy added an insurance run in the fifth and two more in the sixth.

Lisa Nelson took the hard-luck loss, allowing two earned runs and five hits over five innings of work with four strikeouts. Emily McKinney was 2-for-3 with a double to lead the offense. Miranda Lawson doubled for her first collegiate hit and Allison Kerce reached base twice with a single and a walk.

Jordan Manno and Alyssa Lang each had two hits and drove in a run to pace the Titans. 

Game Two
Cornell's bats broke out for the first time in 2019, but Manhattan used an eight-run fifth inning to rally from a four-run deficit and collect an 11-9 victory over the Big Red. The Big Red had a season-high 12 hits, including six doubles - the fourth-most in a game in school history.

Emily McKinney, Hanna Crist and Olivia Rooney each had a pair of hits, with Crist registering a pair of doubles and two RBI. Rooney also drove in two and doubles, while McKinney had a double and scored twice. Allison Kerce also slammed her first career home run, a solo shot in the first inning to get the Big Red on the board.

Cornell led 7-3 heading into the bottom of the fifth before the Jaspers rallied in a big way thanks to three walks and five hits to scratch together the go-ahead runs. The Big Red made a run at it in the seventh, scoring twice and leaving the tying run at the plate.

The Big Red will take a week off, then head to the George Washington Colonial Classic for four games beginning on Saturday, March 9.
