Softball Claims Crosstown Sweep Of Ithaca Behind Pitching, Crist Walk-Off Homer

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell pitching held Ithaca down and Hanna Crist delivered the finishing blow as the Big Red topped the Bombers 3-0 and 3-2 on Wednesday afternoon at Niemand*Robison Field. The Big Red improved to 11-15 with the win, while the Bombers slipped to 15-10.

Mia Burd picked up a complete game shutout in game one and Gabrielle Maday went the distance in the night cap while scattering just five hits, and a walk-off homer by Crist, her second bomb of the game, allowed the home team to claim its fifth consecutive non-conference win.

Game One
Burd hurled the complete game shutout, surrendering five hits and striking out six to pick up her team-best sixth win of the year in the circle. 

The Big Red scratched across single runs in the first, second and fifth innings. That proved to be enough.

Lilly Travieso doubled in a run in the first and Rooney's run-scoring double in the fifth added some insurance, with those plays sandwiched around a sacrifice fly by Marisa Zorrilla that an alert Bomber defense turned into a double play. 

Maicie Levitt was 2-for-3 at the plate and Hanna Crist was 1-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored to lead the Big Red.

Burd was in control the entire way, with the Bombers seriously threatening in the sixth, loading the bases, and in the seventh when they put two runners on. Game Two
Maday held the Bombers down for six innings, and when they finally got the bats going, Crist made sure they wouldn't get another crack at it.

Crist homered on a pair of 0-2 pitches, once in the fifth and then again in the seventh for the win, to crush Ithaca after the Bombers got two runs in the top-half of the seventh to knot the score. The visitors appeared to take the lead, but an apparent sacrifice fly that would have made it 3-2 Ithaca was wasted when the IC runner was called out for leaving early. That set up Crist's heroics.

Maday went all 7.0 innings, scattering six hits and striking out six to grad the win in the circle, while Crist ended the contest 3-for-4 with two home runs. Allison Kerce also had a pair of hits and Olivia Rooney doubled and walked, driving in a run.
