BARUCH VS HUNTER BOX SCORE

The softball team is off to a great start at the 2012 CUNYAC/Applebee’s Softball Championship that began today at the College of Staten Island softball complex in Staten Island, New York.

The Bearcats opened play by defeating their rival Hunter College, 2-1, in game two of the tournament. They will return to action this evening at 6:00 pm to play Brooklyn College in the winner’s bracket game. Brooklyn upset top seed Staten Island in an exciting first game, 5-4.

Against Hunter, the Bearcats struck first with a run in their first at-bat. Olivia Auman hit an RBI ground out to score Carmen Pagan-Colon from third base.

They scored another run in the third inning as Auman smacked an RBI single to left center to score Melanie Pellegrino for the 2-0 lead.

Hunter scored a run in their bottom half of the third inning to cut the score to 2-1, but that was it the rest of the game as Nicole Flint dominated on the mound with a superb complete game of seven innings pitched, two hits, one earned run and four strikeouts.

Stay tuned for more information this evening regarding the 6:00 pm contest against Brooklyn.
