Naples, Fl. – Geneva Softball (1-1) fell 11-3 in the season opener against Dominican University (IL) but recovered against Swarthmore College (PA) rallying for a 4-1 win.
“I really liked the way we came back in the second game after losing to a very good team,” said 15th year Head Coach Van Zanic. “I still think we could have a very good offensive team. If we pitch and play solid defense we could have a good year.
“Laura Innocenzi had a great day at second base. She led the way in a solid defense effort.”
Laura Innocenzi (Cortland, OH/Lakeview) tallied six putouts, six assists in the field in the doubleheader committing no errors.
“It was nice to see Casey put one over the fence,” said Zanic. “Hopefully, that happens a lot this year.”
In game one against Dominican, Casey Farkasovsky (Beaver, PA/Beaver) drilled a two-run homer
Grow’s bat got hot in game two against Swarthmore, going 2-3 at bat, getting on base 5-6 on the day. Grow’s RBI single in the fourth batted in April Lude (Canfield, OH/Western Reserve) tying the game 1-1. The Golden Tornadoes earned the win in the fifth, adding insurance in the sixth. Haley Sainato (New Castle, PA/Mohawk) singled and advanced to third on two different errors. She came home off a wild pitch recording an unearned run. Grow started Geneva in the sixth with a double.
Geneva is set to return to the field tomorrow, Tuesday, March 7 starting at 9 a.m. against Alverno College followed by an 11 a.m. game against Rockford at the CenturyLink Sports Complex in Fort Myers, Florida.
