Knights Split 2023 Season-Opening Doubleheader in Maryland

Salisbury, MD – Away from the late-winter snow storm, the Clarkson University Softball team opened up its season with a split on its opening day for 2023, dropping a 9-0 decision to third-ranked Salisbury before downing McDaniel 5-2 at Sea Gull Softball Stadium.

The Golden Knights will face both teams again on Sunday, playing McDaniel at 11:00 am and then taking on the Gulls at 1:00 pm.

In game one, Clarkson was the first team to have a scoring opportunity when Emma Sabourin singled and stole second in the top of the first, but the Knights were unable to cash in. Clarkson starting pitcher Riley Page held the Gulls hitless for their first two at bats, but Salisbury took advantage of three hits and two errors to plate four in the bottom of the third. The first run came in on a wild pitch, and then Jillian Dawson followed with a single to left to score the inning's second run. Lindsey Windsor followed with a single to plate another run, and then a fourth came across on a sacrifice bunt.

In the fourth, Madi Lednum's two-out double sparked a late rally as Madi Lemon's singled through the right side to push across the fifth run of the game. An inning later, Natalie Paoli doubled to right-center to put the score at 6-0, and a Lednum hit scored three to end the game.

Sabourin and Katy Aldous each recorded a hit for the Knights in the opener. Riley Page took the loss, allowing eight hits but striking out six in four innings of work. For Salisbury, Lindsey Windsor whiffed eight and gave up two hits in five innings in the circle, while also going 2-for-3 at the dish with two runs scored. Lednum went 3-for-3 with three RBI.

In game two, McDaniel scored an unearned run in the top of the first, but the Green Terror did not hold the lead for long. Bridget Twaits singled, Zoey Kovach walked, and Devin Fitzpatrick walked to load the bases in the bottom of the first. With two outs, Katy Aldous forced home a run when she was hit by a pitch to tie the game at 1-1, and a dropped third strike allowed Kaya Johnson to score, putting the tally at 2-1.

Clarkson picked up three more runs in the third. Bridget Kerwin doubled in a run, Molly Pezzano singled home another, and then a double steal coordinated by the pair allowed Kerwin to score Clarkson's fifth run of the contest. Though McDaniel picked up a run in the bottom of the inning, the Knights had enough to hold on for the win.

Kerwin went 2-for-3 with a run scored and another driven in, while Zoey Kovach reached twice via walks. Bridget Twaits also scored a run as she reached on a hit and a walk. Devin Fitzpatrick, who also singled and walked as a hitter, claimed the win for the Knights striking out eight and walking none over seven innings, giving up just one earned run.
