LOUDONVILLE, NY – Siena Softball moved into a tie for the second-most home wins in a single season and concluded its longest completed home stand in 15 years on Tuesday afternoon at Siena Softball Field. The Saints (28-12) posted their eighth shutout of the season with a 6-0 win over Colgate (16-24) before dropping a 9-1 decision to the Raiders in run-rule fashion.

Siena 6, Colgate 0

Concluding a stretch of ten games over seven days, the Green and Gold got on the board immediately, with junior Isabella Pardo scoring on an attempted double steal at second and home. Siena used a three-run frame in the second inning to extend the lead to four, with redshirt-junior Diana Parker scoring sophomore Ashley Giampolo on an RBI single and graduate student Ava Fitzmaurice singling up the middle to plate Pardo and Parker.

Following the lead of what became the fifth consecutive win and the third in four days from redshirt-freshman pitcher Alissa Eimont, Siena tacked two more runs on in the fourth, with Parker crossing again on an RBI single from graduate student Sabrina Vargas who would then score on an RBI ground out from Fitzmaurice.

Siena held a 9-3 hits advantage over the Raiders, with Vargas and Giampolo recording multi-hit games and Fitzmaurice moving into a tie for the seventh-most RBI's in single season history with three more to brig her total to 39 this season. Eimont improved to 8-3 in the circle this season with three strikeouts in five innings, while senior Allison Speshyock struck out a pair in two shutout innings and Colgate's Alexa Acker (5-10) struck out one batter in the three and one-third inning loss.

The Raiders fired back with an offensive outbreak to end the day, beginning with six runs in the first two innings. The Patriot League foe scored on an error, an RBI single, and a wild pitch in the first inning, and placed runners on to extend the lead with a three-run home run in the second frame.

Siena stranded four runners on-base as the Colgate lead extended with an RBI single in the fourth and a two RBI RBI double in the sixth. Siena got on the board via an RBI single from senior Emma McLaughlin that sent home Fitzmaurice in the sixth, but could not score further to save the game from ending after six innings.

Colgate held a 7-6 hits advantage with Senior Jocelyn Ulrich recording a multi-hit day for the Saints and Parker (4-2) taking the loss in the circle with two strikeouts in one and two-thirds innings. Colgate's Bailey Misken (8-10) struck out one in the complete game victory.

Siena will now enter the final stretch of the 2023 regular season with a five-game road trip and nine of its final 13 regular season contests away from home, beginning with a single contest at Holy Cross on Thursday, April 20 at 4:30 PM.
