The Keuka College Softball team was swept in an Empire 8 Conference doubleheader at SUNY Geneseo on Friday.
Keuka College (1-11, 0-2 Empire 8) dropped the opener 9-1 in six innings in the first game and 10-1 in five innings in the second.
SUNY Geneseo 9 vs. Keuka College 1 (6 inn.) – Game 1
Keuka College looked to strike early at SUNY Geneseo. Olivia Flynn (Williamson, N.Y. / Williamson) led off the game with a shot into the left centerfield gap, but the Geneseo centerfielder made a diving catch. Keuka would have their turn with the defense in the bottom of the inning as Abbie DeRock (Hunt, N.Y. / Letchworth) started a 1-6-3 double play to end the first.
The game remained scoreless until the top of the fourth. Flynn led off the inning with another shot into the gap. This one fell into the right centerfield gap for a leadoff double. She moved to third on a bunt and scored on a single by Hailey Jasinski (Buffalo, N.Y. / North Collins) to make it 1-0.
However, the Knights would hold the Wolves at one. SUNY Geneseo would score seven in the fifth and add two more in the sixth to defeat the Wolves 9-1 in six innings.
