Spartans Softball Loses 2 on the Road 

Cayuga Community College Spartans Softball couldn't get the bats going Tuesday, dropping two games in divisional play to Jefferson Community College.  

Playing on the road against the Cannoneers, the Spartans lost the first game 15-1 and the second contest 15-5.  

In the first game, the Spartans threatened in the first and fourth innings with two runners on-base, but couldn't push a run across until the fifth inning. Jefferson started strong at the plate, scoring two in the first and staying on the attack in the next three innings. For the Spartans, Gabriella Bard went two-for-two with a walk, and Abigail Marinelli, Olivia Maassen and Kyra Cottrill collected hits.

Cayuga's bats came alive in the second inning of the second game, when they pushed four runs across to knot the score. The Spartans couldn't keep the offensive momentum going, though, and the Cannoneers reclaimed the lead in the bottom half of the second and led the rest of the game.

In the second game, Bard walked and scored twice, and Cottrill, Taylor Hunter, Gabrielle Hass, and Makayla Titus collected hits for the Spartans. Marinelli, Hunter, Hass, Titus and Skyler White drove-in runs for Cayuga. 

Cayuga is now 1-10 on the season. The Spartans are back at Falcon Park for a doubleheader against Finger Lakes Community College on Wednesday, April 13. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m.
