CBU Puts Up a Dozen in Win at Seattle U in Series Finale
3/19/2022 3:17:00 PM | Softball
Priscilla Estrada and Katelyn Mangrello led a massive offensive output for CBU, each recording three hits on the day. Mangrello also scored once and Estrada shined with two runs batted in and two runs scored. Karmyna Becerra also had a multi-hit game, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. In all, seven different Lancers made solid contact at the plate, connecting for 12 hits, the second most hits in a game this year and a season-high 12 runs.
On the other side of the game, Jazmine Castaneda shutdown the Redhawks from the circle, throwing a six-inning shutout, striking out three hitters while allowing just three hits. Castaneda only allowed two runners past first base, frustrating the Redhawk hitters all game long.
The Lancers opened the day with hot bats, as the two-three-four hitters in the lineup all singled to load the bases with one out. After opening the scoring on a wild pitch, CBU's Amanda Argomaniz laid down a sacrifice bunt to collect the first RBI of the day when she scored Michaila Harrington.

The Lancers would load the bases in the bottom of the third but leave them stranded. They doubled their lead in the bottom of the fourth on Estrada's two RBI single up the middle with two outs.

CBU would score one unearned in the fifth to go up 5-0 on Seattle before blowing the game wide open in the top of the sixth. CBU was so dialed at the plate during the sixth inning that it forced two pitching changes before the end of the frame. The Lancers would go off for seven runs in the inning, doing all of their damage with three walks, two singles, a double and a sacrifice fly.
Becerra earned the first RBI, scoring Sydney Soto with a single to keep the bases loaded. Argomaniz would walk in the seventh Lancer run before Nicole Stark came in to pinch hit, smacking a clutch RBI single to left field.

An error scored the ninth and 10th runs for CBU followed immediately by Tiana Patrick's RBI double, which scored Molly Kolander. Finally, Samantha Demyon brought home Patrick on a sacrifice fly to get the Lancers to an even dozen.
