GAME 1

Thomas' cycle highlighted three Warriors who had multiple hits, along with Wallick (2-for-3, 2B, HR, 2 RBI, 2 runs) and sophomore OF Cristina Coppola (2-for-4, RBI).

Wallick led off the game with a home run, her first of the season and the third of her career, but the game was tied 1-1 through three innings before the Warriors put it away with 10 runs over the final three frames.

The Warriors scored five runs on four hits and two errors in the fourth, sparked by a one-out triple by Thomas. After two errors, Sophomore Janine Giordano, Coppola and junior Rae Holden all added RBI singles later in the inning to make it 9-3.

ESU scored three runs on four hits in the fifth with Thomas providing a leadoff double. All three runs were scored with two outs on singles by sophomore OF Madison Oren and freshman 3B Samantha Pickar, and a double by Wallick.

Thomas capped the scoring with her two-run homer in the sixth.

ESU scored in five of the six innings, jumping out to a 7-1 lead through four innings before ending it once again in the sixth.

Wallick drew a leadoff walk and scored on an RBI single by Dungee in the first, and sophomore 2B Heather Visco walked, stole second, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on an RBI single by Giordano in the second.
