Lady Lakers End Spring Break Trip by splitting a pair of Games

MYRTLE BEACH, SC. – The Lady Lakers, on the final day of their spring break trip down south, took a split in a pair of contests. In an early morning game against conference foe Onondaga CC, Finger Lakes fell 7-0. Following their meeting with OCC, the Lady Lakers rebounded nicely by conquering a 10-6 win over Alfred State College. The split put Finger Lakes record at 2-6 (0-1) on the season.

In a losing effort against OCC, Rachel Mertens led the Lady Lakers both on the mound as well as inside the batters box. The Syracuse, NY native posted a 7-strikeout outing on the hill all while going 2 for 3 from the plate. Adding a pair of 1 for 2 showings with their sticks for Finger Lakes were Elaina Evinsky and Courtney Edger.

In the final game of their long drive down to Myrtle Beach, the Lady Lakers posted double-digits in the runs column as they received a great performance out of their batting order against Alfred State. Samantha German and Evinsky whacked two and three-run homers respectively for Finger Lakes.

Freshman Katie Plummer racked up a flawless 3 for 3 game from the plate for the Lady Lakers. In addition, she scored three runs and tagged on an RBI in the win. Finger Lakes second-year outfielder Tamara Robertson contributed a pair of hits along with an RBI. She finished the contest by going 2 for 3 from the dish.

Evinsky, along with her offensive production, paced the Lady Lakers in the pitching department.
