CANTON, N.Y. (April 11, 2021) – The SUNY Delhi softball team completed a weekend sweep of SUNY Canton Sunday afternoon to remain unbeaten at 6-0. After taking both games of their Saturday doubleheader on their home field, the Broncos met the Roos in Canton Sunday to claim a 7-3 win in the opener and a 12-4 victory in five innings in the second game. Delhi possesses a perfect 4-0 mark in the NAC West, with its next league matchup scheduled for SUNY Cobleskill this Wednesday and Thursday.

Sunday's games were originally scheduled to take place in Delhi, but weather considerations prompted the move to Canton. The Broncos retained designation as batting in the bottom half.

GAME ONE: DELHI 7, CANTON 3

The Broncos built a 4-0 lead after three innings, featuring RBI singles from Carissa Crandall and Kayla Beers. Canton got a run back in the fourth, only for Delhi to extend its lead in the bottom half with an RBI single from Jessica Kwasnik and Katelynn Rose ripping a two-RBI double with the bases loaded. The Broncos gathered 11 hits for the game.

Pitcher Mel Papuli went seven innings, allowing two earned runs on ten hits with a pair of strikeouts. She batted 2-for-3 with one double. Shortstop Shelby Nolan batted 2-for-4 with one double and one stolen base, while catcher Dakota Baker had one double in a 1-for-4 outing. Left fielder Mackenzie Sparacino went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, scoring on Kwasnik's fourth inning single. Crandall went 1-for-3 with one RBI and one stolen base.

GAME TWO: DELHI 12, CANTON 4 (FIVE INNINGS)

Delhi brought the bats for game two, collecting 14 hits and six Broncos earning multi-hit days. Dakota Baker had a versatile outing, batting 3-for-4 with two RBIs, one double, and coming across the plate for two runs, including a steal home. First base player Jessica Kwasnik and left fielder Mackenzie Sparacino each posted three-RBI days. Pitcher Katelynn Rose allowed four earned runs on 12 hits with one strikeout in five innings of work.

Kwasnik opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first, and later added a two-RBI single in a seven-run third for the Broncos. With the game tied at one in the second, Sparacino put Delhi back in front with a bases-clearing double to right center. After a Kayla Beers RBI single gave the Broncos a 5-2 lead in the third, Baker delivered a RBI double to center, followed by an infield single by Carissa Crandall to bring home another run. Both Baker and Crandall teamed up for the next run as runners on the corners, executing a double steal to stretch the lead to 8-2. After Kwasnik's double gave Delhi an eight-run lead, Katelynn Rose closed out the third-inning scoring with an RBI single. Canton got two runs back in the fourth, only for Baker to push through a two-out, bases-loaded RBI single up the middle in the fifth to press the eight-run rule.

Kwasnik finished 2-for-2 with one double, three RBIs, and two walks. Sparacino finished 2-for-4 with three RBIs. The center fielder Crandall batted 2-for-3 with one RBI and two stolen bases. Rose went 2-for-4 with one RBI, while Shelby Nolan batted 2-for-4.
