Delhi, NY - Delhi softball hosted non-conference opponents Elmira in a doubleheader on Monday afternoon at Robert S. Brown Fields. They would fall in the first game 11-3 and then in a close second game would be defeated again 8-5.

How it Happened:

Game One Delhi 3 | Elmira 11

The Broncos (3-25,0-3) would find themselves down 3-0 in the second inning and rally to tie it up in the bottom half of the frame. After a lead-off Sidney Cooper single, Lauren Zecca and Rhianna Iglesias would draw walks to load the bases with no outs. Delhi would score one on a wild pitch before freshman Emmalee Keyser and Gabriella Narcisse knocked in a run each to tie the game at 3-3.

The bats would then break down as they failed to score again. Katelynn Rose was on the mound, pitching five innings with four strikeouts.

Game Two: Delhi 5 | Elmira 8

After finding themselves down 8-0 after the top half of the fifth inning, the Broncos came to life. In the bottom half of the fifth, they would put two on the board after Roselyn Monks drove in freshman Miah Hamm and McKenzie Wilson with a big double.

This woke the offense up as they scored again in the sixth inning after senior Kayla Beers was knocked in by Sidney Cooper after Beers singles and stole second. In the seventh, the Broncos would stage a comeback after Danielle Seymour smacked a two-run single to second. Another Beers single and a Cooper walk would load the bases with just one out, but Elmira would get two big strikeouts to shut the door.

Seymour pitched seven solid frames, throwing two strikeouts and only allowing four earned runs.

What's Next:

The Broncos won't wait long till they see the field again, traveling to SUNY Cobleskill on Tuesday, April 18th for a conference doubleheader at 3:00 and 5:00 PM.
