SUNY Delhi softball was on the road as they made their way to Elmira, NY for a doubleheader with Elmira College Soaring Eagles.

GAME 1: DELHI (0) vs. ELMIRA (1):

HOW IT HAPPENED:

The first three innings would be quiet for both teams. Delhi The Broncos would get a runner on base in each of the innings but wouldn't threaten until the 4th inning. The home team wouldn't fair any better; tallying single runners in the first and third.

In Delhi's half of the 4th inning, Carolina Watson led off with a double before advancing to third on a Danielle Seymour bunt attempt. Seymour would reach base on the attempt. Angelina Dickel would load the bases on a 5-pitch walk. It was the Elmira pitcher that would get out of the inning, retiring the next three batters, all on groundouts.

The rest of the fourth and the fifth inning were again quiet. The 0-0 deadlock was broken in the bottom of the 6th inning when Elmira singled in the game only run.

But Delhi wouldn't go down without a fight; again loading the bases in the 7th. The Broncos would ultimately drop the game: 1-0.
