Colonials Edged Out by Penguins

MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – YSU's two shutouts defeat RMU, 1-0 and 2-0. The Colonials are now 10-17 overall and 5-6 in Horizon League action. The Penguins moved up to 25-12 and 12-2 in conference play.
 
GAME 1
  • Freshman pitcher Kaitlyn Molitoris started the game in the circle for the Colonials.
  • She went through the first four innings not allowing a single hit.
  • RMU's best chance to score came in the bottom of the third inning.
  • The inning began with a leadoff single by Meadow Sacadura. Pinch running for the catcher, Bailee Bertani stole second base and reached third off a single by Jess Matheny.
  • The Colonials almost scored the first run of the series as the ball was put into play by Kaylyn Hopf. Bertani sprinted in quick, but a quick shovel pass from the Penguins third baseman to their catcher was quick enough to tag her out.
  • Entering the fifth inning, an RBI triple by YSU would be the difference to win 1-0.

In a low scoring game, the Penguins recorded four hits and RMU posted three. Kaitlyn Molitoris pitched a career high five innings in her outing. She tied her career best five strikeouts as she did against Akron (3/19). Kailani Tatro finished off the final two innings and didn't allow a run to be scored.
 
GAME 2
