Clutch hitting lifts Gators to doubleheader sweep

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. – The Allegheny softball team swept for the third time at The Spring Games on Thursday (March 9), defeating Chicago Concordia 7-6 in extra innings before rallying to defeat previously undefeated Dominican 5-4 in game two.
 
Game 1 - Allegheny 7, Concordia Chicago 6 (8 innings)
 
In the second inning, Sofia Genareo (Lakewood, N.Y./Southwestern Central) was hit by a pitch before Olivia Devries (Kent, Ohio/Field) singled to right center. After Anna Castlevetere (Clarence, N.Y./Nardin Academy) entered to run for Genareo, Samantha Phillips (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) singled down the right field line, bringing Castlevetere across for the game's first run. Hadley Horensky (Jefferson Hills, Pa./Seton LaSalle Catholic) followed up with a sac fly to center, scoring Devries to make it 2-0.
 
However, the Cougars scored four runs in the bottom of the second as they jumped ahead, 4-2.
 
The Gators made up the runs in the top of the third. Aleya Belardinelli (Melbourne, Fla./West Shore) reached on a fielding error. Sophia Godzak (Belle Vernon, Pa./Belle Vernon) singled  to move the runner up. After a deep flyout, Devries singled once more, scoring Belardinelli and cutting the lead to 4-3. Cameron Long (Midlothian, Va./Midlothian) was walked to load the bases. Phillips once again delivered another RBI, scoring a pinch running Maley Gleason (Houston, Texas/Westside) to tie the game.
 
Horensky led off the fourth with a single and moved to third on an Audrey Blarr (Clarence, N.Y./Clarence) sac bunt and a Halle Book (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Catholic) infield single. On a double steal, Horensky came across the plate, putting Allegheny back in the lead. But once again, the Cougars responded with a run in the bottom of the frame to tie it up again.
 
Neither team was able to produce a run in the sixth or seventh, sending the game into extra innings.
 
Devries started the eighth on second. Long opened with a bunt, reaching safely and moving up to second on the play. Phillips was walked to load the bases for Horensky. Horensky belted a shot to the outfield, scoring Devries and Long to put the Gators in front, 7-5
 
The Cougars scored the initial runner at second base on a sacrifice fly to cut it to 7-6. Concordia Chixago had a pair of hits to put runners at first and second, but Samantha Dzierba (Colden, N.Y./Orchard Park) struck out the final two batters as the Gators were victorious.

Genareo smacked a double to the left center fence, bringing Castlevetere around, cutting the lead down to three. Phillips hit a two-out single, but Dominican got out of the jam without allowing another run across.
 
The Gator bats came alive in the fifth. Isabelle Wakefield (Sicklerville, N.J./Timber Creek) led off with a single.
