DeMarco Powers Mount to Sweep of Mount Saint Vincent in Skyline Opener

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 RIVERDALE, N.Y. - After losing a pair to Brooklyn College on Thursday, the Mount bounced back by sweeping Mount Saint Vincent on Saturday afternoon.  Junior Amanda Barrese (Staten Island, N.Y.) picked up the win in game one with a score of 9-3, while senior Caitlin Maynes (Miller Place, N.Y.) earned the victory in game two by a final score of 7-5.

In game one, senior Ashley Schirripa (Staten Island, N.Y.) got the Mount off to a quick start after her double down the left field line scored freshman Sabrina Gordek (Levittown, N.Y.) who was on base after reaching on a wild pitch.  Schirripa later scored when the Dolphins' centerfielder made an error on a shot up the middle from sophomore Stephanie Karcher (Oxford, Conn.).  Two innings later, senior Victoria DeMarco (Hicksville, N.Y.) added to the Mount's lead when her single to right field plated junior Ashley Peel (Shelton, Conn.) and freshman Brianne Germain (Greenwood Lake, N.Y,), who was pinch running for junior Chelsea Hepburn (New York, N.Y.).  DeMarco picked up another RBI in the sixth, putting their lead at 9-3.  Barrese scattered five hits and three runs over seven innings.

DeMarco continued where she left off in game two when her second inning triple scored Hepburn to put the Mount on top 1-0.  In the top of 6th with the Knights leading 4-2, she drove in her fifth RBI of the day when Peel scored to give the Knights a 5-2 lead.  Maynes kept the Dolphins at bay despite the three runs they scored in the bottom of the seventh inning.  She ended the game with six strikeouts as they completed the sweep with a 7-5 victory.

Mount Saint Mary is now 2-0 in the Skyline with an overall record of 5-8, while Mount Saint Vincent drops to 0-2 in the conference and to 1-5 for the season.
