Knights Battle Past Old Westbury, 2-0

Morris fires two-hitter, Ferara delivers deciding run

Newburgh, N.Y. – Bridget Morris (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) worked a complete game, two-hit shutout and Olivia Ferara (Middletown, N.Y.) drove in the game winning run with a double in the sixth inning as the Mount Saint Mary College Softball team advanced in the 2023 Skyline Conference Championship with a 2-0 victory over fifth seeded Old Westbury on Tuesday.
 
Tuesday's win, the Mount's fifth straight victory, improves it to 20-17 overall on the season while Old Westbury sees its season close with a 12-17 overall record.
 
How It Happened
  • Morris set the tone early for the Knights, retiring the first eight batters she faced, including five by strikeout.
  • Mount Saint Mary had an immediate threat in the first inning following back-to-back singles from Ferara and Rory Littman (Rancho Cordero, Calif.) to put runners at the corners with no one out.
  • Old Westbury starter, Julia Pastrana, retired the next three Knights in order to keep the Mount off the board.
  • Old Westbury put together a threat of its own in the top of the fourth when Alaina Reilly and Madison Danin drew back-to-back walks to start the inning.
  • A two-out free pass to Hillary Bennett following a groundout and a foul out, loaded the bases for the Panthers, but Angelina Fernandez lined out to right to end the inning.
  • Mount Saint Mary got another runner to third in the fifth without scoring before finally breaking through in the sixth with the only two runs of the contest.
  • Dana Donnelly (Yulan, N.Y.) led off the sixth for the Mount with a lined single to center field.
  • Kaeli McAnally (Bay Shore, N.Y.) moved Donnelly to second with a sacrifice bunt before Ferara doubled to left center field to chase Donnelly home with the game's first run.
  • After Ferara advanced to third on an error, Samantha Bendig (Tampa, Fla.) brought her home with a sacrifice fly to give the Mount a two-run cushion.
  • Old Westbury would not go quietly in the seventh, putting the tying runs on base in the inning.
  • Bennett drew a one-out walk before a Fernandez single put two runners on.
  • Following a popup and Natalie Intrieri was hit with a pitch to load the bases, Morris struck out pinch hitter Jessica Tucci to end the game.
 
For The Knights
  • Morris worked her fourth shutout of the season and moved to 11-8 on the year with her performance on Tuesday. She allowed just two singles in the game and struck out nine Panthers.
  • Ferara finished the contest 3-for-3 at the plate with a walk, double, run scored and an RBI.
