After a rough start to the season, the Hudson Valley softball team continued their win streak as they scored two wins against Tompkins Cortland Community College — their first home win of the season.

During the first game, the Vikings’ offense quickly got to work, scoring six runs in the first inning and seven runs in the third.

Pitcher Elizabeth Brooking, of Rensselaer/Rensselaer, New York, played the whole game, allowing only five hits while acquiring four strikeouts. Paige Roberts, of Cobleskill/Cobleskill, New York, had a strong game with two hits, one double, two RBIs, and two runs scored.

Madison Herrington, of Mechanicville/Mechanicville, New York, drove two hits for three RBIs and scored a run. Gina Patricelli, of Troy/Lansingburgh, New York, and Sierra Putnam, of Nassau/New Lebanon, New York, both had a double in the contest.

In game two, the vikings scored an unbelievable 25 runs in just five innings while allowing three runs on the opposing team, allowing the Vikings to win the game with a score of 25-3.

While the win was a team effort, Putnam produced the highlight of the game as she beamed a drive to left field for a grand slam in the fourth inning.

Our Vikings will look to stay in the win column and hope their bats stay hot.
