The Lakers would tack on two more runs in the top of the sixth, as Mattison Phinney and Grace DiPalma would both make their way home, before a fly out would end the inning.

The seventh inning would stay scoreless, as Fiona Higgins completed the game with 13 strikeouts, allowing just 3 hits through 7 innings, in the Lakers' 8-1 win over the Clarkson Golden Knights.

Game 2

The second game of the double header was a whole different story, as it was the Golden Knights who started off strong this time. A couple of big hits from Clarkson, when combined with a few fielding errors, would put the Lakers behind 7-0 through three innings of play.

Chelsea Sellars, Emma Grasso, and Maria Lutz all pitched for Oswego, but the Lakers were unable to maintain their stride from their first game.

Clarkson's dominance continued in the fourth and fifth innings, as the Lakers recorded just one hit, and were defeated by a score of 8-0.
