PAUL AND CARY FEATURE WALK OFFS IN ECC DOUBLEHEADER SWEEP OF MOLLOY

STATEN ISLAND, NY – The College of Staten Island softball team hosted its first East Coast Conference (ECC) doubleheader of the season Tuesday afternoon at the CSI Softball Complex, taking on Molloy University.

Both games extended beyond regulation, with the opener going eight innings and the nightcap stretching to 11. Madilyn Paul and Kaylee Cary delivered walk-off hits in their respective contests, lifting the Dolphins to a sweep and improving the team to 9-9 overall and 4-0 in conference play.

Game One: CSI 6, Molloy 5 (8 innings)

Molloy jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first inning, but CSI responded after being held scoreless through two frames. The Dolphins evened the score at 3-3 in the bottom of the third.

Aliveah Warner and Paul reached base to start the inning and moved into scoring position on a wild pitch. Abbie Morris drove in two runs with a double down the right field line, and Taryn Judson followed with an RBI to tie the game.

The Lions regained the lead with two runs in the fifth, but CSI chipped away. Jianna Lopez doubled home Julia Del Mastro in the sixth to make it 5-4, and Milene Mendoza delivered a game-tying double in the seventh to force extra innings.

Emma Powell, who relieved Kennedie Ruth in the sixth, kept Molloy off the board the rest of the way. In the bottom of the eighth, Paul came through with a walk-off single up the middle to secure the 6-5 victory.

Mendoza led the offense, going 4-4 with a double and an RBI. Lopez and Morris each added two hits. Ruth tossed five innings in the start, while Powell earned her first collegiate win with three scoreless innings, allowing just four hits.

Game Two: CSI 4, Molloy 3 (11 innings)

The second game was a back-and-forth battle that remained scoreless until Mendoza launched her first home run of the season—also her first as a Dolphin—to give CSI a 1-0 lead.

Molloy tied the game in the fifth, but the Dolphins responded in the bottom half when Paul drove in a run with a sacrifice fly after CSI loaded the bases. The Lions answered again in the seventh to even the score at 2-2 and force extra innings.

Neither team scored in the eighth or ninth before Molloy pushed ahead in the 10th. CSI responded once more, this time on an RBI single by Bridget Motley.

After holding Molloy in the top of the 11th, the Dolphins mounted a two-out rally in the bottom half. Lopez doubled to put herself in scoring position, and Paul followed with a walk. Cary then delivered the decisive blow, driving a double to secure the 4-3 walk-off win.

Cary finished 2-2 with the game-winning RBI, while Paul went 2-4. Mendoza added her home run, and Motley contributed two hits. Marena Grenier earned her sixth win of the season, tossing a complete game over 11 innings with five strikeouts.

CSI returns to action on Saturday, April 4, when it hosts D'Youville University at 12:00 PM at the CSI Softball Complex.
