History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n LOUDONVILLE, NY \u2014 Behind a near-perfect performance from Gracie Goewey<\/a> in game one, Siena Softball (23-14, 14-7 MAAC) split a doubleheader against Mount St. Mary’s (16-26, 11-10 MAAC) at Siena Softball Field, earning a 3-0 shutout victory before falling 5-0 in the second game.
\n\u00a0
\nSiena 3, Mount St. Mary’s 0
\nGoewey delivered one of the most commanding performances of the season, coming within two outs of perfection in a masterclass inside the circle. The sophomore right-hander retired the first 19 batters she faced and carried a perfect game into the seventh inning with one out before surrendering the Mountaineers’ lone hit of the afternoon. She ultimately finished with a one-hit shutout, striking out 10 without issuing a walk in a hyper-efficient 84-pitch effort, 59 of which went for strikes.
\n\u00a0
\nGoewey wasn’t finished there. She provided all the offense Siena would need in the bottom of the first, crushing a three-run home run to plate Carlie Venables<\/a> and Emma Petersen<\/a>. That early swing proved decisive, as the Saints never looked back.
\n\u00a0
\nSiena’s defense backed the dominant pitching with a clean, error-free effort, while Petersen added a double and a run scored. Venables reached base twice via walks and crossed the plate once as part of the decisive first-inning rally.
\n\u00a0
\nBehind Goewey’s near-perfect outing and complete command from start to finish, Siena secured a crisp 3-0 victory.
\n\u00a0
\nMount St. Mary’s 5, Siena 0
\nThe momentum shifted in the nightcap, as Mount St. Mary’s struck early and never relinquished control. Aver Dinges launched a three-run homer in the first inning to give the Mountaineers an immediate advantage, and Siena was unable to recover offensively.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Saints were limited to four hits in the game and could not generate sustained pressure at the plate. Mount St. Mary’s added two insurance runs in the sixth to extend the margin.
\n\u00a0
\nGoewey returned to the circle and battled through 5.1 innings, recording four strikeouts, while Violet Marta<\/a> provided a bright spot out of the bullpen. Marta was efficient in relief, tossing 1.2 scoreless innings and allowing just one hit on 14 pitches.
\n\u00a0
\nSiena will return to action on Saturday, Apr. 25, hosting Merrimack for a doubleheader beginning at noon at Siena Softball Field.
