New Paltz, NY – The SUNY Canton softball team headed down to New Paltz to play the Hawks in a doubleheader Thursday, but dropped both contests in southern New York.

In game one, the Hawks put one five runs in the first frame, and it did not get any better later in the game for the Roos as they fell 18-0. Game two was a bit milder, but New Paltz jumped out to a 10-0 lead after three innings to end game two prematurely again, 10-0, after five.

• Four hits along with a few free passes gave New Paltz an early advantage in game one as they went up 5-0.
• In the second inning, a leadoff triple followed by a hit-by-pitch, a single, and a double led to three runs scoring as the Hawks were ahead 8-0. New Paltz led 17-0 after three.
• Now 18-0 in the fifth, Bridgette Fox gave SUNY Canton their first baserunner in the frame with a double out to center field, but the Roos could not supplement her on the bases, falling after five innings.
