PATCHOGUE, NY - Taking the diamond for the first time since the end of March, the Yeshiva Softball Team dropped a doubleheader to St. Joseph University Long Island, losing to the Golden Eagles by scores of 12-1 and 12-0 on Thursday, Apr. 16th.
 
In game one, the Maccabees were led by Aliza Feldman, with the senior recording two hits and an RBI. In game two, YU saw a stellar performance out of Galit Roth, as the second-year player recorded two hits on three at-bats.
 
With the result, the Macs are now 0-15, 0-10 in conference play.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED - Game 1 (L, 12-1)

• Yeshiva recorded two hits through the first two innings, seeing both Feldman and Maya Dennen record infield singles.
   
• However, despite the success, YU could not turn baserunners into runs until the top of the fifth. After singling to the first baseman, Shira Pfeiffer advanced to second on a walk drawn by Tali Finkelstein. She was then brought home by a Feldman single to right field, recording YU's one and only run of the afternoon.
   
• Unfortunately, SJLI had no such issues scoring, tallying five runs in the first inning, six in the second, and one in the third.

• Runs: Pfeiffer (1)

HOW IT HAPPENED - Game 2 (L, 12-0)

• Replicating their early success of game one, YU notched three hits through the first two innings, as Roth, Feldman, and Layla Hellman all made solid contact.
   
• Unfortunately, the Macs were unable to translate those hits into runs. Their best chance to score came in the top of the third, having loaded the bases with two outs. However, a final strikeout left all three runners stranded.
   
• The Golden Eagles tallied one run in the first, nine in the second, and two in the fourth.
