Phelan Strikes Out Career-High; Bonnies Earn Split With Buffalo

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – A complete game, two-hit effort from sophomore pitcher Emily Phelan lifted the St. Bonaventure University softball team to a series split with Buffalo Wednesday afternoon at Joyce Field.

The Bonnies (7-23) grabbed game two from the Bulls, 2-1, in a pitchers' duel that saw just five hits between the teams.

Buffalo (14-11) was able to take game one, 7-2.

Game 1 – Buffalo 7, St. Bonaventure 2 – Box Score
Buffalo grabbed an early 1-0 in the opening inning when Alexis Lucyshyn doubled to center field.

The Bonnies were quick to tie the contest in the bottom half of the inning off an Olivia Moon RBI double to right, scoring Grace Perechinsky from first.

In the bottom of the second, Grace Walker lined a triple down the right field line and came across to score on the play following a throwing error from the outfield, giving the Bonnies their first lead of the afternoon.

The Bulls, however, reclaimed the lead in the top of the third, 3-2, on an RBI single and a wild pitch.

Buffalo plated four insurance runs in the top of the seventh, highlighted by a two-run home run off the bat of Madison Fernimen.

The Bulls started game two with a bang with a solo home run on the second pitch of the game off the bat of Anna Aguon.

Bona's answered in the bottom of the first when Haley Strang crossed home after a throw down to second on a double stolen base attempt with runners at the corners.

Shannon Costello broke the deadlock in the bottom of the fifth, swinging first pitch and lining one up the middle, scoring Madison Stewart from third for the eventual winning run of the ballgame.

Emily Phelan shined in the circle for the Bonnies, striking out a career-high eight batters and surrendering just two hits while walking one.

The Bonnies return to Atlantic 10 Conference play Saturday on the road at Rhode Island with a doubleheader. First pitch is slated for 12:00 p.m.
