Softball splits NESCAC doubleheader with Wesleyan, Tansky ’25 pitches a gem

Mayer ’26 smacked a walk-off double in game one for the Continentals

CLINTON, N.Y. – Hamilton College's Emma Tansky '25 tossed a shutout and Alexis Mayer '26 hit a walk-off double in Game 1 as the Continentals split a NESCAC doubleheader with the Wesleyan University Cardinals at Hamilton's Loop Road Athletic Complex on Sunday afternoon, April 20. 
 

Season Update

  • Hamilton (13-7, 5-5 NESCAC) won the opener 1-0 in eight innings. 
  • The Cardinals (20-10, 9-5) have won five of their last seven contests after a 6-1 victory in Game 2.  

Game 1

 

How It Happened

  • The Cardinals picked up two quick outs in the bottom of the eighth, but the Continentals weren't finished yet. Miranda Mosqueda '28 kept the inning alive with a sharp single up the middle and set the stage for Mayer, who delivered in the clutch with a walk-off double down the left field line, and Mosqueda sprinted all the way around to score the only run. 
  • Mayer was the first base runner with a four-pitch walk with two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Continentals threatened with two runners aboard after Lydia Mirabito '26 reached on a dropped third strike, but the Cardinals worked out of the jam as the next batter tapped one back to the pitcher for the third out.
  • Wesleyan put pressure on in the top of the fifth with back-to-back infield singles—its first base runners of the afternoon—but the Continentals forced out a runner at third base on a fielder's choice and Tansky struck out the next batter.
  • The Cardinals mounted another threat in the top of the sixth with a leadoff walk and advanced the runner into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. Tansky rose to the occasion once again, notching her fifth strikeout and fielding a comebacker that ended the inning.
  • Hamilton left a total of five runners stranded across the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Both teams went down in order in the seventh, and the game went into extra innings.
  • Wesleyan sparked some hope with a leadoff triple in the top of the eighth, but the Continentals quickly shut the door. After a pop-up to second for the first out, the Cardinals tried to score on a ground ball back to Tansky. She calmly checked the runner, fired to third base, and Hamilton executed a textbook rundown at the plate.

Notes

  • The Continentals honored their five seniors before the game.
  • Mayer smacked her fourth double of the season and leads the team with 22 hits. 
  • Mosqueda notched her fifth multi-hit game of the season. She recorded half of the Continentals' four hits. 
  • Yael Everett '28 chipped in a single and a stolen base.
  • Tansky (7-1) recorded her second shutout of the season with a dominant eight innings. She allowed just three hits and one walk and struck out six.
  • Waverly Smart and Whitney Gigante singled and tripled, respectively, for the Cardinals.
  • Abby Orso allowed one run on four hits, issued two walks and struck out nine in a strong 7.2 innings. Orso also added one of Wesleyan's three hits at the plate.  

Game 2

 

How It Happened

  • The Cardinals seized a two-run lead in the top of the second inning and stretched its lead to 5-0 with three runs in the fourth.
  • Hamilton plated its only run in the bottom of the fifth. Everett led off with a bunt single, stole second and went to third base on a groundout. A throwing error that put pinch-hitter Sofia Santana '26 on base allowed Everett to score. 
  • The Cardinals added their sixth and final run in the seventh inning. 

Notes

  • Tansky singled twice and is third on the team with 16 hits. 
  • Everett tallied her fifth multi-hit game of the season with two hits and swiped her 11th base. 
  • Gabby Garrison '27 recorded her 12th hit of the season. 
  • Three of Wesleyan's five hits were triples. 
  • Rebecca Cassell-Siskind drove in two runs with a triple, and Orso knocked in another with a triple. 
  • Molly Lennon crossed the plate twice, tripled and drew a team-high two walks.
  • Jacelyn Lees (10-2) allowed one unearned run on five hits over seven innings.

Next Game

The Continentals host SUNY Oneonta for a midweek non-conference twinbill on Tuesday, April 22 starting at 3:30 p.m.
