In its final road game of the season, Syracuse (19, 16, 11-13 Atlantic Coast) defeated Albany (16-17, 6-6 America East) 10-6. The Orange took advantage of three Great Dane errors and four hit by pitches for a season-high 10 runs, though just two were earned runs.
Albany took an early lead in the first inning after Kaia Oliver allowed two leadoff singles that left Alexis Phillips and Katie Falotico on first and second base, respectively. The Albany players advanced a base each on a fielder’s choice but were quickly brought home on two consecutive singles. That created an early 2-0 deficit for SU with two more runners on base and just an out.
