Gore Sets Home Run Record as River Hawk Softball Splits Final Day in Florida

Kissimmee, Fla. – Senior infielder Jackie Gore (Andover, N.J./Newton) became Susquehanna University's new career home run leader on Thursday as Gore cracked her school record 16th homer and helped the River Hawk softball team to a split on its final day of action at The Spring Games in Florida. Susquehanna (5-6) posted a 10-3 victory over the College of Staten Island Dolphins (0-4) before falling 5-3 to Westminster (Pa.) College (5-3).
 
Game 1

How It Happened
  • Following a scoreless first inning, Susquehanna put up three runs on the board in the top of the second. Freshman infielder Kiara Bryant (Allentown, Pa./Parkland) and senior designated player Jill Ahrens (Clarence, N.Y./Sacred Heart) scored the first two thanks to a pair of errors by the Dolphin pitcher. Sophomore outfielder Katherine Fahsbender (Sparta, N.J./Pope John XXIII), the No. 8 hitter, then made contact for a RBI double and brought home sophomore outfielder Kody Streeter (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown), who reached on an error by the pitcher.
  • After an uneventful third inning, SU stretched its lead to 4-0 as Gore, the No. 7 hitter for the River Hawks, connected for her record-setting leadoff solo shot to centerfield in the fourth.
  • Susquehanna tacked on three more in the sixth as freshman outfielder Katie Welker (Williamsport, Pa./Loyalsock Township) and junior pinch hitter Sam Duplissey (Millersville, Pa./Penn Manor) combined to drive in three runs. Duplissey drove in two runs with her second career double.
  • The Dolphins avoided the shutout loss in the bottom of the sixth when Sierra Kaplanek hit a two-out RBI double.
