ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – The St. Bonaventure University softball team swept rival Niagara in a non-conference doubleheader Thursday afternoon at Joyce Field.

The Bonnies grabbed game one in five innings, 8-0, and then took game two, 4-0, earning the sweep.

Grace Perechinsky got things started with a bang, belting a two-run home run to straightaway center field in the bottom of the first.

The Bonnies' bats stayed hot in the bottom of second, posting four runs in the inning to pull away early.

Haley Strang singled up the middle, scoring Macy Miller and Kennedy Haberl to double the lead to 4-0. Back-to-back RBI doubles off the bats of Brooke Bobbey and Olivia Moon gave the hosts a six-run cushion after two full innings.

Tierney Fitzgerald singled home Olivia Whitecar in the bottom of the fourth followed by a game-winning RBI single from Moon with two outs in the fifth to close out the game via the eight-run mercy rule.

Ally Haskell tossed a three-hit shutout, fanning three batters en route to her second victory of the season.

The game remained scoreless through the first three and half innings before the Bonnies were able to breakthrough in the bottom of the fourth.
