Though there were several games in which they faced strong competition, CWRU handily defeated most opponents. CWRU kicked off the first day triumphantly against Ramapo College. With bases loaded in the third inning, the Spartans took a 4-2 lead after a single, a walk and a double by second-year Isabella Russo. First- year Elizabeth Berry and third-year Stevie Rieger each recorded two hits for CWRU. Russo drove in 2 runs while third-year KaiLi Gross and first-year Anna Gobeyn recorded a double and a run batted in (RBI). Second-year Lexi Miskey pitched for the first four innings in which she allowed 3 runs, 4 hits and 2 walks to go with 8 strikeouts. Second-year Kylie Hosey finished the last three innings, allowing a run on 3 hits and a walk with 3 strikeouts. At the end of the day, CWRU managed to pull off the 6-4 win.
