O'Connell Leads Taconic Softball in Double-Header Sweep

PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- Payton O’Connell collected six hits Wednesday to lead the Taconic softball team to a double-header sweep over Drury at the Doyle Complex.

 

The teams played the twin-bill to make up a game that was rained out earlier this season.

 

In the first one, Taconic’s home game, O’Connell went 3-for-5 along with Taylar Ostrander to lead Taconic to a 12-7 win as the home team overcame an early 5-0 deficit.

 

Kiki Carrigan got the win in the circle and helped her own cause with a 4-for-4 performance at the plate.

 

Anna Dix went 2-for-5 for Drury in the loss.

 

In the nightcap, O’Connell, Aubrey Lazits and Jenyka Ostellino each went 3-for-6. Lazits scored three times, as did Delaney Ivas in a 15-7 victory.

 

Mary Lee got the win in the circle in that contest.

 

Olivia Mazacco was 2-for-4 at the plate for Drury (5-13), which closes with home games against Hoosac Valley and Mount Greylock on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

 

Taconic (5-11) travels to Mount Greylock on Thursday.
