FORT MYERS, Fla. – Kenyon College rolled by Nazareth College and Rockford University on Monday during the Gene Cusic Classic at CenturyLink Sports Complex. The Ladies downed Nazareth 9-4, and then against Rockford, Kenyon tied for the second-most hits in single-game history as they cruised 15-5. The wins evened Kenyon's record at 2-2.
 
GAME ONE
 
A pair of runs in the second and three more in the third provided Kenyon all the support it needed against the Golden Flyers.
 
After a scoreless first frame, the Ladies came through with a pair of hits with two outs. Britny Patterson came to the box and singled to right field scoring Lindsey Susolik who doubled to start the inning. In the next at-bat, Nicole Horito tripled to left center plating Patterson.
 
In the third, Jane Ghublikian socked a two-run homer to left field pushing the Ladies' lead to 4-0. Three batters later, freshman Grace Pilz drove in Amanda Ogata on a groundout moving the score to 5-0.
 
Kenyon added two more runs in the fifth before the Golden Flyers finally got on the scoreboard. Trailing 7-0, Nazareth got a run-scoring single from Stephanie Mongelli and added another after a wild pitch.
 
The Ladies' scoring efforts concluded in the sixth with an RBI single from Madi Maldonado and an RBI double from Susolik in the seventh.
 
Pitcher Austen Whibley earned her first collegiate win as she tossed a complete game, scattered seven hits, allowed four runs and struck out four.
 
GAME TWO
 
The Ladies collected 19 hits against the Regents during the second game of the day. That total tied for the second-most in single-game history and the most since Kenyon registered the same amount against Oberlin College on April 10, 2004.
 
Additionally, junior pitcher Sylvie Thomas fanned nine batters, a career high.
 
Rockford actually had the lead through the first three innings of the game, as they led 3-1 heading to the top of the fourth.
 
After that, the Ladies' bats came alive.
 
Kenyon seized the lead at 5-3 with a four-run fourth inning. Susolik led off with a double and Molly O'Connor followed with a single to put two on base. In the third at-bat of the frame, Pilz connected with a sacrifice fly to center scoring Susolik. Three batters later, Amanda Coyle smacked an RBI double and Maldonado followed with a single scoring Mari Colucci and Coyle.
 
The Kenyon lead ballooned even more in the fifth.  Rockford didn't help its chances either as four runs came across due to errors. Patterson's RBI double to left center scoring Pilz highlighted the Ladies' big inning.
 
Heading into the final two innings, the Ladies held a 10-5 lead.
 
Even with a massive advantage, the Kenyon offense didn't slow down. In the sixth, O'Connor doubled down the left-field line scoring Ogata and Patterson had an RBI single.
 
The Ladies added three more runs in the final inning as Susolik hit her sixth two-bagger of the year clearing the bases and pushing the lead to 15-5.
 
Due up next for Kenyon is a date with Olivet College and Bridgewater State University on March 9.
