Mollee Putnam bounced back after a rough outing her last time out and she matched Oakes, only giving up 1 hit herself on way to her 9th win of the year.  Putnam struck out 3 batters and walked none.  Leading the hitting attack in game 1 was Britt Thivierge (3-4, 3 Runs, 2rbi’s) Olivia Tooley (3-5, 2 2B, 2runs, 3 rbi’s) Andrea Rogers (3-3, 2B, 2rbi’s)and Kayla Delles (2-4, 2B, 1 R, 2 rbi’s, 5 SB).  Adding hits and rbi’s for Herkimer was Kayla Ladd (1-3,rbi), Emily Woudenberg(1-4, 3B, rbi) Emily Baldwin (1-3, 3B, 2rbi’s).

Game two saw a lot of new faces in the game for the Generals but the same results.  Two Freshamn were instrumental the big offensive explosion for Herkimer.  Cassie Hennessey (Gloversville, NY) had a career day as she went 4-5, 1 Run, 5 rbi’s and a stolen base.  Sally Frakes, another Freshman from Cambridge NY went 4-5, 4 runs scored, 4 rbi’s with a double and a triple.  Also having stellar days at the plate were Dinah Vaveao (3-6, 4 R, 4 rbi’s, 2 2B) Emily Woudenberg (3-3, 2B, 2 rbi’s) Britt Thivierge (3-3, 3B, 5 runs) Olivia Tooley (2-4, 2 3B, 2 rbi’s).
