Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 FORT MYERS, Fla. (Mar. 10) – The Nichols College softball team rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning against MCLA Saturday afternoon to top the Trailblazers, 7-6, to follow up a 4-0 morning win over Mitchell Saturday afternoon at the Gene Cusic Classic. The Bison even their record a 2-2 and will face The College of Wooster and SUNY Brockport on Sunday morning.

Nichols trailed, 6-3, headed into the bottom of the sixth when Chelsea Correia delivered a two-out RBI double. The Bison again lit up the scoreboard with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, with a walkoff double to center from Rachel Dalrymple. Avery Orszulak got on base with a one-out double. After Kristine Jackson and Lauren Correia reached on singles, Orszulak scored when the shortstop over threw the ball back to the pitcher, leaving Jackson and Correia on second and third for Dalrymple to send across.

MCLA took advantage of two Bison errors to score one run in the first, and scored three runs in the second on a two-run double and a passed ball. A two-out, bases-empty walk in the third led to a run after consecutive singles, and the final Trailblazers run came in the fourth, again with two outs on a fielding error.

Becca Waszczuk earned the win in her first career start, allowing six runs (three earned) on eight hits while fanning three and walking only two.

In the first game of the day, senior Molly Ferraro struck out nine in a four-hit shutout. The Bison only allowed four baserunners in the game after working out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the first. Senior shortstop Savannah Thibault went 3-for-3 with a two-run double in the second inning to lead Nichols' eight hits on the day.
