The St. John Fisher College softball team hit 30 wins with a sweep of Keuka College on Monday afternoon.  With the nonconference wins Fisher is now 30-10 on the season, while Keuka falls to 19-9 with the losses.

The games were very different in nature, with the first game of the day decided by a single run and the second ending in the sixth inning due to the mercy rule.

Game One: Fisher 1, Keuka 0

Leanne Merchant lifted the Cardinals over Keuka when she hit a solo shot over the center field wall to post the only run scored in game one.  The home run was Merchant's 11th of the year, tying her single-season record set last year.

Danielle Leone pitched her ninth shutout of the year, as she struck out 10 batters in the game.  The junior only allowed two hits and didn't walk a single batter.

Merchant finished with two hits in the game, while Sarah Fordyce, Kaylee Tallman and Jennifer Martin had Fisher's other three.

Game Two: Fisher 14, Keuka 4 (6 Innings)

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Krista Robarge hit a walk-off home run over the center field wall to lead Fisher to a mercy rule victory on the Cardinals home field.

After game one, which took six innings to score a run, Keuka opened with a single run in the top of the first inning but Fisher answered with four runs in the bottom of the first to gain a 4-1 lead.  In the first, Merchant tied the game at 1s when she doubled to score lead-off hitter Jennifer Vanek.  Fordyce, the next batter, doubled to right field, bringing Merchant and Carissa Carlson across the plate. Tallman then reached on a fielding error, allowing a Fisher run to come in. 

Fisher added single runs in both the second and fifth innings, but it was a five-run fourth inning that gave the Cardinals a sizable lead.  With the bases loaded, Carlson singled up the middle to score Kelly Jones from third base.  A passed ball and a wild pitch allowed two more Fisher runs to come in, leaving Carlson as the only runner at third.

Fordyce drew a walk to place runners at the corners, while Tallman followed with a single to score the senior Carlson and move Fordyce to third.  The inning's scoring was ended with the second wild pitch of the frame which allowed Fordyce to come across.

Fisher looked to wrap the game up in the bottom of the fifth as they entered with a 11-4 lead, but the Cardinals could only muster a single run, forcing a sixth inning. 

In the bottom of that inning, Christina Sakran and Jessica D'Angelo reached, allowing Robarge to close out the game with her three-run shot.

Sarah Stefanon earned the win from the circle, as she struck out seven batters and scattered four hits with no earned runs. 

The games were the final of the regular season for the Cardinals, as they will next travel to Ithaca College to participate in the Empire 8 Championship.  Fisher will open play at 10 a.m. on Friday when it faces off with the Stevens Institute of Technology Ducks.
