Freshman catcher Alexis Broderick led the charge with a 2-for-3 performance, driving in four runs including a two-run double.

She allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits with three strikeouts.
 
Game 2: SUNY Adirondack 9, Herkimer 7
In game two, Herkimer kept the bats going, collecting 12 hits, but couldn't overcome defensive miscues that led to five errors. The Generals built an early lead with a three-run third inning and added single runs in the sixth and seventh but couldn't contain Adirondack's mid-game rally.
 
Broderick once again stood out, going 3-for-4 with five RBIs, including a home run and a double. Aubrey Lewis added an RBI single, while Yetnelyz Lugo-Mateo and Emma Carlton each had multi-hit games.
 
Lewis took the loss in relief, allowing four earned runs over 5.1 innings after Crysler pitched the first two frames.
 
With the split, Herkimer moves to 2-7 overall, 1-1 in conference play.
