With the wins, the Thoroughbreds improve to 6-10, while Cobleskill drops to 2-4 overall.

Skidmore countered in the home half of the fifth, scoring two unearned runs to take the 2-1 lead.
Two runs would be all that the Thoroughbreds would need in the first game, as Katie Sorochka was nearly untouchable, allowing only three hits while striking out nine, including five of the game's first seven batters, en route to her fifth win of the season.
Brianne Gray was on the losing end for Cobleskill, despite only giving up five hits in six innings. With the loss, she moves to 0-3 on the year.

Lull was 1-2 in the contest with an RBI double for the Fighting Tigers. Jessica Massi and Mattea Bagley each went 1-3. Skidmore was equally impressive in the second game, outscoring the Tigers 10-1 in five innings.
Sorochka took the mound for the Thoroughbreds again in the second game, and showed no fatigue from her game one start. The junior pitcher gave up one hit and a one run while dismissing five by way of the strikeout to earn her second win of the afternoon and sixth of the season.
The Thoroughbreds got to the Fighting Tiger pitcher early, scoring two first innings runs. Fishkin doubled to deep center field, scoring Julia Schwartz and Sorochka to give the Thoroughbreds a 2-0 lead.
Back-to-back Tiger errors in the second inning led to another Thoroughbred run when Mackenzie Whiting pushed Peverada across the plate.
Cobleskill scored its only run of the game in the third inning after two Tigers reached base after being hit by a pitch. A Skidmore error allowed the Tigers to cut the lead to 3-1.
Skidmore broke the game open in the bottom of the fourth inning, scoring six runs to bring the score to 10-1.
Whiting started the Thoroughbred rally with a single up the middle followed by back-to-back walks for Sorochka and Schwartz. With the bases loaded and one out, Fishkin reached on a fielder's choice and the Tigers couldn't record an out on the play as Whiting scored. Three consecutive singles by Lila Rosenfeld, Peverada and Abby Shea plated four more Thoroughbred runs. The Thoroughbreds would score their 10th and final run on a Tiger error.
Rosenfeld was 2-3 in the game with a double, three RBI and one run scored. Sorochka was 1-1 with a pair of walks and two runs scored, while Fishkin was 1-2 with three RBI and two runs scored.
Bagley had the lone hit for the Tigers; while Hannah Milligan scored Cobleskill's only run.
