Softball Concludes 2024 Regular Season With Sweep Of Lehman; Secures Second Straight Regular Season Crown

Bronx, NY - On the final day of the 2024 regular season for the defending CUNYAC champions, the John Jay softball team took both games of Friday's twinbill, 2-0 and 16-0, over Lehman College. 

With the wins, the Bloodhounds will be the top-seed in the 2024 CUNYAC Softball Championships, scheduled to commence on May 9 at Brooklyn College. 
 


Additionally, John Jay, who has now posted shutouts in six straight games, wrapped up their second straight regular-season title. 

Game 1 | John Jay 2, Lehman 0
Graduate Jailene Santiago struck out the first seven batters en route to a career-high 15 strikeouts as the Bloodhounds blanked the Lightning, 2-0, in game one of Friday's doubleheader. 

Santiago finishes the regular season with a 13-4 overall record after going the distance, yielding just two hits while walking two and fanning 15. Rylea Sandel and Alyssa Cadolino each had two hits for the visitors with both driving in an RBI.

Lizbeth Perez and Jelene Figueroa had the lone hits for Lehman in game one. Jireh Espina allowed the two runs on 10 hits while walking three and striking out two. 

Elika Rodrigues walked to start the game before stealing second. With one out, Sandel singled to left field, scoring Rodrigues. Sandel commenced the third inning with a single to left center. Santiago doubled to move Sandel to third. The next batter, Cadolino, delivered an RBI single to center, plating Sandel for the second run of the contest. 

Santiago struck out Natalie Kola for her seventh punch-out of the contest. The consecutive strikeout streak ended when Nicole Lopez lined back to Santiago. Figueroa walked before Perez got the first hit off Santiago, a double, but Figueroa was thrown out at the plate. 

The Albany, NY native Santiago restarted her punch-out streak, fanning the next six batters before Lopez popped out to Sandel at short. Figueroa had the second hit for Lehman, but was thrown out trying to extend it to a double. 

Santiago fanned Pat Sanchez and Espina to end the contest. 

Game 2 | John Jay 16, Lehman 0 (5 Innings)
John Jay continued their offensive prowess in the second game, scoring a combined four runs over the first two innings before staging an eight-run fourth and finally tacking on four more in the fourth in notching a 16-0 victory. 

Lindsay Ogden recorded ten strikeouts while giving up two hits in five innings of work. 

Cadolino and Sidney Bankston each had three hits with Cadolino driving in three RBIs. Kayla Sauers, Santiago, and Kelly Fajardo each had two RBIs. 

Rodrigues and Julie-Ann Cartagena also added an RBI in the victory for the visitors. 

Pat Sanchez and Kaycee Isley had the lone hits for Lehman.

The Bloodhounds added two more runs in the top of the second. Bankston reached on an error. Fajardo singled to left center. Two batters later, Sauers delivered an RBI single to right that made it 3-0. 

Sandel continued to be a thorn against the Lightning, as she reached on a fielding error by the center fielder that scored Fajardo, making it 4-0. 

Ogden allowed a double to Isley before walking Espina. Isley was caught stealing before Ogden struck out the final two batters to end the second. 

John Jay sparked an eighth-run top of the third in building a 12-0 advantage. Cadolino started the inning with a double to left. Bankston singled to center that moved Cadolino to third. 
The next batter, Fajardo, doubled to left, plating two more scores, upping the lead to 6-0. Rodrigues singled to left to bring the total to 7-0. 

Rodrigues came around to score on a wild pitch. Sauers walked and two straight hits by Sandel and Santiago loaded the bases for Cadolino. Down in the count 0-2, Cadolino clubbed a three-run home run that extended the advantage to 12-0. 

The Bloodhounds added four more scores in the top of the fourth. Cartagena replaced Rodrigues and with the base loaded, was hit by a pitch that brought in Bankston. 

Sauers reached on a fielder's choice that scored Fajardo. Santiago ripped a single to center that made it 15-0 before Zoe Lowe reached on an error by the shortstop, plating Sauers for the final run of the contest.
