The nationally-ranked Onondaga Community College softball team was unable to hold the Monroe Community College Tribunes off the board on Friday as the No. 8 Lazers fell in both games of a Region III doubleheader in Rochester.

With the losses, Onondaga drops to 19-11, while Monroe improves its season standings to 15-17.

Game One: Onondaga 4, Monroe 8

Monroe jumped out to an early lead in the bottom of the first inning after plating four runs on four hits and what turned out to be a two-run error by the Lazers.

Onondaga would halve the deficit in the top of the third when Elizabeth Riegler blasted a two-run homerun that scored Morgan Neadom who had drawn a walk after an eight-pitch at-bat.

The Tribunes answered in the fourth with two more runs before the Lazers would score their third run on a fielder's choice in the top of the fifth.

Monroe would extend its advantage to five runs in the home half of the sixth inning, 8-3, on four hits and would go on to earn the win.

 Elizabeth Jackson was on the losing end after throwing six innings and allowing eight runs (six earned) on 14 hits.  The freshman hurler struck out five and moved to 7-6 on the year.

Game Two: Onondaga 4, Monroe 10

The Tribunes would score all ten of their runs in the first four innings as Onondaga would be unable to generate anything with their bats.

Onondaga scored four runs on eight hits with all four runs being plated on RBI-doubles from Whitney Smith, Caitlin Wormuth, and Neadom.

Brittney Sears (9-4) pitched to a loss after going five innings and allowing 10 runs on six hits and six walks.

The Lazers will look to turn things around at 3 p.m. on Saturday when they host Finger Lakes Community College at the Softball Complex.
