CLERMONT, Fla.—The Babson College softball team let a late lead slip away in its opening game of the day and suffered a 6-3 loss to Hamilton College before bouncing back with a 13-7 victory over SUNY Geneseo to wrap up day two of its spring break trip on Sunday. 

The Beavers, who snapped a five-game skid with their win over Geneseo, is now 2-7 overall on the year. 

Hamilton 6, Babson 3
First-year Charlotte Raymond (Wrentham, Mass.) went 2-for-3 with two RBI, classmate Emily Walsh (Flemington, N.J.) singled twice and drove in a run and junior Athena Hadjipanayis (Rye, N.Y.) went 2-for-2 with a walk and a run scored to pace the Beavers' offense. Graduate student Cassidy Musco (Walpole, Mass.) singled and added two stolen bases, while first-year Katie Vlacich (Concord, N.H.) suffered the loss to drop to 1-3 after giving up five runs in 6.0 innings. 

Junior Emma Tansky (Collegeville, Pa.) went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and sophomore Alexis Mayer (Woodcliff Lake, N.J.) finished 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored for the Continentals, who finished with 13 hits. First-year Aubrey Purvis (San Diego, Calif.) picked up her first win of the season after giving up one run in two innings of relief, while junior Teagan Graham (Utopia, Ontario) worked around a walk in the seventh to earn her first save. 

The Green and White held three separate one-run leads over the first five innings and was up 3-2 after Raymond was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to bring home Walsh in the bottom of the fifth. Hamilton stranded a pair of runners in scoring position in the top of the sixth before rallying for four runs in the seventh to go in front for good. 

Mayer tied the game with an RBI triple to right and then scored the go-ahead run on first-year Gaby Guerra's (Los Altos, Calif.) single up the middle two batters later. Sophomore Alison Zorn (San Diego, Calif.) worked a bases loaded walk to make it 5-3 and senior Alessandra Priante (Brooklyn, N.Y.) tacked on another insurance run with a one-out RBI single to right. 

Babson 13, Geneseo 7
Musco went 3-for-5 with two RBI and Hadjipanayis finished 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored to lead Babson's 14-hit attack. Raymond and graduate student Kate Karamouzis (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) both knocked in two runs and junior Sara Moore (Kennett Square, Pa.) went 2-for-4 with an RBI and three runs scored in the win. 

Senior Rebecca Schwartz (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) went 2-for-5 with two RBI, while junior Tara Brochu (Hampton Bays, N.Y.) and sophomore Mikayla Bucci (Binghamton, N.Y.) each drove in a pair of runs for the Knights, who finished with 10 hits in the loss. 

The Green and White went in front 2-0 thanks to RBI doubles by first-year Ruby Madia (Princeton Junction, N.J.) and Karamouzis in the top of the first and then took advantage of a pair of bases-loaded walks to build a 5-1 advantage in the second. Babson continued its onslaught in the fifth as Moore and Musco followed an RBI double by graduate student Michaela Russell (Boston, Mass.) with back-to-back RBI singles to stretch its lead to 8-3. 

Geneseo got two-run singles from Brochu and Bucci to pull within 8-7 in the last of the fifth before the Beavers responded with five runs over the final two innings. Hadjipanayis made it 9-7 with a sacrifice fly in the sixth and Raymond capped a four-run seventh with a two-out, two-run single to center to make it a six-run game. 

Vlacich came on in relief of first-year Nicole Petrillo (Brooklyn, N.Y.) in the fourth innings and gave up just one earned run over the final four frames to earn the win and improve to 2-3 on the year. Bucci (0-1) shouldered the loss for Geneseo after four different pitchers combined to issue seven walks in addition to giving up 13 hits. 

Babson returns to action on Monday when it faces Plymouth State at 9 a.m. and Gettysburg at 11:30 a.m. in Clermont.
