Softball Recap: Rochester Picks Up Fifth Straight Win at Home

Rochester had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 21-run drubbing they dealt Triton on Tuesday. The Zebras' pitchers stepped up to hand the Trojans a 21-0 shutout. The victory continues a trend for the Zebras in their matchups with the Trojans: they've now won seven in a row.

Bria Rensberger and Mia Howdeshell made a big impact no matter where they played. On the mound, Rensberger tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Howdeshell pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. At the plate, Rensberger went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs, while Howdeshell scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. That's the most hits Howdeshell has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, Aubrey Wilson was a standout: she scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3. What's more, she posted three RBI, the most she's had since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Lillee Conley, who scored four runs while going 2-for-3.
