CLERMONT, Fla. – The Trinity College softball team lost to Luther College, 8-5 but defeated SUNY Cobleskill, 7-5 on Monday during the team's second day of Spring games in the Sunshine State this week. The Bantams split puts them at 3-1 while Luther improves to 8-4 and SUNY Cobleskill (0-3) was dealt its second loss. Trinity resumes action tomorrow at 9 a.m. against Lawrence University followed by an 11:15 matchup with the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. 
 
The Bantams scored the first run of the day against Luther on an Alex Chambers (East Lyme, Conn.) sacrifice fly to right field that scored first-year Taylor Mikolajczak (John's Creek, Ga.) but trailed 7-2 after five and a half innings. In the Bottom of the sixth, Trinity added three unearned runs to bring the score within two runs but failed to generate any scoring in the final frame. 
 
Game two saw the Blue and Gold again scoring in the first, as the Bantams tallied three runs thanks to an RBI double from sophomore Gianna Tito (East Hanover, N.J.) to bring in Mikolajczak and Tito later scoring on an error by the third baseman. Chambers then recorded her second RBI of the day, driving in first-year Erin Steed (Orland Park, Ill.). Heading into the top of the sixth, the score was knotted at five runs apiece when senior Maura Keary (Fairfield, Conn.) gave the Bantams a one-run lead on an RBI single to score classmate Dominique Boulduc (Laconia, N.H.). Cobleskill then left two runners in scoring position stranded in the bottom of the sixth before Trinity extended its lead to two as Chambers scored on an error by the right fielder. 
 
Tito went three-for-seven through the two games while Chambers and junior Alyssa Gazivoda (Poughquag, N.Y.) each tallied a pair of RBIs. Sophomore Tiffany Stowers picked up the win during game two for the Bantams while senior Jordan Stephan (South Orange, N.J.) and sophomore Erin Girard (Bristol, Conn.) combined for nine strikeouts and let up just one earned run.
