Brooklyn, NY --- The Brooklyn College Softball team split a doubleheader against regional rival Farmingdale State College this afternoon, as the Bulldogs took the opener by a score of 5-4, while the Rams took the nightcap 11-0.

BC moves to an even 5-5 overall on the season, while Farmingdale goes to 9-5 overall on the year.

Brooklyn answer quickly in their half of the fourth, as Stephanie Caravello scored on a wild pitch to cut the Bulldogs deficit to 2-1.

The Rams would add another run in the fifth on a sacrifice fly from Hillary Genova that brought home Amanda Maass.

Maria Mantagas would keep Brooklyn in the game, as her RBI single in the bottom of the fifth scored Meagan Cranston to make it 3-2 in favor of Farmingdale.

A Maass RBI single in the top of the sixth would later give the Rams a 4-2 lead; however, the Bulldogs would counter with a two-run sixth inning to tie the game at 4-4, on a pair of RBI singles from Kim Konklowski and Cranston.

After shutting down the Rams in the top of the seventh, BC entered their half of the inning with a chance to win the game in regulation.
