TROY, NY – Morgan Dunn (Cohoes, NY/Cohoes) went 6-8 with three home runs and 11 RBI's as Sage swept Yeshiva 15-2 (five innings) and 23-3 (five innings) in Skyline action Tuesday afternoon to extend their win streak to 13 games.
In game one, Dunn got the Gators up to an early 3-0 lead when she went yard over the left field fence in the bottom of the first.

In the bottom of the third, Dunn and Silk scored off Silk and Brace RBI's to put the Gators up 13-0. Sage tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the second when Dunn went yard for a second time over the left field fence.
In the top of the fifth, Yeshiva (5-22, 2-16 Skyline) plated a pair of runs from Erin Potasnick and Shoshana Rozenberg off a Sage error, but it wouldn't be enough as Sage won 15-2 in five innings.
Brace (9-4) threw her first no-hitter of the season on a complete game, eight strikeout effort. Rachel Mirsky picked up the loss for Yeshiva.
The Gators took game two 23-3. Yeshiva got off to a 2-0 in the top of the first when Mirsky homered over the left field fence, but the rest of the game was all Sage from there.
