CLERMONT, Fla. -- The College of Wooster softball team won three of its last four games to finish The Spring Games at 6-6, which included a 9-5 win in 10 innings against No. 15 SUNY Geneseo.

Senior Morgan Bailey gave the Scots an early lead in the second with a single through the left side with the bases loaded. Geneseo tied the game in the fifth as the game went to extra innings at 1-1.

With the international tiebreaker rule in effect, Wooster put up three runs in the ninth. They broke the 2-1 tie on an error as first-year Stacey Harris scored.

Senior Kendall Lloyd, who finished the game 3-for-5, then doubled to bring home another run and later came home when Olivia Johnson singled to left field.

Geneseo answered to push it to the 10th inning, but once again Wooster's struck back – this time with five runs.

Junior Emmalee Cooke hit a 2-run single with the bases loaded. Later in the inning, senior Marina Roski doubled to center field with the bases loaded as all three runs came around to score.

Roski's three RBI gave her 84 for her career, tying the school record.

Geneseo got one unearned run back in the bottom of the 10th, as Marissa Norgrove pitched the final inning.

Johnson got the start for the Scots on the mound. She went nine innings, struck out five and allowed just three earned runs.

The Scots also saw North Coast Athletic Conference rival Wittenberg University during the trip as they took a 4-2 win. Johnson went the distance on the mound as the two runs she gave up were both unearned.  She struck out nine batters.

Johnson also gave Wooster its first run of the game with an RBI single in the first. Grace Randall hit a two-run home run in the fifth, and Katie Agatucci scored Harris on a sacrifice fly.

For the entire spring break trip, Johnson pitched 44 innings to a 4-3 record and a 1.75 ERA. She also hit for a .333 average at the plate.

The senior Lloyd hit for the highest average with a slash line of .405/.450/.514. Johnson, Randall and Heidi Likins each hit a home run.
