Broome split both games of their doubleheader against SUNY Adirondack on Saturday afternoon in Queensbury, taking the opener 11-10, and falling in game two 13-12. Both games took extra innings to decide the outcome. The Hornets trailed 9-8 after six innings of play before scoring 2 runs on back-to-back singles from Courtney George and Madison Lapinski, followed by a two-out single from Keyairra Woolfolk in the top of the seventh for the 10-9 lead. The Timberwolves plated a run in the bottom of the seventh to tie it up at 10-10. Pursuant to the International Tie Breaker rule, Broome started the inning with McKenna Wheaton on second base where she advanced to third on Laurel Pernesky-Currier's fly out to right field and scored on a single, coutesy of Taylor Voorhis. Adirondack couldn't answer the run by Broome in the bottom of the inning. Five Broome players had a multi-hit game led by Woolfolk, Lapinski and Pernesky-Currier with three hits apiece.
