After several days of perfect softball weather in Ithaca, thunder became a factor in the Red’s doubleheader with Ithaca College yesterday by delaying Game 2 in the middle of the fifth inning. Despite the interruption, Cornell improved to 37-7 with a 6-0 victory in Game 1, followed by an 8-0 win in a no-hitter from freshman Ali Tomlinson.
The Red extended its winning streak to 20 with back-to-back shutouts over the Ithaca Bombers (26-8, 12-0 Empire 8), who had their seven-game winning streak snapped by their cross-town Division I rivals. The Red is currently tied with Princeton — which the Red will face this weekend — at 15-1 atop the Ivy League.
