In the two games played, Rometo batted .692 (9-for-13) with a 1.000 slugging percentage, totaling nine runs, nine hits, seven RBI, four doubles, a walk, five stolen baes and a hit by pitch with no strikeouts. Rometo also registered her 100 th career hit on a bases clearing two-RBI double in game two, which gave her team a 5-1 lead in the second that pushed SUNY New Paltz to the comfortable victory.
