Rock Hill, S.C. – Sophomore right-hander Leah McIntosh tossed a complete game to lead UAlbany to a 2-1 win over Ohio in eight innings on the final day of the Winthrop/adidas Invitational on Sunday, March 16.

UAlbany (6-3) tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the third inning. Sophomore Nicole Kothe knocked a single to reach base, and advanced to second and third on consecutive passed balls by Ohio catcher Jordan Paden. Bailey Van Deest drove Kothe in with a single of her own to knot the score.

The game remained tied until the bottom of the eighth inning, when Gina Mason, who started the frame on second base due to the international tie-break rule, was driven home on a sacrifice fly by senior Leanne Tillman.

McIntosh earned all-tournament team accolades for her performance over the weekend. The Great Danes will return to action on Friday, March 21 at the Georgia Spring Fling.
