PHILADELPHIA – The Thomas Jefferson University softball team dropped a pair of CACC games to Dominican (N.Y.) on Tuesday afternoon. The Rams have a 3-3 record.
 
GAME ONE – L, 6-2
The Chargers pushed an unearned run across in the first inning on a RBI double. Jefferson evened the score in third when Emily Akelaitis drove in Ali Murphy with a single up the middle. Dominican took over with a five-run fifth, all of them unearned. The Rams had two runners on with one out in the bottom of the frame but could not score. A leadoff walk in the sixth could not spark a Jefferson rally and the Rams tallied their final run on a wild pitch in the seventh.
