NORWICH – Norwich varisty baseball edges Chenango Valley in extra innings to earn first win of the season at 4-3.

“All of a sudden at the end it felt like everyone was screaming, and it felt like the atmosphere I always wanted Norwich baseball to be, everyone was in it,” said Norwich head Coach Rich Turnbull.

After jumping up early on the Warriors at 2-1 in the first inning, Norwich gave up two innings of single runs a piece to the Warriors as they took the lead going into the fourth inning.

Down one point entering the fifth, It was Norwich's Jake Walsh who knocked a nice bomb to the gap in right center field to round the bases to third for the Tornado. What happened next, Turnbull attested was something he had never seen before.

The CV pitcher actually pegged John Predmore, Gabe Gogani, and Nick Murphy with the ball, essentially loading the bases and sending Walsh home for the tying run.

“I felt like this was going to be another typical game, but we were playing so good and I just wanted to keep it going,” said Turnbull.
