Norwich Baseball drops two home games – 15-0 to Susquehanna Valley, 6-0 to Oneonta

NORWICH – With the chill in the air and a the rain holding off long enough to get a game of baseball in, the Norwich varsity baseball team took the field on Tuesday, April 25, for a 15-0 beating from the Sabers of Susquehanna Valley.

They were pounding the ball. We looked bad at the plate, we had no plan at the plate,” said Norwich head coach Rich Turnbull. “We didn’t handle some calls that didn’t go our way, and we just didn’t handle the adversity very well. Their kid was thriving off of that. As we were complaining, their pitcher was throwing strikes.”

Norwich managed just three hits in the entire Tuesday game – JT Vinal, Dylan Mack and Brandon Barnes – while SV’s Huffman sniped a solid 11 strikeouts and just one walk in his six innings on the mound.

Norwich surrendered a big inning of scoring to the Sabers in just the second inning – SV jumped from a 1-0 lead after the first to a 7-0 lead – Norwich couldn’t find their footing.

SV slammed the Norwich pitchers all game long, recording 19 hits en route to their crushing 15-0 win over the Purple Tornado.

Norwich was afforded no time to rest, as the team returned to the field the very next day for a home game against the Oneonta Yellowjackets.
