Norwich Baseball defeats Owego 7-5 on Friday (away)

OWEGO – Norwich’s struggles of late seemed to be answered on Friday, April 28, as they came away from a road game against the Owego Indians with a 7-5 win.

Norwich had recently been struggling in multiple facets of the game, always being on the wrong side of the breaks in games – however, on Friday, their hard work paid off with a win coming from a combination of walks, and errors.

Playing with multiple errors in the beginning of the game, Norwich found themselves down 1-0 heading into the fifth inning.

After heating up some – Norwich and Owego each scored one run – the game moved to the sixth inning. And when better to score six runs, than the sixth inning.

Norwich used some opportunistic running, coupled with some long-awaited luck to rack up six runs.

We made mistakes, I was really frustrated at the beginning of the game. Some errors really hurt us, and Marcus was pitching so well,” said Norwich head coach Rich Turnbull. “It was the first time we batted around all year. We capitalized on their mistakes.”

Mike Trevisani was hit by pitch and advanced off a single from Dylan Mack – followed by a walk. Egan Parmalee came in as a pinch runner for Mack. Another hit by pitch sent Trevisani in for the run – this started the bleeding for Owego.
