Owego Softball defeats Norwich 3-1 on Friday (away)

OWEGO – The Norwich varsity softball team started what would be a three game skid for weekend games – with their loss to the Owego Indians at 3-1.

Norwich traveled to Owego on Friday, April 28, in the hopes of putting together a solid outing – what came forward in the results was a loss, but a loss in which Norwich head coach Jim Sanford exclaimed his happiness with the way his team played.

“We played a great game. My girls had a ton of energy, the team played great. Best game we played all year,” said coach Sanford.

Recording the loss for Norwich was pitcher Alex Colley, who pitched six innings – striking out five batters and walking four.

Norwich was unable to add a run to the score until the sixth inning when Morgan Conkling found her way home for the run. The team finished with an impressive nine hits in the game, being led by Conkling and Kait Dowdall – each of who finished 2-4 at the plate.

Owego powered in three runs in the bottom of the sixth, essentially capping off what was a five-inning stalemated game, up until that point.

Taking the win for the Indians was Taylor Aubel, Aubel pitched all seven innings, striking out six and allowing no walks.
