Tornado baseball earns first win on the season after going to extra innings
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.
Nick Murphy who ended the evening going going 0-3 at the bat actually earned a RBI on the night by a hit by pitch.
“I felt like for the first time, we had the luck. I just said to them go out there and play baseball,” said Turnbull.
The regular innings concluded with both Norwich and CV unable to earn a run as the game would go to extra innings tied up at 3-3.
The eighth inning saw Predmore earn a single, followed by Gogani who sacrificed himself to advance Predmore to second.
“John (Predmore) tagged up and the made it to third next, then their coach then did a real nice job, and walked the next two guys so it was a force out at every plate for them,” said Turnbull. “We were at 2-2 with bases loaded, the crowd was so loud and the guys were so into it. And the pitcher threw the ball away, so we scored on a passed ball.”
Luck was in Norwich's corner for the win, as they played solid defense throughout but struggled some at the plate only earning six runs on the night going to: Jake Walsh, John Predmore, Gabe Gogani, Paden Burlinson, Chris Jeffery, and Garrett Thornton.
“They had the will to win and it was really nice we had a lot of energy and tomorrow we have a day off to regroup,” said Turnbull.
John Predmore earned the win at pitching for the Tornado, who also saw Dylan Mack pitch on the night.
Up next for Norwich after the much needed day of practice today, is Chenango Forks away on Wednesday April 20.
“I think we can play with anybody, as long as we play solid and catch some breaks and that is what happened tonight,” said Turnbull.
