NORWICH – In a non-league game against Sidney last Saturday, Apr. 23, the Purple Tornado varsity baseball team suffered yet another loss, on a score line of 13-3.

The game was tightly contested until the middle innings, when Norwich began to lose its grasp on proceedings. Matters came to a climax in the fifth inning, where errors cost the Tornado dearly. “We almost got out of the fifth inning with no runs scored, but we made a two out error. They (Sidney) capitalized on it big time. It extended the inning and then we just couldn’t get out of it,” said Norwich head coach Rich Turnbull.

This seems to be a constant problem for Norwich in recent weeks, who will start well, but consistent errors have proven to be their downfall. “The last couple of weeks we’ve been making silly errors that have been killing us. We’ve been hitting the ball better than we have in the past, but these errors are definitely not helping,” said Turnbull.
