Warriors topple Trojans on senior night

GREENE – This past Saturday, May 7, The Greene varsity softball squad hosted their senior day game against Sidney, ultimately losing 14-0.
The senior night game was originally scheduled for Friday but due to weather it had to be rescheduled for Saturday, forcing Greene to ultimately cancel their home tournament that was scheduled to take place the same Saturday.
“The players, fans, and myself were actually looking forward to the day but instead we had to refocus on the league game,” said Greene head coach Rick Condon.
Greene celebrated their seven graduating seniors prior to start of the game against Sidney. The seven seniors recognized were: Sydney Bennett, Lydia Howard, Alex Thompson, Kathleen Hanrahan, Jenna Harrington, Brittany Johns, and Abbey Sands.
“I have seven seniors on the team and each one of them any coach would love to have on their team. They each contribute their own unique styles and make the squad a well rounded team,” said Condon. “They will be missed and working with them this season was a treat. I'm certain they will do great things in their future.”
Despite the celebration, Greene did not enjoy the success they wished to see on the field. Sidney would jump out to an early 4-0 lead in the first inning, followed by another four run inning in the second inning.
Our bats weren't working and they hit the ball well. Our bats were not awake even for a noon time start so, now we prepare ourselves for sectionals,” said an optimistic Condon.
Sidney would manage a crippling 23-hits on the day to just 42 at bats.
On the Greene side, they would earn three hits in the contest with McKenna Sergi going 1-2, Sydney Bennett go go 1-3, and Maddie Brink go 1-3.
Greene played solid ball throughout just couldn’t manage to string together their hits off of Sidney's stellar pitching.
Sidney saw their pitcher, Decker, throw the entire seven innings striking out 10 Trojan batters.
On the mound for Greene was Alex Thompson for the first four innings, before Lydia Howard came in for relief for the final three innings.
“We play in the MAC tournament Monday and Tuesday and are hosting a tournament up in Herkimer at Mudville next weekend,” explained Condon. “We will be working and focusing for sectionals. The actual league season may be over, and sectionals is right around the corner, but the work in creating a competitive program never ends.”
Greene (8-5) will be facing off against Harpursville in the first game of the MAC Tournament at home later on today, Monday, May 9, at 4:30 p.m.
