BINGHAMTON – Four runs over the final two innings sealed the deal for the Bainbridge-Guilford Bobcats softball team, as they beat the Warriors of Chenango Valley 11-10 for their first win of the spring 2017 season.
Over the first four innings of play, the Warriors swept the bases scoring nine of their 10 runs in the early innings. Meanwhile, the Bobcat offense showed shades of power and efficiency, rallying for seven runs of their own in the same time span.
It wasn’t until the latter half of the ballgame, that B-G dug deep and held their own on the road.
Down 10-7 in the top of the sixth inning, B-G’s Alli Miller worked a walk with one out, only to cross the plate on Kori Thornton’s RBI double.
Determined to not leave her teammate stranded on base, Megan Palmatier’s two out double scored Thornton, to tie the game at nine runs apiece.
Kori Thornton, sandwiched another scoreless inning in the bottom half of the sixth, to bring the game to its eleventh hour. And B-G capitalized.
In the top of the seventh, Ashley Matthews doubled with two outs in the final inning. Matthews promptly stole third base and Olivia Garror was hit by a pitch to put runners on the corners. Alli Miller delivered in the clutch with a two RBI single – scoring both Matthews and Garror to give the Bobcats a late inning lead.
Thornton went back to work in the bottom of the seventh, despite giving up one run in the final frame, Thornton earned the win for the Bobcats in their first game of the season.
“Both teams hit the ball pretty well,” said B-G head coach Randy Palmatier. “Kori Thornton was really the difference for us, she scored four runs and had three hits with two doubles.”
The Bobcats (1-0 overall) return to the diamond on Monday, April 3, at 4:15 p.m. when they travel to play in the Mudville tournament.
