Johnson City sweeps the Norwich Purple Tornado
JOHNSON CITY – A trip down Route 12 for the Norwich varsity baseball and softball team’s did not go as planned – as both Tornado teams suffered road losses.
Norwich baseball leaves 10 on base, succumbs to JC bats
The struggling Norwich Purple Tornado baseball team took a chance on a road game against the Johnson City Wildcats on Monday, April 17.
“We played better tonight, we just need to string some hits together,” said Norwich head coach Rich Turnbull.
The biggest thing that sticks out in the 7-1 loss for Norwich is their 10 runners left on base. That is a potential of 10 additional runs scored that Norwich failed to take advantage of.
“We need to capitalize when guys are on base, can’t leave 10 guys on and expect to win,” said coach Turnbull.
The Wildcats of JC pounced on Norwich early and often – jumping out to a solid 3-0 lead after just the first inning.
Despite the early 3-0 hole, Turnbull saw his ball-players battle for their lone run in the second inning when Dylan Mack smacked a pitch for a base hit, however, snagging the RBI in the process when JT Vinal made it home. Johnson City continued to pour on the runs early with two additional runs in the second inning, making it a 5-1 game heading into the third.
That is when JC effectively shut down the Norwich offense. With 10 runners left on base, Norwich failed to send another runner home – resulting in the 7-1 loss, as JC grabbed their two comfort runs in the fourth inning to cap off the win.
Pitching for the Wildcats was not necessarily a strong-point, as Sam Shattuck pitched six innings only snagging one strikeout, with four walks and allowing all six Tornado hits. Although Shattuck took the win for JC, Dylan Richards came in in relief in the seventh inning and recorded three strikeouts to finish out the game.
Norwich saw Dylan Mack take the loss on the mound, pitching three and third innings to the tune of two strikeouts, one walk – however, allowing 10 of JC’s 12 total hits in the process. Mike Trevisani came in for Mack, pitching two and two third innings, snagging one more strikeout, with no walks and two hits.
Norwich would see JT Vinal finish the game 2-4 with a run, while Dashawn King, Eli Rodriguez, Brandon Barnes, and Dylan Mack each grabbed a hit a piece while at the plate – with Mack recording the only RBI.
Next up for Norwich (0-5 overall), they will be returning the Binghamton area on Tuesday, April 18, when they travel to Chenango Valley for a game scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

JC Softball shuts out Norwich with no-hitter from Mackenzie Carlin
The Norwich varsity softball team has found themselves in quite the slump after just five games into the 2017 season.
Most recently they took a thumping, when the lady Wildcats ripped into the Tornado to the tune of a 23-0 loss, where star pitcher Mackenzie Carlin tossed a no-hitter.
23-0, the runs kept pouring in against the young Norwich team. Down only 2-0 after the first inning, all was not lost for Norwich – just yet.
Carlin secured a solid day at the mound, striking out six and only allowing one walk in the process.
Then the lady Wildcats truly struck, and when they struck they sunk their claws into Norwich, bleeding them for all they could. Johnson City recorded a massive 11 runs in the second inning – coming off of a mere three hits.
Following the second inning, another six runs came in for the Wildcats in the third, before they finished off the Tornado with four runs off of three hits in the fourth – the game was called due to the mercy rule.
Johnson City outhit the Norwich ladies 12-0 in the game, with Katrina Fox and Natalie Novak each grabbing three hits a piece – while Alex Hein made it home four times in the game.
Next up for Norwich softball (0-5 overall), they will head to Chenango Valley on Tuesday, April 18, for a game scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
