Chenango Forks softball defeats Norwich 8-0

“We don't swing the bat enough,” said Norwich head coach Jim Sanford.

Bainbridge-Guilford Softball defeats Harpursville 12-3
BAINBRIDGE – The Bainbridge-Guilford softball team continues to climb over teams, adding their latest win over the Hornets, blowing out Harpursville 12-3.
“I wasn't happy with our play tonight. I felt we were a little flat and not real focused,” said Bainbridge-Guilford head coach Randy Palmatier.
Despite the lack in effort, per coach Palmatier, the lady Bobcats are just that good. They still managed to crush the Hornets scoring at least a run in every inning except one.
Three errors on the B-G defense is expected when lack-luster play is in effect. However, despite one bad inning – third inning Harpursville scored all three runs – B-G was able to shut down the Hornets, who only managed four hits.
Taking the win on the mound for the B-G ladies was Alli Miller, earning 12 strikeouts in her seven innings pitched, allowing just one walk in the process. It was a near opposite performance from Harpursville's pitcher – Harley Bunker – who stole just one strikeout with no walks, but allowed 14 hits and 12 runs.
Once again having fantastic days at the plate for B-G, Bree Barber ended 3-4 with an RBI and two runs, while Kori Thornton, Megan Palmatier, Kassidy Davy, and Ashley Matthews each finished with two hits each.
Next up for the Bainbridge-Guilford girls (6-1 overall), they will be traveling to Walton at 4:30 p.m. On Friday, April 21, before they return home on Saturday, April 22, for their home SFCU tournament.

19 hits, Oxford softball – in recent year's a struggling program – strung together 19 hits off of Walton pitcher Kylee Wiggins. Wiggins proved to be no chump while on the mound, striking out 12 batters in her 5.2 innings pitched, and walking six.
While Oxford wouldn't enjoy as many strikeouts from their pitchers who combined for seven strikeouts – Allison Beckwith three strikeouts, and Karly Marshman four strikeouts one walk – it was Marshman who would be credited with the win.
Oxford saw four players – Trinity Vargas, Karly Marshman, Kylie Roys, and Rachel Tefft – each record two hits. Layla Kriz finished the day going 3-4 with an RBI and two runs, Marshman would finish 4-5 with three runs and three RBI's, while Beckwith tossed in going 4-4 with three runs and one RBI.
