B-G lady Bobcats win 28th annual SFCU softball tournament
Bainbridge-Guilford Softball defeats Walton 17-1 on Friday
WALTON – Following a big 17-1 win over the Walton Warriors on Friday, Bainbridge-Guilford softball simply used this crushing of the Warriors as a springboard for bigger plans come Saturday.
During the Friday game, B-G’s Megan Palmatier catapulted herself into the limelight with a game consisting of a home run, a triple, and two base hits.
Megan Palmatier had a huge night at the plate,” said Bainbridge-Guilford head coach Randy Palmatier.
The Bobcats were on a different plane of play on Friday, pulling in seven runs in just the first inning – and successfully scoring in each inning, as well.
B-G pitchers – Alli Miller and Morgan Swartwout – combined for just four walks and seven strikeouts and three hits – while Wiggins and Crandall of Walton allowed 16 hits with just five strikeouts and six walks.
A recipe for disaster if you are the Warriors.
B-G was scheduled to host the SFCU Credit Union tournament the next day, however, it was moved to Sidney due to the rain.

Lady Bobcats win the 28th annual SFCU Softball tournament
SINDEY – Round one: Four teams, a full day of bitter-cold weather and a full slate of softball. That is what awaited Sherburne-Earlville, Bainbridge-Guilford, Sidney and Harpursville on Saturday, April 22.
The 28th annual SFCU softball tournament crown was claimed by the powerful lady Bobcats of Bainbridge-Guilford – who downed Harpursville and Sidney en route to the tournament win.
Taking a loss in the first round was Sherburne-Earlville, who looked poised to make a championship run in the early goings of the game with Sidney.
“We had it in the bag until Brooke Hailston took a line drive to the face. It killed my team emotionally and mentally,” said Sherburne-Earlville’s head coach Michelle Parker. “We could not recover. And with it being so cold going from game one to the next we could not find the groove again.”
S-E saw the loss go to Anna Rinaldo, before Brooke Hailston was called upon and then Madison Gunther following the game-changing injury.
S-E would trail 4-3 after three innings, taking the lead at 5-4 in the fifth inning. However, an atrocious end to the game – allowing five runs in the seventh inning – tossed S-E to the consolation game with Harpursville.
S: 1 0 3 0 0 0 5– 9
SE: 0 0 3 0 2 1 1– 7
SIDNEY – Consolation game: Harpursville managed to take third in the tournament, defeating a hurting Sherburne-Earlville in the consolation game at 11-6.
S-E never would recover from the heartbreaking loss in the first round, however, pulled the consolation game within one point in the third inning at 3-2. Another late game collapse secured S-E’s fate of pulling up last place in the tournament.
Taking the loss on the mound for S-E was Madison Gunther (Five innings, 1-4 and 7), before Dalaney Parker came in for the fifth and sixth innings.
Next up for Sherburne-Earlville, they will be home against Waterville on Monday, April 24, at 4:30 p.m.

SIDNEY – Round one: Fate would prove much different for the now 10-1 Bainbridge-Guilford lady Bobcats.
The Bobcats would not surrender a single point in their dominating run to the 2017 tournament championship.
Earning a trip to the finals – against Sidney – Bainbridge-Guilford first had to go through Harpursville, a task which was easily handled when B-G won 7-0.
Jumping out to a solid 3-0 lead after just two innings, the lady Bobcat bats would go silent – that is until they awoke in the fifth, sending one home with three additional in the sixth.
Of their 26 at-bat’s ten would emerge a hit, as the Bobcats sluggers simply rained down upon the Hornets.
Taking the win in the first game for B-G was Alli Miller, who pitched out a complete game resulting in only five hits, six strikeouts and just two walks.

Kori Thornton took the championship win from the mound, pitching the entire five innings of play – snagging a massive 10 strikeouts and just one walk.

Notably, Palmatier was named tournament MVP.
