On the day, Afton rapped a season-best 17 hits against three G-MU pitchers. “Our bats definitely came alive, and we were stinging the ball all over,” said Afton coach Ron Rapp, whose club improved its record to 9-8. “We haven’t had a day like this all season. We were definitely in for a breakout game.”

Mike Muller pitched five innings giving up three runs for the victory.

Alex Schmidt and Brendan Zucchi had two hits apiece for G-MU, who have dropped three straight games.

Owego 15, Norwich 0 (5 innings)

OWEGO – Owego handed Norwich its most lopsided loss this season as Emily Warfle pitched a no-hitter striking out eight and walking two on Monday.

The Indians’ bats banged out 15 hits, and the host club started the contest with a half-dozen runs in the first and second innings. “They came right out of the gates and hit the ball well,” said Norwich coach Dennis Eaton. “No excuses, they played well and their defense made the plays. We ran into a better team today.”

Alanna Jenkins was 3-for-4 with two runs to pace Owego, and Kate Silvanic was 3-for-3.

Norwich hosts Sidney on Thursday.
