NEW BERLIN – The Unadilla Valley varsity softball team hosted the girls from Delaware Academy in the first round of the MAC mini tournament, earning the win at 10-6.
The first round of the MAC tournament, also saw UV celebrate their six graduating seniors after the games completion: Jackie Smith, Alex Bodie, Shania Crandall, Kaleigh Fairchild, Blaize Kolvik, and Lauren Lloyd.
Delhi would ultimately jump out on top of UV at 2-0 in the first inning, due to some sloppy infield errors on UV's part.
“We struggled as a team in the first 3 innings to convert on easy defensive plays,” said UV head coach Hannah Johnson.
Unadilla Valley would recover somewhat in the third when they strung together some solid hits and even better base running to earn two runs in their favor. Delhi would answer with a run of their own in that inning, drawing the score to 3-2.
“Down 6-3 going into the bottom of the fifth, we knew we needed to score some runs,” said Johnson in regards to the three runs Delhi posted in the top of the fifth.
UV answered the call on senior night when they strung together a three-run inning in the bottom of the fifth, drawing the gap to one-run at 6-5.
