NEW BERLIN – The lady Storm of Unadilla Valley played their final varsity softball game of the 2017 season, and what better way to finish out the year, than a 10-5 win at home over the Delhi Bulldogs.

Prior to the start of the game, Unadilla Valley celebrated their six graduating seniors: Abbie Oglesby, Tessa Huffine, Alysa Mumbulo, Megan Winton, Sara Nogaret, and Tia Peck.

What happened next was simply a team that had gelled, a team that wanted to win, and a team that finished off their 2017 campaign on top.

Knocking in four runs in just the first inning, the UV bats were on fire throughout the contest. The lady Storm racked up their 10 runs off of 13 hits – while the defensive effort was solid, committing only one error to Delhi’s three.

“We played very well tonight both offensively and defensively. We got the bats going early, which helped build our confidence early in the game,” said Unadilla Valley head coach Hannah Johnson.

Taking the win on the mound was senior Tia Peck. Peck pitched the entire seven innings of the game, striking out seven Bulldog batters and walking six.
