Norwich 12, Chenango Forks 4

NORWICH – Norwich extended its unbeaten streak to five games taking command of Thursday’s game against Chenango Forks in the third inning.

The Tornado (4-1-1) scored five times in the third to grab a 6-2 lead, then tacked on a pair of three-run frames over the next two innings. “It was cold out today, but our bats were warm,” said Norwich coach John Martison. “We played relaxed and confident. This was a good league win.”

Nick McCullough and Brendan McInerney, the one and two hitters for Norwich, consistently reached base with each drawing a pair of walks. Number three hitter, Colby Griffin, finished 3-for-4 with three RBI and three runs scored. Cleanup hitter, Mackay Hotaling, was a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI and three runs scored. “We had guys on base all game and we were hitting hit hard,” Martinson said. “Our top two guys in the lineup were getting on base, and our three and four hitters came through.”

Hotaling also picked up the victory pitching a complete game.

Norwich plays at Windsor Monday.
