GILBERTSVILLE – The Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Softball team started off their season on the right foot last Wednesday, Mar. 29, as they defeated Downsville by a score line of 10-7.

In what was a tightly contested game throughout, the scores were knotted at five runs apiece in the fifth inning. That was before the GMU offense broke out for five more runs in the sixth inning. Although their opponents made a comeback, it was too little, too late, as the Raiders closed out the victory.
