GREENE – Norwich Pony League traveled south on Route 12 to have a rematch game against Greene on June 20.
“We didn’t take them lightly, they’re a respectable team. I respect that team and they saw my ace, and they still played well. Defensively (Greene) knocked the ball down, we just put the ball in play and took advantage of their five errors,” said Norwich Pony League head coach Nick McCullough.
McCullough's team suffered through an error ridden game themselves, coughing up four errors of their own, and leaving an astounding six runners on base. Regardless of the mistakes, Norwich would improve their record and stay undefeated on the season with a 7-3 win over Greene.
“That is unacceptable. But a win is a win and we'll take it,” said McCullough.
Norwich would jump out to a large enough lead over Greene in just the first two innings to claim the win, despite slipping later on in the game.
“I told them, you cant take a team lightly. We have to step out early and show the other team how the game is going to go. They all took it to heart and we got five runs in the first two innings,” said McCullough.
