NORWICH - It was a crosstown softball match-up between Sherburne-Earlville and Norwich on a sunny Friday afternoon. S-E was working on a week's rest and Norwich was making up rescheduled games, so both teams were very much ready to play. S-E rolled through with a 18-1 victory over the Purple Tornado through five innings played.
S-E didn't waste any time with plating three runs in the first inning. Jeanine Chamberlain reached base on an error with one out and Emily Lawrence followed with a single before Haleigh Fisher drove in Chamberlain. Chesnee Miller followed with a single to load the bases for Savanna Born, who walked to bring in a run. Emilee Bennett also walked to bring in another run. Norwich's Caitlin Wetterhahn struck out the next two batters to end the half of the inning.
Haleigh Fisher worked her magic on the mound for S-E and the offense went back to work with a five-run fourth inning and had 10 runs in the final at-bats in the fifth. Norwich broke up Fisher's no-hitter in the bottom of the fourth inning as Ava-Rose Cirigliano beat out the throw on a bunt play. She then went on to steal second and third and scored on a RBI double by Wetterhahn.
