NORWICH – The Norwich Purple Tornado baseball team debuted new uniforms in Wednesday’s game against Oneonta and played one of their best games of the season, but fell short 2-0 as the Yellow Jackets held Norwich at the plate.
Both teams were held scoreless until Oneonta plated one run in the top of the third with a lead-off walk, a stolen base, a sacrifice bunt that put the runner at third, before he scored on a RBI single to center. After a one out walk, Norwich’s Collin Reid struck out the next two batters. However, Norwich went down on three strikeouts in the bottom half of the inning.
Reid struck out the side in the fourth to keep it a 1-0 game.
