Bishop Homers in Greylock Thunder Win
EASTHAMPTON, Mass. -- The Greylock Thunder under-18 travel softball team took home one win from their double-header on Sunday.
The Thunder won its first game, 10-4 over the Valley Storm, as Rylie Bishop started it off in the second inning with a home run over the left field fence, followed in the third by Alexa Kinley with a solid hit, giving her an easy triple and Emma Newberry bringing her home off a single to left field.
In the fifth Logan Stansfield, Alexa, Emma, Amanda Novak (with a triple), and Kali Vanuni all scored. The Thunder wrapped up with Logan and Brodi Rosier each hitting a single and getting around the bases to score the final two runs. Amanda and Rylynn Witek shared time in the pitching circle, with each allowing only two runs each for the opposition.
Game 2 didn't go as planned with a 16-6 loss to the Warriors. Madi Puppolo crossed home plate twice, and Rylynn, Jordyn Codding, Alexa, and Amanda each scored one. Madi, Kiki Carrigan, and Amanda each pitched well, but the opponents' bats were hot, with all but one of their girls connecting with the ball and scoring.
