(Softball/Game Report) Newark Catholic 11 Reynoldsburg 1 (5 Innings)

 

This afternoon I made my way to Newark Catholic High School to watch the softball game versus Reynoldsburg. The Green Wave entered the game at 16-8 while Reynoldsburg stood at 1-20.

Newark Catholic had many opportunities to blow this one open in the first two innings, but they found themselves locked in a scoreless game after two innings of play.

Reynoldsburg would score their only run of the game in the top of the third to take a 1-0 lead. From there, the Green Wave scored the next eleven to post the 11-1 five-inning win. The last two runs of the game came on wild pitches, which marked the first time I got to see a game end on a wild pitch.

For the game, the Green Wave had 11 hits while the Raiders had just three. Newark Catholic batted .500 for the game, while the Raiders hit at a .167 clip.
