OSWEGO 11, SANDWICH 2
At Sandwich, the Lady Indians led 2-0 after three innings, but Oswego put up seven runs in the top of the fourth before adding three more in the sixth inning to pull away for the win.
"We played well for six out of the seven innings," said Lady Indians coach Beth Behringer, whose team opened the season against Oswego. "We were hitting the ball and (Oswego) made some really good catches. Our hitting needs to improve as well as our defense. We had six errors which led to seven runs. But, we did OK for our first game."
