Culbert no-hits Magi as softball team splits double-header

by Chelsie Darrow

After a long bus trip to Colon, the Ladycats played sluggishly in the first game, getting mercied 10-0 before bouncing back in the second game behind a no-hitter by junior Nicole Culbert to win 2-1.

There was no offense of note in the first game, and senior Marisa Hamilton took the loss on the mound. The ‘Cats rode the arm of Culbert and her nine strikeouts in the second game, though, and were able to eek out a one-run game as the Magi scored on three Pittsford errors.. The two scores for the night were made by freshman Samantha Cole and senior Jessica Plessinger both hitting doubles for the Wildcats winning game.

The Wildcats had some disagreement within the team but pulled it together for a win in the ending game. “We weren’t getting along like we could of in the first game, but we pulled out of the disagreement and won the second, making it a great learning experience for the whole team to endure,” explained sophomore Keely Sanders.
