OSWEGO — Crest High didn’t let the sting of a gut-wrenching loss linger on the softball diamond Monday.
The Lady Lancers dropped a 14-13 heartbreaker in walk-off fashion when host Oswego scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh.
“Game two started out feeling like déjà vu, but the girls decided they weren’t going to let what happened in Game 1 happen again,” Crest head coach Casey Cook said.
Crest found its offensive groove in the nightcap, scoring early and often in a 21-14 romp.
“I’m proud of them all working hard and competing,” Cook said. “Our pitcher and catcher duo, Lindsey Godderz and Kayla Hermreck, worked hard for their team tonight.
“We only had 10 players tonight and everyone contributed,” she continued. “It was great to win on the road.”
Godderz hit a double, while McKenna Hammond, Kayla Hermreck and Andie Burnett had singles.
In Game 2, Anna Hermreck and Allyssa Adams hit doubles for Crest, although their teammates reached base in a litany of ways, from walks to hit-by-pitches or errors.
Crest (5-11) is at Yates Center Thursday.
