- 0:14Speaker 1: Wells Arth, this article is being read by an automated
- 0:18Speaker 1: voice brought to you by Everlett. Oss WeGo East juniors
- 0:24Speaker 1: Addison Dunn and Danielle Stone make for quite the team
- 0:27Speaker 1: on the softball diamond as pitcher and catcher. Stone, who
- 0:30Speaker 1: usually plays in the infield, has caught for Done since
- 0:33Speaker 1: the two were up on JV as freshman Stone did
- 0:36Speaker 1: again Monday, and Done was stellar in the circle. They
- 0:40Speaker 1: were quite the combo in the batter's box two. Dun
- 0:43Speaker 1: knocked in the tying run with a hard hit infield
- 0:46Speaker 1: single in the bottom of the seventh. Stone followed with
- 0:49Speaker 1: the game winner to drive in Olivia Owls. Oswego East
- 0:52Speaker 1: rallied for two runs in the seventh to beat Lamont
- 0:55Speaker 1: Tuminus one to remain undefeated. These past couple games, we've
- 0:59Speaker 1: been down, but we keep our energy up, Dunn said.
- 1:01Speaker 1: It's our positivity. We know we can hit these pitchers.
- 1:04Speaker 1: We just have to think smart, take the bad pitches,
- 1:07Speaker 1: get hard contact on the good ones. Oswego East six
- 1:10Speaker 1: to zero scored fifty three runs over its first five games,
- 1:13Speaker 1: but was stymied for six innings by Lamont's sophomore mi
- 1:16Speaker 1: La Marjetko. The Wolves had base runners in all six innings,
- 1:19Speaker 1: but went one four minus fourteen with runners on. That
- 1:23Speaker 1: changed in the seventh as Lamont, on to minus three,
- 1:25Speaker 1: brought on clear Padre Barrack in relief. Maya Bobo reached
- 1:29Speaker 1: on an infield hit off a Leamont fielder's glove to
- 1:31Speaker 1: start things, and Owls poked a single to left. Katie
- 1:34Speaker 1: Maday bunted, and the throat to third was dropped to
- 1:36Speaker 1: load the bases. Dunn followed with a hard smash off
- 1:40Speaker 1: Padrey Barrack's leg, the ball trickling away as the tying
- 1:43Speaker 1: run came in. With the first pitcher, we were having
- 1:46Speaker 1: more trouble because she had a lot of upspin and
- 1:48Speaker 1: people were chasing her, Dunn said. The new pitcher came in,
- 1:51Speaker 1: we adjusted really quickly. She was pitching more down, so
- 1:54Speaker 1: it was easier to get those ground balls to move
- 1:56Speaker 1: the runner and not pop up. Stone, who had doubled
- 1:59Speaker 1: in single in her previous two at bats, wasted no
- 2:01Speaker 1: time to walk it off. She hit the first pitch
- 2:04Speaker 1: in the hole between shortstop and third. Midday, running from second,
- 2:07Speaker 1: hit the ball with her foot and obstruction was called,
- 2:10Speaker 1: but Owl's winning run still counted. I just tried to
- 2:13Speaker 1: hit the ball on the ground so the runner could
- 2:15Speaker 1: come in. Stone said, when the pitcher got hit on
- 2:18Speaker 1: the foot, I got extra pitches to time her up.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I was looking for any strike I could take to swing.
- 2:22Speaker 1: At Lemont, coach Chris Treana was confused as to the
- 2:26Speaker 1: final umpire's call, but not how our team lost the game.
- 2:30Speaker 1: We didn't make the plays. Bottom line, Traina said, I
- 2:33Speaker 1: thought our pitching did well. Miela pitched a good game.
- 2:35Speaker 1: We tried to get clear in to change things up,
- 2:37Speaker 1: and we didn't back her up. In the field, mar
- 2:40Speaker 1: Jack co only struck out one scattering six hits and
- 2:42Speaker 1: a walk, but got help from her defense to keep
- 2:44Speaker 1: us We go east. At Bay, Lemont turned a double
- 2:47Speaker 1: play to end the first inning. Padre Burak made a
- 2:49Speaker 1: diving catch and center to rob mckaylee Malburg of a hit.
- 2:52Speaker 1: With two out in the fourth and Stone on second.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Lemont broke up a scoreless game in the sixth as
- 2:57Speaker 1: Padre Barak tripled and scored on a Caroline Painter sacrifice fly.
- 3:01Speaker 1: I thought Miela did a really good job of what
- 3:03Speaker 1: pitches she was throwing and where she was throwing. Treyna said,
- 3:06Speaker 1: it came down to that last inning. We've got to
- 3:08Speaker 1: back up our pitching, especially with Dunn's pitching at its peak.
- 3:12Speaker 1: She struck out six and allowed just six hits. Dunn
- 3:16Speaker 1: made a diving stop of a comebacker in the seventh
- 3:18Speaker 1: to keep a runner at second from scoring to set
- 3:21Speaker 1: the stage for Oswego East's late hitting heroics. ADDIE's pitching
- 3:24Speaker 1: was the best I've ever seen from her. Oswego East
- 3:27Speaker 1: coach Sarah Davies said, last year we had Ryan Sinta catching,
- 3:30Speaker 1: but Addie and Danny still work together. This year we
- 3:33Speaker 1: match her and Danny. Donnie is smart, very methodical, understands
- 3:37Speaker 1: what Addie can throw in certain situations. And Addie is
- 3:39Speaker 1: so composed, she has so much poise on the mound.
- 3:41Speaker 1: She goes to the next pitch, trusts Danny. Oswego East
- 3:45Speaker 1: is off to its best start since twenty eighteen, the
- 3:47Speaker 1: year before Davies came aboard as head coach. This doesn't
- 3:51Speaker 1: usually happen here. It isn't regular, Stone said, but I
- 3:54Speaker 1: think we have a great team that can do great
- 3:56Speaker 1: things this season.
