In the Mudville Softball Tournment on Saturday, Notre Dame posted a pair of wins.
The Irish beat Section II's Voorheesville 5-4 and Section VI's Saranac 6-1.
In the first game, the Irish had to come back in the bottom of the 7th to pull out the victory, with Emma Sisson driving in the winning run with a fly ball to left field that was mishandled. Mia Treleaven scored the winning run. A 1-2-3 double play by the Irish to end the second inning was huge as bases were loaded.
Treleaven got the start on the mound for ND, but after a couple of walks, a hit and an error caused ND to drop behind 3-0 with only 1 out, Coach Otis Thomas made the pitching change and put in Junior pitcher Loretta Sorochty. Sorochty pitched 6 and 2/3 innings giving up 4 hits, 1 run and striking out 13.
Offensively the lady Irish had 9 hits, with Katie Landers, Sonji Warner and Mia Treleaven accounting for all 9. Landers led the way with 4 singles, 3 runs scored and an RBI, Warner had 3 singles, and 3 RBIs, and Treleaven had a double, single, walk and scored a run.
In the second game, ND cruised to the easier win in the second game of the afternoon, winning 6-1. Sorochty got the start on the mound for the Lady Irish and had another dominating performance, pitching a 2-hitter, allowing 1 run and striking out 13.
Offensively the Irish had 9 hits in the game with Kaydence Stehlar and Emma Sisson leading the way with 2 hits each. Stehlar had 2 singles, 2 runs scored and 1 RBI, while Sisson had 2 singles and a run scored. Chipping in with a hit apiece were Sorochty, Landers, Treleaven, Cayleigh Havens and Amelia Sorochty.
Coaches Quote, "I'm super proud of the way the ladies battled back against Voorheesville and then responded by not having a let down in the next game. The team is really gelling right now and we hope to keep things rolling into this week with three big regular season games left." ND Head Coach Otis Thomas
