The Notre Dame girls softball team closed out the season Friday with a come-from-behind victory over Lyndonville in game played at GCC.
As the defending state champions, the Fighting Irish finish out the season with a 10-8 record, which is good enough to make it to the first round of sectional play, but Head Coach Rick Mancuso said the team still needs to eliminate some mistakes to advance further.
"We're getting better," Mancuso said. "The girls are working really hard. We're not probably where we want to be, but we'll see what happens. We'll throw our hat out there and see how it goes."
Friday's game was a seesaw battle, with Notre Dame and Lyndonville exchange the lead just about every inning.
Going into the bottom of the seventh, down 10-9, the Irish needed to string some hits together and plate two runs to pull out a victory.
The team was loose and confident at the start of the inning and got the job done to notch an 11-10 victory.
"The girls did a great job of rallying back any time we got down," Mancuso said. "They showed a lot of character today."
