Softball Recap: Cooperstown Picks Up Fifth Straight Win on the Road

Cooperstown gave up the first runs on Monday, but they didn't let that get them down. They walked away with a 9-4 victory over the Oriskany Skyhawks. The Hawkeyes have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Skyhawks, too.

The team also got some help courtesy of Evie Baldo, who went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases and one run.
