Softball Preview: Warde Mustangs vs. Danbury Hatters
The Warde Mustangs will head out on the road to challenge the Danbury Hatters at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Neither Warde nor Danbury posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.

Meanwhile, Danbury fell victim to Stamford and their airtight pitching crew on Friday. They took a 5-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Black Knights. Danbury has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Abigail O'Dell spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and four unearned) runs on six hits.

Warde came out on top in a nail-biter against Danbury when the teams last played back in April of 2023, sneaking past 4-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for Warde since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
