Ava Cornacchio tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched. What's more, she posted five strikeouts, the most she's had since back in April of 2024.

On the hitting side, Addison Taft was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024. Madison Smith was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.

Elmira always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .645. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Johnson City only posted an OBP of .360.

Looking ahead, Elmira will head out on the road to take on Horseheads at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Johnson City has already played their next matchup (against Southside), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
