Softball Preview: Chippewa Chipps vs. Orrville Red Riders
The Chippewa Chipps will look to defend their home field on Thursday against the Orrville Red Riders at 4:30 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Chippewa couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of Norwayne by a score of 4-3 last Wednesday.
Katie Gartrell spent all nine innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on three hits and racked up 18 Ks.
On the hitting side, Annie Henegar made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run, and an RBI. Ava Panaciulli was another key contributor, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.
Meanwhile, sadly, Orrville is still looking for their first win of the season after four games. Their tough 25-0 loss to Triway on Wednesday might stick with them for a while.
Chippewa took their victory against Orrville when the teams last played back in March of 2019 by a conclusive 19-9. Does Chippewa have another victory up their sleeve, or will Orrville turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
