Softball Recap: Newmarket Continues Home Dominance on Friday

On Friday Newmarket's undefeated season almost came to an end. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 3-2 W against the Franklin Tornadoes. Those three runs were actually the fewest the Mules have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.

Emma Surina was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. Surina was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs. Those stolen bases marked the first that she has snagged this season.

Surina wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Lily Thompson, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one RBI.
