Softball Recap: Newton Find Success

Newton had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Dover on Thursday. The Braves never let the Tigers get on the board and left with an 11-0 victory. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Braves considering their two-run performance the matchup before.

Jaida Long made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 13 over seven innings pitched. Long was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.

In other batting news, Jordyn Young was incredible, going 4-for-5 with two triples, three runs, and four RBI. Another player making a difference was Aubrey Sawler, who scored a run while going 3-for-4.

Newton's win bumped their record up to 2-0.

Coming up, Newton will square off against Wallkill Valley at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Dover, they will challenge Academy of St. Elizabeth at 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
