There's no place like home for Central York, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Thursday. Everything went their way against the Northeastern Bobcats on Friday as they made off with a 16-5 victory. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by six runs or more this season.

Madelyn Sowers was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off three hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. Those three hits gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Logan Craiger was incredible, going 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple. Those three runs gave her a new career-high. Marley Dailey was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run.

Central York kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Northeastern only managed ten.

Central York's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-6. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.4 runs on average over those games. As for Northeastern, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-10.

Coincidentally, Central York and Northeastern will both be playing Red Lion the next time they take the field. The Bobcats will host the Lions at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, while the Panthers will head out to face them at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
