At the plate, the team relied heavily on Mollie Kate Driver, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one double.

The team also got some help courtesy of Ava Williams, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
Meanwhile, it may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Oneonta ultimately got the result they hoped for on Thursday. They walked away with a 12-9 victory over Pennington. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
