Goshen Central lost to Warwick back in April, but they didn't allow them the same satisfaction on Sunday. The Gladiators put the hurt on the Wildcats with a sharp 9-3 victory. The Gladiators might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by six runs or more this season.

Addison Freiberger spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits and racked up six Ks.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Sophia Springer, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. That triple was her first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Marley Northrup, who went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Goshen Central was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Warwick only posted a batting average of .192.

Goshen Central has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.6 runs over those games. As for Warwick, their defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 10-6.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Goshen Central will face off against Minisink Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. The Warriors will roll in looking for their tenth straight victory, something the Gladiators surely won't give up without a fight. As for Warwick, they will head out to challenge Monticello at 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
