The Voorheesville Blackbirds are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game of the season: they will challenge the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Bulldogs at 12:00 p.m. on Monday.
On Thursday, Voorheesville came up short against Catholic Central and fell 8-4. The loss continues a trend for the Blackbirds in their meetings with the Crusaders: they've now lost three in a row.
Abby Brown spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and seven unearned) runs on 11 hits and racked up six Ks.
At the plate, Skylar Schmidt was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring a run while going 2-for-4. Another player making a difference was Savannah Schmidt, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, Berne-Knox-Westerlo took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Thursday. They put the hurt on Johnstown with a sharp 12-1 victory. The win was nothing new for the Bulldogs as they're now sitting on ten straight dating back to last season.
Voorheesville might still be hurting after the 9-0 defeat they got from Berne-Knox-Westerlo in their previous meeting back in May of 2023. Can the Blackbirds avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
