Jayhawks Closed Out the Season at Niagara County CC

SANBORN - The Jamestown Community College softball ended their season on Sunday, dropping a pair of games to Niagara County Community College.

 

Game 1: Jamestown Community College 6 - Niagara County Community College 7

 

Trailing by one after two innings, the Jayhawks (4-18, 4-18 Region 3 West) got on the board in the third inning as freshman third base Emily Horth (Little Valley, NY/Cattaraugus-Little Valley HS) hit an rbi single to push across a run.

 

The Thunderwolves took the lead over in the fourth, scoring a pair of runs to take the 3-1 lead. NCCC pushed their lead to six in the fifth inning, tacking on four more runs to make it a 7-1 ball game.

 

Despite the six-run deficit, the Jayhawks battled back to put a score in the Thunderwolves. In the sixth, JCC found their offense, putting up four runs on the bats of freshman shortstop Brynn Pagett (Randolph, NY/Randolph HS), center fielder Kara Leeper (Randolph, NY/Randolph HS), and first base Abbi Warner (Westfield, NY/Westfield HS) to put the score at 7-5.

 

The Jayhawks rally fell short in the seventh as they mustard one run.

 

Pagett had a career-day at the plate, going 4-for-4 with a pair of doubles and three rbis. Warner also had a good game at the plate, going 3-for-4.

 

Freshman Samantha Heppel (Angola, NY/Lakeshore Sr. HS) earned the loss in the circle, giving up three earned runs while striking out six batters.

Looking to build on the momentum from the first game, the Jayhawks fell in a quick 3-0 hole after two innings.

 

Trying to find some offense, JCC did just that in the top of the third. Cather Gracie Wood (Warren, PA/Warren Area HS) drove in three runs off a triple and Heppel added another with a single as the Jayhawks took the 4-3 lead.

 

NCCC took over after that, outsourcing the Jayhawks 8-1 to secure the victory.

 

Wood led the offensive charge at the plate, going 3-for4 with a triple and three rbis. Warner continued to be consistent at the plate, going 3-for-4.

 

Hepple earned the loss in the circle, giving up four earned runs and striking out three batters. Pagett came into relief for two innings to close out the game.
