The softball team came from behind Wednesday to beat a good Tri City team, 2 to 1, to move their record to 14 and 4 on the season. Trailing 2-0 in the 5th inning, Mia Volpert got the inning started with a single. After being driven in to tie the game, Bella Pagliara drove in what would prove to be the game winning run. The defense stepped up and made some big plays when needed and Volpert finished the game allowing just 2 hits and striking out 7. Good job ladies!
