Worth County's softball girls dropped a close one to Polo 4-3 Tuesday, but then picked up a forfeit win over Albany Thursday as Albany did not have enough players to compete. Softball players may finish with fewer players, but must start with 9. Worth County was able to pick up their second GRC win without even taking the field. Albany has forfeited all their games this week and next week. However, Coach Dave Gilland said that he was not happy with the situation. "Our players were really looking forward to playing this game," he said. Albany had beaten Worth County earlier this year 8-7. Worth County now stands at 2-1 in the GRC and 3-5 overall.
Earlier, the Tigers fell behind 4-0 to Polo, but came back to score three runs in the top of the seventh at Polo before falling 4-3. The Tigers had winning runs on second and third when Quinci Schottel hit a hard-hit ball right at the third baseman for the final out of the game. Brooklyn White played two defensive innings at first place as she was showing a lot of improvement and starting to earn varsity playing time. Sidney Troutwine continued her hot hitting and played excellent defense at shortstop. Katie Mullock and Adrian Fletchall started off the rally in the 7th with hits. Rachel Gardner made an outstanding defensive play when she backed up a throw to the pitcher that got away on a wild pitch situation and threw to Rikky Hunt to get her out at the plate.
The JV lost 4-0 to Polo in the nightcap as Polo broke up a tight defensive struggle with four in the third.
