During practice the players always work on in field drills. They work on them in worm ups and when the coaches are hitting balls to them. Kelly Borman, 12 was able to field this ball and make a great play. Photo courtesy of McDaniel’s photography.

The softball team has started playing scrimmages. Their first scrimmage was on Friday March 21st against Deer Park. It was a tight game the whole way through. Sycamore ended up losing 5-4 but the girls learned a lot from the game.

“I was the starting pitcher for that game. It was my first game playing with varsity and I was a little nervous but after the first couple of pitchers I was able to settle in and help my team the best I could,” said Liz Izworski, 9.

The next scrimmage was on Monday March 24th against Fenwick. SHS was winning most of the game. But in the seventh inning errors started to be made.

“I was really disappointed in losing that game because it is one of those games that we need to win. In a real game we cannot play like that,” said Lydia Sloan, 11.

The team’s real games on Saturday March 29th and they will be playing a double header. For more information on the softball season you can visit the GMC website.
