BRADFORD — The Lady Raiders held Bradford to just three total hits in 25-1 and 15-0 wins to take both ends of Tuesday’s doubleheader.
Carlie McManigle pitched in both games for Brookville, giving up just a run and two hits in the three-inning opener before shutting out the Owls in a four-inning second game.
Brookville had offensive contributions from just about every in its lineup, but were led by Emily Kramer with seven RBI and Megrah Suhan with six. Suhan had two doubles in each game.
The Raiders (2-5) had dropped their first five games of the season before Tuesday.
Bradford, meanwhile, fell to 0-8 in 2018.
“Tonight we struggled to find our groove and fight back,” Bradford head coach Jennifer Snow said. “We are showing signs of improvement in some areas. We are talking and calling out plays better but we still need to settle in to make throws or keep the glove down at times. We were able to put a few girls on base but struggled to capitalize on those moments.”
After playing six games over the past five days, the Owls (0-8) are off until Friday’s matchup against Otto-Eldred.
Coudersport 11, Cameron County 1
EMPORIUM — Joplin Osgood hit a two-run homer as part of an eight-run second inning to propel Coudersport past the Red Raiders on Tuesday.
The Falcons (4-2) also got a home run from Shaelyn Black in the fourth inning as part of her three-hit day. Paiton Whipple added two hits and two RBI, as well.
“Our downfall was that one bad inning,” Cameron County coach Jocelyn Wensel said. “We just couldn’t come back after that.”
The Red Raiders (3-3) also ran into a solid performance in the circle from Madison Smith. The Coudersport senior allowed just one run and six hits while striking out seven batters.
Both teams play next on Thursday, with Coudersport hosting Oswayo Valley and Cameron County against Port Allegany.
Port Allegany 15, Northern Potter 0, 4 innings
ULYSSES — Port Allegany’s Autumn Freer pitched a one-hitter and was backed by 10 hits to lead the Lady Gators to a 15-0 four-inning victory over Northern Potter in Northern Allegany softball action Tuesday.
Supporting Freer’s effort in the circle were Lauren Dynda (3-for-3) with 3 RBIs and 4 runs scored, Jenna Sprankle with a double, Makenzie Burr with a two-run double and Hannah Lathrop with three RBIs.
Port Allegany shortened the game with a 10-0 lead after three innings.
Hoops and Cowburn shared pitching duties for NoPo.
The Lady Gators (4-2) host Cameron County on Thursday.
Otto-Eldred 16, Oswayo Valley 6, 6 innings
SHINGLEHOUSE — It was a relatively close game on Tuesday until the Lady Terrors put up a seven-spot in the sixth inning to improve to 2-4 on the season.
Otto-Eldred led 9-6 going into the sixth before things broke open.
Camryn Thomas paced Otto’s offense with two home runs in the game, including one in that big sixth inning. Kayley Heller also hit a home run for the Terrors. Emily Smith went 3-for-4.
Emilee Sheeler, meanwhile, finished with two strikeouts and four walks to earn the ‘W’ on the mound.
Karina West struck out six and walked four for Oswayo Valley, while also going 2-for-3 at the plate.
“We’re just making too many mistakes,” OV coach Tim Morey said. “We’re letting our pitcher down, who’s been pitching well lately.”
Oswayo Valley (1-7) will travel to Coudersport on Thursday.
