JV Softball lost to Visitation 21-7. For four innings, the game was a fun and tightly fought battle between two good softball teams. Unfortunately, NCS experienced an epidemic of defensive breakdowns in the fifth inning. When her defense supported her, Alexa Perlmutter '17 pitched a good game to her battery mates Emmy Perry '17 and Lily McGrail '17, who took over as catcher when Perry had to leave the game. McGrail also performed her co-captain’s duties well by calling the defense together during their disastrous fifth inning to get them to rally and end the inning. Offensive highlights included an RBI triple by Alba Cordover '18 hit over the left fielder’s head, and HaoMin Sima '18 recording her first RBI with a fielder’s choice that drove Lauryn Barnes '17 in from third.
