The 15th-seeded Homer Lady Trojans suffered a tough loss against Chittenango (#3 seed) with a score of 0-15 in the first round of the Section III Class B Sectional Tournament.
“Despite the loss, I am very proud of the girls and how hard they have worked throughout this season,” said Homer head coach Cris Colasurdo. “Jenna Henderson stepped in to pitch, even though it is not a natural position for her, and she improved tremendously. Cece Rappleyea definitely was a strength behind the plate to help our pitchers. Our defense worked through some growing pains and we limited our errors as the season progressed and decreased the amount of extra base hits.”
