Glens Falls scored in the first inning, and the score remained 1 to 0 until the fifth inning, when the Glens Falls bats came alive – Glens Falls scored six runs in the fifth inning, and added another five runs in the seventh inning while holding Hudson Falls scoreless!

Coach Arch was pleased with the team effort: “Great hitting, great pitching, great team effort, good win for us,” he said.

Glens Falls will host Scotia-Glenville on their home field at Morse Athletic Complex on Friday, April 14th, at 4:30 PM – this is a league match-up!

Chatham, 4… Glens Falls, 2.

On a cold and blustery Friday afternoon, the Glens Falls (soon to be) Black Bears took the field and faced the Chatham Panthers. The Panthers took the win over the course of a nine-inning nail biter!

The winning pitcher Emily Mesick (Senior) threw for Chatham, and Izzy Johnson (Freshman) racked up the loss in the extra innings effort by Glens Falls. Chatham Sophomore Addison Perry had two hits and the game winning RBI in the 9th inning for the Panthers. Lily Haggerty (Senior) had an RBI double, and Kiersten Stevens (Junior) had two hits in the game. This effort was an improvement for Glens Falls over last year – when they fell to Chatham 4 to 0. 

Last Year, the Glens Falls girls varsity softball team was 8-6 overall, and fourth in Section 2 Foothills League with a record of 2-3. They lost in the Sectional Final against a powerful Ichabod Crane, who were 25-0 overall and 16-0 in Section 2 Colonial League. 

The extra inning loss to Chatham was the first loss for Glens Falls, having won the season opener against Queensbury… Glens Falls followed that win up with a win over Granville. The Glens Falls varsity softball team has both youth and experience on its side.

This program has built a strong team with expectations of winning.  Seasoned Coach Craig Achambault has watched these players develop over the years; fondly known as Coach Arch, players know that they are expected to both perform and learn under his leadership. Coach Arch has help from Scott Endieveri and Coach Endo, and he both motivates and instructs the team from his position along the first base line.

Last season, Glens Falls graduated two seniors… Although their contribution to the team is missed, Glens Falls is still primed to have a successful season, and are considered a team to watch!

Next up, Glens Falls will be facing Hudson Falls today, April 10th, at 11:00 AM at Hudson Falls.
