Ron Savoie is walking with a little more spring in his step today.
The Johnstown softball coach lost quite a bit of weight Friday night when he shed the monkey that his been on his back for nearly three years.
Three years ago in a game played May 13, 2005, Johnstown beat Gloversville 4-3 in eight innings at Johnstown to close out the regular season. Alix Leo reached on an infield single, driving in Brittany Thomas for the win. The Lady Bills finished that season 8-11 overall and 4-10 in the Foothills Council.
Since then, the program was winless before Friday’s 7-6 win over visiting Bishop Maginn. The win snapped a 46-game losing streak.
Seniors Katie Kollar and Heather Power experienced every one of those 46 losses and felt what it was to win on the diamond for the first time Friday. They, too, have had that monkey, nearly 3 years old, swinging from their shoulders for three seasons.
Racing Around
For years, the Victoria 200 was the showcase event of the season at Fulton Speedway.
The name is still the same, but the location has changed.
Campus Clippings
Matt Begeal (Wells) won the second game of a doubleheader, leading the Hilbert College baseball team to a sweep of Keuka.
Begeal’s older brother, Brady, is a pitcher for Keuka. He allowed two runs in three innings of the first game.
Schools of Thought
Just over a week now remains in the Foothills Council baseball regular season, making for some exciting games.
