BATAVIA —  The Hornell Red Raiders softball team was not intimidated by having to play at No. 1 Batavia (14-7) in the Section V semifinals.

After trailing 1-0, Hornell plated three runs for a 3-1 lead. Batavia had a 3-run home run for the lead and the Red Raiders almost tied it back up but fell, 4-3.

“We had a great season. These girls worked hard all year, they were extremely coachable and I had a lot of fun coaching them,” said Hornell coach Brian Dyring. “This team, I think, put Hornell softball back on the map. I couldn’t be more proud of a group of girls that came together and really became a team.”

Hornell will lost three seniors and return five players who are in middle school and seven underclassmen. The team battled back from a 5-28 record in previous seasons.

On offense for Hornell, Raegan Evingham had a big 2-RBI double that scored Jordyn Dyring and Parker Graham. Evingham also scored on a bunt by Kaden McGregor.

Hornell (8-9) left nine runners on base.

Julia Clark had the big 3-run home run, but only one run was earned.
