The tension is on. Consider a typical softball game. The score is tied four to four and Trumbull High school needs one more run to win. The best pitcher at Norwalk High school is sweating, twisting the ball around in her hands, waiting for the signal to pitch. One, two, three, and strike you’re out.
The pitcher knows the batter’s weakness. Here goes the next person and three, two, one, and she’s out too. The third batter from Trumbull High School comes up. If she hits this, THS could have a chance of winning. Time is ticking and three, two, one and bam she’s out!
Now Norwalk High is batting. Maddie Festa, the pitcher from THS is waiting for the signal. She goes in for a fast pitch…
The game between Norwalk high and Trumbull High was on May 1st at 4:00 pm after school. Norwalk might have won the last game but this year’s players are prepared to bring it all.
“Norwalk High is a very competitive team with some really great players, especially their pitcher,” Jayme Thompson, a sophomore at Trumbull High School, said. “Throughout the months we have been practicing really hard and hopefully we will win this next game. Norwalk better be prepared because we are bringing it all this time. I have a feeling we might not be losing this time around!” Jayme Thompson the outfielder on the THS softball team hopes the team does well.
“Every team is good until you beat them, basically,” Ali Brown, a sophomore and the team’s pitcher at Norwalk High School, said. “We played Trumbull last year and won but that doesn’t mean the same results will happen. Both teams have been working hard and we are ready for this game.”
Not only are both teams ready for the game but so is everyone else who went to cheer on their school. After a close and fiercely competitive game, Trumbull emerged victorious and has an overall record of 7-6.
