The Wellsboro Varsity Softball team picked up their 2nd win of the season following a 10-0 shut out over Sayre in 5 innings on Tuesday, April 25.

Junior Abby Owlett led off the inning by reaching on an error followed by junior Caralyn Warner also reaching base on an error. Seniors Molly Ingerick and Mariah Borden, along with freshman Tegan Del Rio all drew walks, senior Maddi Bordas hit into a fielders' choice, and senior Jordyn Abernathy and sophomore Lexi Urena hit back-to-back triples. All of them would score in the inning, putting Wellsboro firmly in control.
