He didn't want to think of it as a possibility but were the Norwich Free Academy Wildcats caught looking ahead just a bit to a game vs. Waterford today.
NFA coach Jim Cotter thought about that question for a moment after his Wildcats were shutout by Fitch 4-0 Wednesday and said he had hoped not especially after they found themselves down 3-0 in the first inning.
NFA could never recover.
Fitch junior Kristina Torres never let NFA get much going as she failed to walk a batter and allowed only three hits. A base-running miscue ended the only threat NFA could mount.
One thing the Fitch victory did signal is that there is a new kid in town in the midst of the Large Division battles as Waterford, NFA and East Lyme will now also have to contend with the Falcons.
As Cotter said, "it's going to be a great year."
I couldn't agree more as long as the weather breaks and allows us to enjoy it a bit more. I don't know about you but I've had more than my share of being cold watching a game this spring.
