NEK – The Craftsbury Academy (CA) and Cal United (Twinfield-Cabot-Danville) softball teams struggled against stiff competition in the rugged Mountain League last week.
BFA-Fairfax blanked Cal United 19-0 at home last Friday, dropping them to 2-6 on the season. Tatum Gaudette earned the win in the circle for the Lady Bullets, allowing just one hit over five innings of work. Gaudette, Jaiden Thweatt and Paisleigh Niles combined for nine hits at the plate to power the offense. Alaina Robbins took the loss for Cal United. Fairfax improved to 9-2 and is battling for one of the top four spots in the upcoming Division III state tournament.
Peoples Academy earned its first win of the season over a shorthanded Lady Charger team at home last Thursday, 15-3. CA was forced to forfeit its final two games of the week against Richford and Blue Mountain.
CA looked to earn its first win of the season on Tuesday as they traveled to Danville to take on Cal United before wrapping up the regular season with a trip to BFA-Fairfax on Friday. Cal United is scheduled to host Vergennes on Saturday afternoon in their regular-season finale.
