Raider, Falcon softball teams win

Coudersport's red-hot softball team ran into a couple of bumps in the road.

On Friday, Bradford pitcher Shelly Fuhrman kept the Falcon bats at bay as the Owls scored a 3-0 win. Megan Hau had both of Coudersport's hits. Pitcher Karli Duffee showed strong stuff, but had no offensive support.

Three nights later, Coudersport ran into another solid hurler, Smethport's Diana Phalon, and came out on the short end of a 4-2 score. Phalon recorded 15 strikeouts. Kayla Bohn had two hits for Coudersport. Duffee pitched a five-hit complete game.

The Falcons rebounded on Wednesday night for a 12-3 win at Cameron County, giving Coudersport a 5-2 record.

Hau pitched a three-hitter and did not issue a walk. She also had three hits, including a two-run double. Tigan Chiumento homered and singled. Kelly McVay cracked a triple and Mo McCusker and Serena Unser each doubled.

Whitney Lewis had an RBI single for the Red Raiders. Danika Grom handled mound duties.

Results of Thursday's game with Oswayo Valley weren't available by press time. The Falcons are scheduled to host Northern Potter Saturday at 11 am.
