Moran plays good defense in loss

Whitesboro catcher Colleen Moran had a good day on Tuesday, despite the Warriors' 4-1 loss to Oneida.
In the top of the second inning, Moran made a diving catch on a foul ball for one out and threw out a runner at second base for the second out. Moran had a passed ball in the seventh innning that led to Oneida's fourth run, but the Indians' win was in the bag.

Moran's day was sealed with her second-inning defense. Oneida's Clare Henry led off the inning with a base hit. The next batter, Jenn Rougeux fouled off a ball toward the Indians' bench on the third base line. Moran raced over and caught the ball with an outstretched arm near the screen. Moran threw out Henry at second base during the next at-bat to Erika Williams. Whitesboro pitcher Jaymie Rosati finished off the inning with a strikeout of Williams.

Moran was also active in leading Whitesboro chants while the Warriors were at-bat. Long a part of softball, there are a variety of chants that seem to be standbys for girls softball teams. Moran led a new one, dedicated to teammate Lauren Hoffman when the senior shortstop was at the plate. H-O-Double F Hoffy!!
