Softball Swings into Season with Home Opener Against Waltham

As the sun shined on the diamond, the Golden Tornados softball team gathered on the field for their warmup, each dressed in blue, gold, and white and buzzing with excitement. The determination to win was clear on their faces with each swing, throw, and the sound of the ball hitting the glove. 

The start of a season is always the start of new friendships, determination, victory, and teamwork. With a crowd gathering on the side to watch the girls play, there was pressure to do well, with friends and family cheering. After each batter gets a hit and coach Krigman rewards them with nerd clusters every time they make it to first base. 

Though starting strong, the Golden Tornados fell short of Waltham after falling behind and finishing the game with a 23-5 loss. They did not let that put them down and still congratulated the opposite team on their win with smiles on their faces.  They will continue to fight and put that loss behind them to have a successful season.
