WINSTON BOYS SWEEP NEWTOWN VARSITY/JV


Tuesday night, the Winston Redbirds didn't let soggy playing conditions keep them from continuing their roll through their softball schedule.  The boys came into the game undefeated on the season and played host to a scrappy Newtown-Harris Tiger team that made the long trek to Winston with an upset on their minds.  The Redbirds quickly established the tone of the game by jumping out to a 5-1 lead after the first inning.  Dominant pitching, strong hitting, and solid defense (all staples for this year's squad) helped the Redbirds cruise to a commanding 15-1 victory over the Tigers.  In the JV game, the Redbirds again looked dominant on the mound and at the plate as they controlled the game from the first pitch.  The Redbird's JV squad looked good in defeating the Tigers 7-0 in a shortened game.  With the victory Tuesday night, the Redbirds now stand at 6-0 on the season.  The boys will be in action this Saturday in the HDC tournament.  The Redbirds are the number one seed and will take the field at 2:00 against the winner of the North Harrison and Grundy County contest.  It's a Great Day to be a Redbird!
