ROCHESTER — Sarah Soderback hit a fly ball far enough to bring home the game winning run in the Warriors’ 2-1 win over Aberdeen in an Evergreen 2A Conference softball game here on Monday.
Delaney Glazer earned the win in the circle, allowing one run on six hits with no walks and one strikeout.
Glazer was 3 for 4 at the plate. Lexie Trombley was 2 for 4 with a double and Bella Phelps was also 2 for 4 with an RBI.
It was scoreless until the seventh inning when Aberdeen scored its only run, but Rochester answered in the bottom of the seventh to win the game.
“We played well. It’s one of those games where you know you played pretty well,” Rochester coach Dave Montgomery said. “Our last two opponents had some big innings, but we tightened that up.”
Rochester (6-4, 3-3 league) hosts Black Hills on Tuesday in a EvCo game.
