On Saturday, May 22, Guilderland softball squared off against Suburban Council foe in Shaker at home. Guilderland led from the first-inning and had to have some insurance runs late as Shaker attempted a rally in the top of the seventh. Guilderland won 11-to-9.

The Guilderland softball team battled the Ballston Spa Scotties in an early season Suburban Council matchup on Friday afternoon at home. The game started as a pitchers’ duel but then the Scotties’ bats woke up and the Dutch fell behind. A Dutch rally fell short in the 11-to-6 loss.

The Guilderland softball team doesn’t quit when falling behind; the girls play hard till the last at bat. At home on Friday, the Dutch trailed against Saratoga, 3-0, all game long, but then scored three runs in the sixth inning to tie.

The weather mangled schedules for the Guilderland varsity baseball and softball teams this spring season. The Guilderland baseball team has played only two games, both wins, so the Dutchmen are 2-0 overall. The softball team has played three games and is 1-2 overall.
