FARBER WILL JOIN FORMER TEAMMATE AT ST BONAVENTURE

/in /by

POLAND OH- Poland Senior Abby Farber has officiallly made her decision about where she wants to play in college next season. She will be continuing her academic and athletic career at St Bonaventure to be a Division 1 athlete.

Farber is one of the premiere leaders in Poland’s athletic programs. She is a shining example of a high quality work ethic, which makes it no surprise she got looked at by a division 1 school. However, there are some other connections from St Bonaventure and Poland that could have opened some doors. Former Bulldog Brooke Bobbey is currently on the roster for the Bonnies. She was a big key into building relationships with the Bonnies coaching staff while Abby was at a camp this summer. Brooke and Abby built a bond in their time playing softball together, and you have to believe a friend like that being on the roster is a huge factor in the decision. Farber will feel right at home in New York after she finishes her senior season with the Bulldogs.

Abby took time to make her announcement on Running Point and talk to Anthony Hartwig and Scotty Mincher about what made the decision so easy, some goals for her senior season, and much more. Join us in this wonderful conversation with Abby Farber.

AUSTINTOWN OH- It was a big matchup in the softball realm on Thursday evening. With both schools featured in YSNs Top 10 Power Rankings.

Both pitchers went through the order the first time with ease. As both teams struggled to scratch across a run in the first couple innings. 

The scoreless tie went into the third until Ayla Ray manufactured the first run for Falcons, and then did it again in the fifth.

It was 2-0 Falcons lead in the bottom of the 5th inning, when Player of The Game, junior Caitlin Mitchell hit a 2 RBI single to double the lead 4-0. 

That would be all The Fitch offense would need, as the rain ended things early in 5 innings with Austintown on top. 

Sydnie Watts got the win in the circle, her sixth of the season. Fitch will  also move to 6-0 ahead of their matchup on Friday, April 8th against Glen Oak.
