LERAYSVILLE - Behind the pitching, and hitting, of Alexa Singer the Wellsboro Green Hornets claimed the title at the NEB softball tournament on Saturday.
Singer threw a four-hitter in the final as Wellsboro defeated Tunkhannock 5-1.
"It's exciting," Singer said. "It was a lot of fun, it's great for the rest of the season. It was exciting to start the season out in a good way."
Pitching on a cold, windy day Singer was able to handle the elements and shut down the opposing hitters.
"It is hard, especially when your hands are freezing and cramping up," she said.
It wasn't just Singer's pitching against Tunkhannock as she also went 3-for-4 with tow doubles and an RBI.
"Some days you've got it," she said of swinging the hot bat in the final.
Singer's first double nearly left the park as she hit the top of the fence.
"I wasn't sure (if it was going to go out)," she said. "I was just happy with the hit."
In the final Sarah Ingerick, Paige Carr and Brooke Kohler all had two hit days.
Ingerick had a double, a run scored and an RBI and Kohler had an RBI and scored two runs.
Maggie Smith, Baylea Lehman and Peyton Wilson all had hits in the game, with Smith driving in a run and Lehman and Jordan Butters scoring runs.
A year ago the Green Hornets fell to Northeast Bradford in the final, so they were happy to win the title this time.
"It's definitely nice to win it this year after taking second last year," Singer said.
In the opening game Wellsboro defeated Mid Valley 7-0.
