The two meetings between the St. Paul and Wolcott softball teams could haven’t had more of a contrast to them.
When the teams met on April 30 at George Babcock Field on the Wolcott High School campus, the Falcon offense paved the way to an 11-7 victory over the Eagles.
A week later, May 7, the teams met at St. Paul Catholic High School. In that game, pitching was the story as Kaitlyn Ouellette’s complete-game shutout propelled Wolcott to a 2-0 win over St. Paul.
The Eagles were 13-5 as of May 11. The Falcons won a 17-14 slugfest over Woodland Regional at home on Saturday to improve to 14-3.
Here’s what happened in the two St. Paul-Wolcott games:
