With the victory Northmont improved to 5-3 overall and 1-1 in Greater Western Ohio Conference play. Fairmont fell to 3-3 and 1-2 in conference play.

Fairmont defeated Northmont 10-7 on Friday.

“I was just concerned how we would respond after last night when we lost 10-7,” said Northmont coach Kris Mangen. “Our energy was high and I knew they had confidence. Obviously, today was a good day both offensively and defensively. It was a 42 minute game, I think, with the run-rule, so I am glad how we responded.”

The Lady Bolts won four of six games in Myrtle Beach over spring break.

“We played all Ohio teams when we were down there, which is funny, but the facilities were beautiful,” Mangen said. “Everything is turf – the infield and outfield and they had plenty of areas to practice hitting and for pregame stuff. It was beautiful.”
