Gloucester outlasts Winthrop in 11 innings

During last year's five-win season, the Gloucester softball team most likely would've never won a game like yesterday's contest with Winthrop. But what a difference a year can make.

The Fishermen hit the road to take on a Vikings team that went 14-6 last year. However, the visitors were able to outlast Winthrop in an 11-inning marathon, 9-6, improving to 3-0 on the season. Gloucester put the game away in the top of the 11th when Olivia Frontiero knocked in two runs with a double to make it 8-6. Ali Kippen, who had homered in the 10th, then singled in Frontiero for an insurance run.
