VOL. 146 - NO. 21 SIDNEY, NEW YORK — THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2012 SUGGESTED PRICE 75¢ Reservation Deadline Is May 25 NBT Bank of Sidney will be Honored By Sidney C of C at Annual Dinner SIDNEY – A financial institution with a 34-year history of serving the Sidney community, including a quarter century at their current Division St. location, will be honored by the Sidney Chamber of Commerce at their annual dinner Friday, June 8. NBT Bank of Sidney will be officially recognized as the 2012 Business of the Years. Clyde Birch, Jr., NBT Bank of Sidney vice president and area manager, said supporting the community and helping Sidney and the surrounding area grow is important to NBT. “The economic vitality of the community is important to us,” said Birch, noting that a healthy, growing community is also necessary for the bank’s continued growth. “Customers are our livelihood, we need to keep looking for ways to serve them.” Birch is pleased that NBT customer service has been rated #1 in the country, but says they “want to be even better.” Birch is very proud of the bank’s eleven employees. They not only do an excellent job helping customers with their banking needs, but they go out into the community to serve as volunteers for a variety of projects and causes. The list is long but just a few on the long list include American Cancer Society Relay For Life, The Boys & Girls Club of Sidney and the United Way of Sidney. Their employees are Rotarians, members of the Sidney Chamber of Commerce and Vision 21, as well as many other organizations. After the recent flood, NBT employees served free meals to residents impacted by the devastation. Learning of a need for defibrillators for the Sidney Village police cars, they made a financial donation to the police department for the life-saving equipment, taking the financial burden off the village. The persona of the banking institutions has changed over the years. NBT Bank today is proud to be considered a valuable partner in helping individuals, families, busi- nesses and organizations with their financial needs through a friendly, helpful relationship. “You can talk to a real person and feel comfortable with us,” said Birch. “We want to know how we can serve you.” Birch says that in spite of what one hears or reads about financial institutions and their negative lending record, NBT is lending money and is looking to provide the needed financial assistance in their community. NBT of Sidney is always looking for new and unique ways to help their customers. One of their newest efforts is a youth project called iServe where the bank will partner with young people, possibly through the schools, to help familiarize them with needed financial fundamentals using digital products and services. It was in 1978 that NBT Bank purchased the National Bank of Sidney on Main St. and introduced its unique and progressive community banking. Nine years later they built a handsome new facility on Division St. In August NBT Sidney will celebrate 25 years at their Division St., Sidney location. Birch noted the bank will be holding a Customer Appreciation Day on August 13. He said the community has been good to NBT and the bank wants to say thank you. Birch also expressed appreciation to the Sidney Chamber of Commerce for selecting NBT Bank of Sidney as their 2012 Business of the Years. “We appreciate this special honor. It means a lot to be recognized by our Sidney Chamber of Commerce.” The 2012 Business of the Years Award will be presented at the chamber’s annual dinner meeting Friday, June 8. Also to be honored at the dinner is Jacqlene Rose, the 2012 Citizen of the Years. A special appreciation award will also be presented to Tracey Chapman. The dinner will be held at the Sidney Elks Club with a social hour at 5:30 and dinner at 6:30 p.m. The dinner choices are steak, chicken cordon bleu or meatless ziti. The deadline for dinner reservations is this Friday, May 25. To make your reservations call Carol Allen, Sidney Chamber of Commerce secretary at 561-2642. 28 In communities throughout the tri-town area services will be held on Memorial Day to pay tribute to the many men and women who have served and continue to serve their country.

The idea that generated the years of canoeing leading up to the 50th annual event came from Charlie Hinkley who thought a race on the Susquehanna River would bring people to Bainbridge. Today it attracts canoeists from throughout the United States and Canada. The anchor canoeing event, the 70 mile race from Cooperstown to Bainbridge, welcomes back Serge Corbin of Canada whose no loss record of 28 wins has earned him the King of the River title. He is returning with his partner Steve Corlew of Michigan. Incidentally, they were the 50th team to enter so their canoe will carry this year’s significant number, P-50. Corbin’s last win was in 2005 with partner Jeff Kolka of Grayling, Michigan. The record time, 6 hours, 36 minutes and 34 seconds was set in 1990 by Serge and his partner Bruce Barton. Corbin is certainly hoping to add the 50th regatta to his list of wins but there are several other skilled paddlers looking to take this year’s race including some hard paddling local favorites. John Harmon, this year’s regatta chairman, said they are pleased that entries in the 70 mile race are up by 25 canoes and that in general entries are up for all races. Earlier this week Harmon reported that river conditions were looking good. “The river level is down a bit but some rain is expected this week so by the weekend it should be up a little.” He noted that in some areas of the river Otego Man Wins $10,000 In Scratch-off OTEGO - The New York Lottery today announced Richard Klein of Otego won $10,000 on the Lottery’s $5,000,000 Cash! scratchoff game.

While the premier racing event is the 70-miler from Cooperstown to Bainbridge, in honor of the 50th anniversary there are two special events taking place. The first Canoe Regatta Hall of Fame induction, and the first ever Canoe Parade on the river. The Canoe Parade will take place on Saturday, May 26. The parade line-up will be at the old Whitaker’s parking lot on Main St., Sidney at noon with the launch at 1 p.m. at Ozzie’s beach. Harmon said there are 35 canoes entered in what will be a fun and colorful river parade. The Canoe Regatta Hall of Fame induction ceremony and dinner will also be held on Saturday. Seven paddlers including Serge Corbin, Claude Corbin, Luc Robillard, Bob Zaveral, Ted LaMonica, Jan Povlock and Peter Heed and five contributing members including Charles Hinkley, Lew Whitney, Cliff “Red” Wade, Wayne King and Ed Roelle will be inducted. While the canoe races will be the focus this weekend, there will also be a number of activities taking place on the regatta grounds at the General Clinton Park to keep race fans and families entertained. Harmon said this year’s midway will include two new, large rides. Other new attractions will include 4H pony rides and helicopter rides. There will also be a flea market, a craft show and children’s entertainment. There will be food tents with a variety of tasty treats including several food tents by local organizations. One of the most popular entertainment events is the fireworks. There will be spectacular fireworks displays both Saturday and Sunday nights at 10 p.m. They are being sponsored by NBT and ACCO.

Ice Cream Socials at the Depot Open the Season This Sunday SIDNEY CENTER – Ice Cream Socials at the restored O&W Railroad Maywood Depot in Sidney Center open their 21st season this Sunday, May 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. The ice cream socials will be held every Sunday evening from Memorial weekend through Labor Day weekend. The Depot is located off County Hwy. 35 at 66 Maywood Lane in Sidney Center on the West Hill overlooking the hamlet. In 1991, as the Maywood Group of Sidney Center was restoring the long abandoned O&W railroad station, they came up with the idea of holding ice cream socials to raise funds to maintain the depot and help with other expenses. It has been so successful that it is now the major fund raising program for the historical group. The social features several flavors of Perry’s Ice Cream available on cones, dishes or pie alamode. At various times there are other desserts, along with ice cream floats, shakes, soda, water, tea and coffee. Occasionally there is unannounced entertainment with “jam sessions” by area musicians or an occasional singalong. Jim Dorn, a former Sidney High School teacher who spends much of the summer in Sidney Center, played and sang for most of the socials last year. Come and join us. Look at all the memorabilia on display. Enjoy the beautiful, well manicured landscape with a great view of the valley and meet friends and neighbors while enjoying a special ice cream treat.

BAINBRIDGE - Memorial Day is much anticipated as the unofficial start of summer. While many enjoy a long holiday weekend, it is also a time to remember special people in our lives who have passed away. Thousands of individuals descend on Bainbridge each Memorial Day weekend for the popular General Clinton Canoe Regatta. That’s precisely the reason Brenda Parsons, a 1980 graduating classmate of Dan Elwood, chose Saturday, May 26 for the 5th Annual Dan Elwood Memorial 5k Run/ 1Mile Walk to benefit Hospice of Chenango County. “In the fall of 2007 Dan was a young, seemingly healthy, active individual,” says Parsons. “However, a short time later he was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer that took his life in less than six months.” Because Hospice of Chenango County was instrumental in his care, Parsons, and other friends of Dan and his family, decided to organize a fundraiser for Hospice launching it in 2008. “Even if you never met Dan, you probably know someone who has benefited from Hospice services,” says Parson. “It’s my hope that lots of people will join us by running, walking, sponsoring or donating to the event.” The Dan Elwood Memorial 5K Run/1 Mile Walk will start in General Clinton Park at 9 a.m. Runners will pass by Dan’s childhood home on Dingham Hill Road, while walkers will proceed to the new walking trail around the park. Registration is $15 in advance; others can sign up the day of the race starting at 7:30 a.m. for $20. Registration forms can be downloaded on two sites, www.canoeregatta. org/events.htm or the Hospice website at www.hospicechenango.org. If you prefer, you can stop by the Hospice office at 21 Hayes Street in Norwich for a signup sheet. For more information contact Brenda Parsons at 967-8888 or 9677373 or Hospice of Chenango County at 334-3556. Hospice of Chenango County is a non-profit health care agency that cares for individuals and their families in the final stage of an illness. Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance reimburse Hospice for its care, but the reimbursement rate falls well below the actual cost of patient care. Hospice takes a holistic approach in its care providing for the needs of the patients, mind, body, and spirit. If you know someone who would benefit from Hospice services you can call with a referral at 334-3556.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR 60 Minutes Sunday Night Was Very Biased The 60 Minutes Sunday Night News was so biased it was pathetic. 60 Minutes was profiling “Big” City America, not the rural New York State that we live in. In rural areas the reputation of most business is word of mouth. Nothing can hurt a business more than someone bad mouthing them. In my rural area, it is the reputation of the funeral home, word of mouth, and most important, the customer care to the family year after year. It is also about the care and concern to the family, not the bottom line dollar; we do not sell a service for $10,000 to a family who can only afford a $1,000 service. Who gets stuck? The family and the funeral home. This is not, in my book, an ethical thing to do to a family that has lost a loved one. My late husband built a business on “walk in my shoes” to his customers and we still do this today. Westcott Funeral Homes Elizabeth M. Westcott SIDNEY 25 YEARS AGO May 27, 1987 Suburban Propane, formerly Texgas, will celebrate their name change with an open house this Friday and Saturday.

On Tuesday evening of last week Mrs. Audrey Earl of Unadilla was presented with an award of $275 from the King Louis Bowling Blouses Co. by Gerald Gibney. Mrs. Earl bowled a 275 game at the Oneonta Recreation Alleys on March 12. When I referred to allergies last week, I didn’t know nearly as much as I needed to. For instance, I told you allergy sufferers are about 1 in 7, but it is much worse than that. Counting all kinds of allergies, airborne as well as food-borne, more than half of us Americans have some sort of allergy. That’s a lot of sneezing, rashes and hives. It even goes both ways. Humans have dander, too, and their dogs and cats can be allergic to it when they encounter it. You can’t tell by the sneezes, but it make them itchy. Allergens not only make you uncomfortable, they can kill you, too. Food allergies are the cause of 100 to 200 deaths a year in the United States. What can you do about it? Over-the-counter antihistamines, or you can get a series of graduated shots which will persuade your immune system that crab you ate is really as harmless as…it really is. Some fairly unusual cures, however, have developed for special cases. Misdirection, for instance: An Irish team killed a food allergy by giving mice parasites, which kept their immune systems busy with the kind of thing they usually went for, and they forgot about peanuts. Another ingenious fellow fought his allergies by giving himself hookworms. This was so successful he now has an international clientele requiring shipments of hookworm. (Not in the States, though; the FDA won’t approve it.) Nobody is as yet looking for an antibody to the kind of tick bites that may make you allergic to beef, pork and lamb. But, as tick bites become more common in the eastern U.S. and are spreading west, clearly there is an entrepreneurial opportunity here. More tasteful methods are on their way, however. Some industrial designers are hard at work inventing something the Borgias would have loved to have: a plate that tells you whether your allergens are in the food that’s set before you or if it’s safe to dig in. I would buy one of these in an instant. Although it may not be a true allergy, I get very uncomfortable if I eat anything that contains sorbitol or any sorbate compound. Since this is a preservative being more and more frequently used, I have to scan everything I buy personally, going through the list of usually unfamiliar and horriblesounding additives to see if this is one (and if it is, it is usually in the sixth paragraph down). Restaurant meals are impossible, of course, though I have taken lately to asking some to check their labels and found them most obliging to take on this boring task. So if you never go out to eat because you have food allergies, you might be encouraged by my experience. You might also move – out of the city to avoid excess pollution, but not to the desert, which is not much better than anywhere else. Statistics show San Diego in spring and Portland, Ore., in fall with the lowest pollen counts as cities – but never go to Knoxville. And be thankful for the allergies you have, since they’re probably better than some you might have. Once in a while, for instance, a person is born allergic to sex or water. Imagine never having a bath! Though it might keep you fairly safe from the former! Tri-Town News — Thursday, May 24, 2012 — 5 Alumni Assn.

Officers (l-r) are Marge Suriano, Linda Thomas, Lorrie Roach and Jane Cole. Sidney Hill & Valley Garden Club Celebrates It’s 14th Anniversary SIDNEY - Two dozen club members gathered in the Smart Community Room of the Sidney Memorial Public Library for a special meeting, which marked the 14th anniversary of the club’s founding in 1998. The evening’s program was presented by Eve Rabbiner, a Master Gardener from Otsego County’s Cooperative Extension Office. Her theme was a share-and-tell of ‘Nightmares in Our Gardens.’ Everyone had interesting and sometimes funny stories to relate as well as tales of happy endings so the nightmares weren’t too scary. They often provided a moral lesson to be learned about gardening. No matter how long someone gardens, there are always new things to learn and other gardeners are often the best teachers. This learning process has been part of the organization’s focus since the club’s inception. Its Vision Statement reads: “We will have opportunities through the Hill & Valley Garden Club of Sidney, to share gardening skills and knowledge which will be used to enhance our community planting areas and our own private gardens.” The club meets 10 months of the year with programs ranging from information sharing, demonstrations and hands-on gardening activities. A Christmas party and summer picnic round out the calendar year. The August meeting will be creating a front door autumn wreath under the direction of Cooperstown floral designer Rochelle Plummer. Club projects in the community include planting and maintaining the walking trail garden near the pavilion, planting and caring for the downtown planters and under tree areas. At the Sidney library, club members take care of the planters off the back parking lot and also decorate the interior of the building for Christmas. June 9 marks the date of the club’s yearly plant sale. This will be held on the front lawn of the Sidney library beginning at 9 a.m. Potted divisions and plants from the members’ own gardens will be on sale at reasonable prices and members will be available to answer planting and growing questions. Membership is open to anyone who is interested in gardening (novice or experienced), who enjoys the companionship of fellow gardeners, and would like to be part of a dynamic group from all over the tri-town area. Contact president Mary Jane Plumber 563-1978 to learn more about the upcoming plans for the summer. Or be sure to stop in at the plant sale on June 9 to meet club members and talk plants and gardens.

THE AFTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY REMEMBERS “THE WAY WE WERE” AFTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY 116 South Main Street Afton, NY 13730 HISTORICAL MINUTES NO. 983 by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian May 2012 On Armed Forces Day, May 19, the Afton and Old Onaquaga Historical Societies joined to honor the four Rowe brothers who served in the Civil War.

WE’RE BURSTING WITH A COLLECTION OF WARES FOR YOUR FARMHOUSE-PRAIRIE-PRIMITIVE HOME BAINBRIDGE – Serge Corbin and 11 others will be honored this spring as the Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce holds it first-ever Canoe Regatta Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony during the milestone 50th General Clinton Canoe Regatta, to be held May 25-28 in Bainbridge. Initial plans are underway to hold the Hall of Fame Induction dinner and ceremony on Saturday afternoon, May 26, following a “canoe parade” down the Susquehanna River that will end at General Clinton Park in Bainbridge. Festivities will also be held at the park. Officials from the Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce, organizers of the General Clinton Canoe Regatta since its 1963 inception, will also organize the inaugural Hall of Fame event, to be sponsored by Chobani Yogurt. The brand new “Canoe Regatta Hall of Fame” was one of many proposed ideas prior to the 49th annual Clinton races as the Chamber sought ways to actively promote the 50th annual event. Dubbed the “Longest Flat-water Canoe Race in North America,” the General Clinton Canoe Regatta has had a remarkable run and the Hall of Fame “seems like the ideal way to pay tribute to the top paddlers, organizers and contributors that shaped the Regatta’s half-century of history,” Regatta historian Dick Davies noted. A Hall of Fame selection panel comprised of local paddlers, historians and past event chairmen was formed in early 2011 to establish criteria, gather names and face the daunting task of narrowing down a list of hundreds of names to produce an inaugural Hall of Fame roster. The panel decided the first class would be comprised of 12 individuals – seven paddlers and five contributors, or “pit crew” members. With 28 victories in 28 starts, Serge Corbin of St. Boniface, Quebec was the most obvious choice in the Paddler category. Corbin, whose last Clinton race was a two-second victory in 2005, says he is looking forward to attending the Hall of Fame Induction ceremony. The other paddlers include: Claude Corbin (Serge’s brother) who resides in Quebec; Luc Robillard, Vermont; Peter Heed, New Hampshire; Ted LaMonica, Oneonta; Bob Zaveral, Mt. Upton; and Jan Povlock, Unadilla.

A brief history on each inductee includes: PADDLERS Serge Corbin: Undefeated 28-time Pro Champion, including 21 consecutive races. Still holds record time (with Bruce Barton) of 6:34:34 set in 1990. Youngest Pro winner at 17 (1974) in Regatta history. Winning well over 90% of all races he has entered, Serge is regarded as the greatest paddler in canoe racing history. Claude Corbin: Eight-time General Clinton Pro winner in nine starts, good for second place all time. Only loss was a second place finish when his partner (Luc Robillard) paddled with two broken legs. Dominated the 70s and was teacher and mentor to younger brother Serge. Luc Robillard: Four-time Pro winner. 12-time finisher and an original member of the 700 mile club (for 10 completed races). Finished second in 1969 with two broken legs. Brought real star power to Clinton race as part of the “Canadian influence,” a trend that would grow over the next three decades. Bob Zaveral: 35-time finisher, one of only two paddlers to win both C-2 and C-1 Pro races. Won two Men’s Comp Cruising titles, his first in 1970 as a 17year-old high school junior, the first race he ever entered. Revolutionized the carbon-fiber canoe paddle in the 1990s. Ted LaMonica: 40-time finisher, original member of the 700 mile club. Finished the inaugural race in 1963 and notched his 40th finish in 2011. Ted had four victories in various 70 mile amateur categories during this 49-year span. Jan Povlock: 15 finishes recorded and the very first woman to make the 700 mile club in 1986. Jan was instrumental in developing the Girl Scout races, a popular attraction for many Northeast troops and their rowdy fans each year during Saturday’s racing schedule. Peter Heed: Completed 31 endurance races with one 70-mile victory. Took 1989 off to make an excellent video showcasing the Pro Race. Authored the book, “Canoe Racing” a detailed ac- count of the sport. Great ambassador for marathon canoe racing throughout North America. CONTRIBUTORS/ PIT CREW MEMBERS Charles Hinkley: The General Clinton originator, his idea to promote the area through a marathon canoe race with a carnival-like atmosphere at the finish line was scoffed at by many, yet he made it work the first year with very little help. His vision, salesmanship, and hard work proved a 70-mile canoe race was indeed possible. Lew Whitney: 1970s General Chairman. One of four men who paddled a “trial run” in 1963 to check the feasibility of completing the course in a single day. Lew served in various capacities over the first 18 years, taking charge of special events, grounds, judges’ stand and other committees. Cliff “Red” Wade: Cliff was a two-time chairman, including the second (1964) Regatta. He headed the grounds and carnival committees. Cliff, along with Ed Roelle and Ken “Doc” Benson, spearheaded the purchase of the 45 acres known as General Clinton Park. Later he was responsible for bringing fireworks to the park as an added attraction, now a two-night staple enjoyed each Memorial weekend. Wayne King: Regatta Chairman in 1967 as well as entries chairman for 23 years. Wayne handled all financial duties from 1965-72. He was the committee’s original publicity man and the voice of the Regatta from the start. Ed Roelle: Three-time Regatta Chairman. As editor of the Tri-Town News he published an official Regatta tabloid section prior to the weekend and printed all race results for many years.

Enjoy “New” View At Unadilla Drive-In Volunteers Spend Earth Day Cleaning up Historic Cemetery BAINBRIDGE - On Earth Day, April 22, a group of five individuals gathered together for a work bee in the PrinceParks Cemetery located near Bainbridge. This cemetery of approximately 30 burials was in deplorable condition, with so much overgrowth it was hard to see many stones. The weather was cloudy and cool. In about 2 1/2 hours we cleared the cemetery, raked, and sawed up a large limb which was threatening to fall and do damage. Included in the group (pictured here) were Shawn Wade, Kurt Riegel, Evy Avery, Tina Pabst and Jim Parks. Jim, who is from Sanitaria Springs, is a direct descendant of Nathaniel Parks, an early settler buried here in 1847. The cemetery was originally on the farm of G.E. Prince and sits on a wooded knoll. Several transcriptions of this cemetery are available, and the latest was recently compiled by Kurt Riegel. Surnames include Prince, Parks, Stockwell, Warner, Skeel, Talmadge, Johnson, Stever, Moe and Bennett. The oldest stone is that of Polly Stockwell who died in 1819. It is hoped that this final resting place of these early Model # 20372 $ 35900* AFTON – During the summer season of 2012, the Afton Historical Society will open its museum at a different time than in previous years.

As Sharon Donahe, a former resident of Bainbridge, historical society member, and genealogist stated, “This is tremendous work. The Prince family was very prominent in its time. Their final resting place should not be allowed to deteriorate into oblivion. I’m very glad to see that someone cared enough to do what was needed to clear out the debris.” UNADILLA – Memories are a big part of Memorial Day weekend and the Unadilla Drive-In is ready to help movie goers spring into the outdoor movie season with their new, panoramic view screen.

It was the third consecutive season that Greene defeated Afton in the title game – Hanrahan the winning pitcher in all three victories. Now a senior, Hanrahan struck out 13 and did not walk a batter – the lone hit off her coming in the second inning on Connor Decker’s grounder near the first base line that eluded a pair of Greene defenders. Greene got the only run it needed when Hanrahan drew a two-out walk off of losing pitcher Cassidy Phillips in the bottom of the first frame. Ellis then followed with a drive to right-center that just eluded the glove of centerfielder Kate Werth, allowing courtesy runner Shear to score. Phillips, who beat Greene earlier this season, allowed just three hits. Afton threatened in the seventh when Ashley Rogalski reached on an error at third base. Hanrahan struck out the next batter and then forced Rogalski at second on a Werth comebacker to the circle. Phillips also reached on an error, putting runners at second and third, but Hanrahan fanned Decker to end the contest. Dalton Walley (Walton) 9-0; Brandt McCall (B-G/A) 8-6.

Connor Fuller had wins in the 1,600 and 3,200-meter runs and ran the second leg of the winning 3,200-meter relay team. He also won the 3,000-meter steeplechase, an event that the Bears took the top three spots (Rob Burnett and Adam Bauerle grabbed second and third). Noah Ives won the Heptathlon with a school record-setting 2,494 points – breaking the mark of 2,453 by Russell Ross last season. Ives also was part of the winning 3,200-relay team. Sidney’s Austin McCaroll was a double winner – capturing the 800-meters (2:03.8) and triple jump (40-0). B-G/A’s Julia Knapp won the girls’ Heptathlon with 2,455 points, smashing a 19-year-old school record of 2,262 points, set by Terri Volkert in 1993.

Winans Completes Season With Appearance In NCAA Tourney ATHENS, GA – Afton graduate and Coastal Carolina sophomore shortstop Jessie Winans finished 1-2 in the NCAA Division I Softball Championship Regionals, played this weekend at Athens, Ga. Coastal Carolina earned a berth in the 64-team field by winning the Big South Conference championship – its first NCAA berth since 2006. In Friday’s opener, Coastal was blasted by the hosts, University of Georgia, 133, dropping the Chanticleers into the loser’s bracket of the double-elimination tournament. On Saturday, Coastal won its first NCAA tourney game in 12 years – a 2-1 elimination victory over Georgia Southern – the last out recorded when Winans ranged into leftfield to make a difficult catch with the bases-loaded. The win set up an afternoon game with North Carolina. Coastal went down 4-0 after a half-inning of play before battling back with a pair of runs in the fifth and another in the sixth. The Chanticleers’ season would be ended, however, as they were retired in order in the seventh inning. Despite the loss, Coastal Carolina tied a school record for victories with 44 (44-20). Winans completes her sophomore season with a .241 batting average with five homers and 22 RBI. Defensively, Winans finished with a .944 fielding percentage, cutting her error total from 23 in 50 games to just 14 in 60 games played.
