Corson lifts Norway to IVL split
NORWAY - Norway had little time to recover from a 9-3 loss to Red Top in the first game of an Iowa Valley League twinbill Sunday.
The Bandits were held hitless for five innings by Red Top starter Cole McDonald, scoring late off the Red Top bullpen.
Enter Brady Corson.
The left-hander survived a rough first inning in Game 2, giving up a run and a pair of hits. He would give up nothing after that, walking only two the rest of the way as the Bandits rolled to a 10-1 victory to earn a split.
Corson, a Cedar Falls High School graduate who just finished his sophomore season at Cal-State San Marcos, had what had been a hot hitting Red Top unit off balance much of the game.
"Coming out of the bullpen I felt good tonight," Corson said. "The defense behind me played great. We had a tough first inning but we still made it work.
"I felt like I had my command as I kept going," he said. "It wasn't just me. I got a lot of help from the defense."
