Gowanda pitcher Blake Herman gave up a single hit with six strikeouts through five innings on the mound. The game was tied 1-1 into the 6th inning when Gowanda picked up three runs to take a 4-1 victory. In addition to his pitching stats, Herman hit two doubles and scored twice. May 7 found the baseball team back home hosting Dunkirk. In a dominating performance, Gowanda rolled over Dunkirk 9-0, improving the team’s league record to 7-2. The Gowanda Varsity softball team started their week at Silver Creek on May 2. In a largely defensive battle, the game went scoreless through three innings. In the 4th inning, Gowanda pulled into a temporary 1-0 lead. After Gowanda scored another run in the 6th inning, Silver Creek knotted the score at 2. The 7th inning went scoreless forcing extra innings. An 8th inning rally saw Gowanda pile on five runs before shutting down Silver Creek for 7-2 final. Gowanda’s Addison Kota pitched a complete game with six strikeouts while giving up one walk and five hits. Gowanda claimed 12 stolen bases in the game with eight of those split between Jada Geiger and Kailyn Farner. Pitching for Silver Creek, Kaylee Hutchison struck out 11 Gowanda batters keeping things close until the final inning. On two outs, hits by Laneya Olsen and Tessa Braidich for Silver Creek kept them in the game and spoiled a Gowanda shutout. The softball team was at
Pine Valley on May 4 for a game that ended in a 12-0 Gowanda win. Again it was Kota on the mound for Gowanda. This time she threw a six strikeout, two-hit shutout. Leading the Gowanda offense were Cameron Nagel (2 singles, 1 double, 2 RBIs, 1 run) and Gao:wisa:s Stevens (2 singles, 2 RBIs, 2 runs scored).

Gowanda came out big in the third quarter boosting their advantage to 12-5 with five different players scoring at least once in the quarter.

Gowanda has new permanent Christmas tree BY BILL PEGLOWSKI GOWANDA — Chang-Hu Park had a new addition to the assortment of trees that adorn the park added May 2. Now, there is now a permanent Christmas tree at the park even closer to
the street going past. Two Gowanda village employees with one piece of heavy equipment set the new tree into its new home at the park. For many years, the Gowanda Area Chamber of
Commerce has held a Christmas In Gowanda event the first weekend of December. The village Christmas tree has traditionally been a cut tree donated locally by Dixieland Tree Farm. Up through 2020, that tree was staged in the Chang-Hu Park gazebo, but 2021’s Christmas tree was located halfway between the gazebo and Gowanda’s West Main Street for greater visibility for passersby. On hand for the event were Chamber president Nick Crassi and board members Carol Sheibley and Me-
linda Spire. It is expected that this new Christmas tree will be used for Christmas In Gowanda celebrations for man years to come. The Gowanda Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual Spirit of Gowanda Awards banquet is scheduled for May 21 at the Gowanda Moose. The evening will consist of a cocktail hour starting at 5 p.m., a Chinese auction, a full dinner and the awards ceremony. Honorees for 2022 include Musacchio and Pyle Law Firm (Business Recognition), Gowanda Love In the

A new permanent Christmas tree is transported to Gowanda’s Chang-Hu Park to be used during the annual Christmas In Gowanda celebrations.
