Yes, vaccinations are helping tremendously, with more than 91,000 people in Lorain County already getting at least one dose, local Health Commissioner David Covell said. And yes, hospitalizations and deaths here have slowed. But Covell is concerned the good news will encourage residents to ease up on safety protocols just as progress is being made, which could allow the pandemic to drag on through the summer.

DUKES From C1 “I don’t think today was an indication of how well we can hit,” Avon Lake coach Jana Peachman said. “We usually make better con- tact with the ball, then there were a couple times we ran ourselves out of an inning trying to make something happen.” Regal struck out 10 and also drove in a pair of runs and scored twice. “I think I was hitting the corners really well today,” Regal said. “I don’t think the cold weather really messed me up at all. “When we’re hitting the ball it really helps with the energy. Even when we’re in the field everyone is really into it and encouraging each other.” Wellington didn’t rely on a big inning, instead it just slowly pulled awaywith two runs in the third, three in the fourth and two more in the fifth. “After having not played together in a couple years it’s been really good to see how the girls are playing,” Sunagel said. “We’ve got another doubleheader Saturday then we get right into conference play next week with Clearview on Monday and Keystone on Tuesday, so it’s going to get tough for us. That’s why it’s so important to get all of these wins now.” McClellan, who had two hits, was the only Avon Lake player to have a multihit game. Noss thinks the Dukes can carry their early season momentum into Lorain County League play and hopefully beyond. “It kind of helps to build momentum now and see what we can do so when we get late in the season and get into tournaments we’ll have more confidence,” she said. “If we can beat a Division I team that tells us we’re a pretty good team as long as we’re playing KRISTIN BAUER / CHRONICLE good defense, hitting the ball and staying Wellington’s Tori Paramore loses the ball as Avon Lake’s Kaylee Kuwalu slides into second base during Wednesday’s game. smart on defense.”
