Wellsville softball star Makenna Dunbar had a memorable game on both sides of the plate last week.

Dunbar opened this spring with similar results during a double header at Honeoye Falls-Lima on April 3. She tossed a no-hitter in Game 1 then connected on a two-run homer in Game 2. Wellsville won both games 5-1 and 13-1.
Dunbar may have the sturdiest swing in Section V, nevertheless the entire state. She's hit five home runs in five New York state tournament contests, including a three-run shot in last year's NYS Class B championship game. Dunbar was an All-Greater Rochester first teamer in 2023 and 2024.
Wellsville has won four straight Section V titles and clinched state final four appearances in 2023 and 2024.
