Girls Softball Continues its Strong Play; Rolls to Second Straight Championship
June 15th, 2014- Varsity Girls Softball defeated top-seeded Central 10-3 to win their second straight league championship.
The Sting came into the game on a hot streak, winning their past five games by a combined score of 85-5. However, this game was different. Central scored two runs in the first inning, forcing SAR to play from behind for the first time in months. SAR scored one run in the third inning to cut it to 2-1, but Central answered back in the next inning with a home run to extend the lead to 3-1.
With three innings to go and the team down two runs, SAR needed to play a nearly perfect final three innings if they wanted to win. That's precisely what happened.
In the fifth inning, clutch hits by freshman Rebecca Hyman as well as seniors Rachel Weintraub and Samantha Hollenberg gave SAR a 6-3 lead they would never relinquish. Sophomore Jessica Hecht added two RBI's in the sixth to make it 8-3, while Weintraub and sophomore Aviva Lidagoster each added RBI's in the final frame to extend the lead to 10-3.
In addition, the Sting once again received an outstanding pitching performance from junior Yona Feit. After a rough first inning, Feit dominated the potent Central bats and continued her superb playoffs (five runs given up in three games).
This was a great team effort, with everybody chipping in to make this win possible. Congratulations to coach Valerie Gryzlo and all of the players on a terrific season.
