From Coach Foti
The JV Softball team had another shut out game against Norwood
on Tuesday, April 23. Nicole had four
strike outs and only allowed 10 hits to our 30! All the girls are doing a great
job of catching fly balls and fielding hard hit grounds. The girls showed their
batting skills, hitting multiple balls into the outfield. It was truly incredible! Catherine had great at bats and hit three
doubles. Ines also had a double in the
last inning. The score was 16-0. Go
Mighty Owls!
We had our first very close game against Westminster on
Thursday, April 25 at our home field. We
only had a chance to play 3 innings, Nicole pitching two and Ines showing her
stuff in one. Corina had a great game as
catcher, allowing nothing to get by her.
Grace made an excellent line drive catch at short to start off the last
inning. Georgia had a great catch in
right field as well. Nicole hit a triple to start off the first inning and then
Grace hit a single to get the run in.
Ines, Elisa, and Corina also made it home. The score was 5-4.
From Coach Washington
It was an amazing game! I am very proud of the Varsity
Softball team. They are progressing tremendously. I am proud of them because
Langley is known for their excellence in Volleyball and Softball. Langley's
team plays fast-pitch for an AAU league. So for ours girls to play the way they
play was outstanding!!! I’m not a coach who worries about the run, but I'm
interested in our overall performance. The ending score was 6-3. McKenna
pitched another great game, she struck out 6 people. That is very difficult to
do at this age. I made some changes for the game so everyone could have an
opportunity to play in different positions. Starting with Sarah, she normally
plays the short center fielder, she played the back catcher’s position and
loved it. Carlota played first base and caught every ball that was thrown to
her. The coach from Langley came up to me and said, "I thought your girls
never played before?" That was a huge compliment because we gave them a
run for their money!!!! Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities!
Without a humble and reasonable confidence in your own powers, you cannot be
successful or happy.
From Coach Powers and Coach Clubbs
The JV Baseball team had a good week on the diamond. A come
from behind win at Norwood on Tuesday was led by a great pitching effort from
Will and Patrick. Steady catching by Henry and timely hitting in the late
innings helped us take a 4-2 victory. On Thursday, we lost a good game to The
Heights, 6-1. Alex pitched a superb game in relief and shut down The Heights
hot hitting. The boys hung in there with a good team that played very well in
the field and at the plate.
From Coach Maloney and Coach McLean
The Varsity Baseball team had a big win against Georgetown
Day this week at historic Povich Field. Luke and Chris pitched very well with
excellent support from Jack behind the plate. Chris and JD had big hits. Zach
laid down a perfect suicide squeeze bunt which scored a run and Andy had a
great bunt hit as well. There were lots of stolen bases by our boys. Fielding
was terrific with Ned leading the way. The boys are really playing as a team!
