SOUTHWICK – Thus far this season, the Southwick High School softball team looks like a true juggernaut not to be reckoned with.
Southwick mashed the competition – this time the opponent was Sabis – 13-0 Thursday at home. The Rams had the bats going, and sophomore pitcher Emily Lachtara dominated again on the mound.
Lachtara tossed a two-hitter in a six-inning affair. She recorded 12 strikeouts, and yielded one free pass.
Syd Rogers (3-for-4, double, 2 runs, RBI), Jenn Yelin (2-4, double, 2 runs, 3 RBIs), Alyssa Kelleher (double, 3 RBIs), and Tori DellaGiustina (triple, 3 walks, 2 RBIs) led the hit parade.
JV RESULTS
Eighth-grader Brittany Penland blasted a grand slam and home run to lead the Southwick JV softball team to a 21-1 rout of Sabis. The Rams were coming off a game in which they clobbered Palmer, 25-0. The big hit in that game was also a Penland grand slam.
