Congratulations and good luck to Maddie and team!!!! ❤️🖤 Bring it home!!
CONGRATS TO Maddy Matthews and the Lancaster Varsity Softball team going onto the State Championship game today at 11am.
Maddy Matthews pitched 3⅔ perfect innings before a 2-hour, 26-six minute rain delay slowed the Legends. But when play resumed, the sophomore induced two long flyouts to center field to keep the score 3-0 in her team’s favor, and Dimino also picked up where she left off. She stroked a two-RBI single in the top of the fifth to give her team some breathing room.
Saratoga switched pitchers twice in the inning after that, but between walks and a hit batter, there were hits by Ava Konieczny, Dewald, Dowling, Isabella Dimino and Lily Kuzara. Matthews retired the side in the bottom of the sixth to wrap up the game via the 12-run mercy rule.
“You never know what’s going to happen after a rain delay,” Winiatowski said. “It could have gone the other way. It was hot, humid, and their pitcher threw a lot of pitches and got tired. Our pitcher got tired, too.”
Maybe so, but Matthews allowed just two hits and struck out three while walking none and hitting just one batter.
