ATTLEBORO — In a showdown between two of one of the best Division 1 softball groups within the state, Monday’s tilt with King Philip and Bishop Feehan had all of the makings of a traditional.
Then once more, the host Shamrocks felt that possibly an in depth sport is usually a little overrated.
Feehan jumped out with six runs within the first inning and had eight earlier than King Philip scored in any respect, and the Shamrocks by no means regarded again in a 12-3 win.
With the victory, Feehan improved to 3-1 on the season, whereas KP fell to 5-1.
“Yeah, I didn’t know what to expect,” Feehan assistant coach Jenna Stringfellow mentioned. “They always give us a really good game, and I knew it was going to be a tough game. So the fact that we got out there in the first inning and scored the way we did, I was really happy with that.”
After Feehan pitcher Mylee Ramer set the Warriors down so as within the high of the primary, the Shamrocks went proper to work. The first six Shamrocks reached base. Madolyn Coupal, Makayla Burr, McKenzie Faherty every had hits to get it going, and Madi Narducci had a two-run single to right-center. Feehan batted round in that first inning, and was up, 6-0, when the mud settled.
If the Shamrocks had been going to be unfocused with April trip, they positive didn’t appear to be it.
“They know that spring break’s not a real break,” Stringfellow mentioned. “They know that it’s softball. It’s fun for them because they know they don’t have to worry about school during spring break. They can just focus on the sport and having a good time and doing our best.”
In the second inning, Faherty led off with a base hit to left. That introduced up Haley Coupal. She acquired what gave the impression to be a glancing piece of the pitch. It didn’t appear like Coupal had the whole lot of it. But it carried, and carried, and went over the fence in right-center.
“I mishit that ball a little bit,” mentioned Coupal, who scored three runs. “I got a little under it, but I guess I got enough of it and it went over.”
“When she hits them, they’re so high up, you’re like, ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen with that,’ ” Stringfellow mentioned. “She’s been really helpful, not only offensively, defensively, but her leadership is really awesome, too.”
King Philip lastly acquired on the board within the fourth, as Charlotte Raymond, Ava Kelley, and Mia Bennett all had RBI hits to assist reduce the result in 8-3.
But Feehan scored a run within the fifth, plus three extra within the sixth to finish any hopes of a comeback.
