Hopkinton 14, Mascoma 1
Key athletes: Ella-Mai Johnson pitched very well today. (7 Ks, 2 Hits 1 BB). Aurelia Salce was stellar behind the plate, throwing out a runner at second and third on steal attempts. Salce was also hot at the plate, going 4-4 with two triples, a double, a single, 5 RBIs and 2 runs scored.
Key Moment: Hawks broke it open in the third, Boudette led with a walk and battled around the order, scoring 7.
Coach’s quote: “The battery was the difference today. Ella-Mai had good control and Salce kept everything in front of her. It makes a difference when a pitcher can throw and not worry about dirt pitches getting away.” – Elizabeth Kovar, Hopkinton
