Softball
Hopkinton 7, Somersworth 3
Key athletes: Aurelia Salce was hot at the plate going 4-4 with a 2-run over the fence HR. Brooke Pickering and Zoey Freitas were responsible for the other runs as they went 2-4 and 3-4 respectively. Avery Loew and Jacey Marchand combined for the win, striking out 7, scattering 4 hits and walking 2.
Key Moment: It was 4-2 heading into the 7th and Salce helped us all relax a bit as she blasted a 2-run dinger.
Coach’s quote: “The players worked hard today in the heat and despite little pre-game warm-ups, they battled through to get the win. It was great to have Freitas back from injury. We have missed her a lot!” – Elizabeth Kovar, Hopkinton
