The 10U Golden Dragons saved their best opponents for last - the 10U Green Ghouls. The Sturbridge girls faced off Wednesday night at Town Barn for their final game of the season - and what a game it was!! Ali L commanded the mound for the Dragons while Piper T and Fiona D split the job for the Ghouls. All 3 pitchers were throwing the heat, racking up strike out after strike out but a few players were able to put the bat on the ball… Sophia P was the first to collect 2 RBIs for the Dragons in the 1st inning with a hard grounder to first but then the Ghouls quickly answered back when Fiona hit a nasty grounder up the middle for a double to lead off the 2nd inning, followed by a BOMB of a line drive triple to left center by Piper to bring in Fiona. Lily R hit a grounder to bring in Fiona, tying the game at 2-2. This was definitely the Dragons toughest game of the season by far, but they eventually got on the board again after Sloane R drove in 2 RBIs with a hard single up the middle. Fielding shout outs all go to: London T for her throw from in front of the plate down to first, Fiona D for her glove work at first, Sloane R for being a vacuum at first grabbing nice throws from Ali on the mound and from Mya M at shortstop. The girls gave it their all, and the Ghouls gave them a run for their money, but as the sun went down, the W went to the Dragons, making them 11-0 on the season and UN-DE-FEATED. 😎 🏆 🥎
I know I speak for my fellow coaches when I say that the greatest part of coaching is watching your players develop over the season - it’s always incredible to see the growth and improvement in each. and. every. single. player. We’ve watched these girls learn new positions, dig deep to pitch strike after strike, tweak a swing, block a pitch, catch a fly ball, steal and slide into second base, fire the ball across the diamond, and launch bombs to the outfield. But the absolute best part is to see that smile spread across their faces as they trot in and out of the dugout. So thank you parents, thank you coaches, thank you players, thank you sponsors, and finally, thank you to the SGSL for allowing us to be a part of these players’ softball journeys and for another incredible softball season.
