DELAWARE LEAGUE – It was a fantastic run for two Delaware League softball teams, each one winning away from an advance to the sectional title game last Thursday, but it wasn't in the cards.
Seventh-seeded R/G lost to third-seeded Richfield Springs 8-6 in semifinal action last Thursday, while Windham fell to the top seed.
R/G took an early lead, scoring three runs in the top of the first before RS scored three of its own runs in the top of the fourth to tie it three all. R/G scored three more runs in the top of the fifth to retake the lead, but RS scored five runs in the bottom of the fifth to lead by two and go on for the win.
R/G pitcher Mikayla Wright struck out seven RS batters over her six innings inside the circle. Wright and teammates Ryleigh Goodchild and Kelly Kallenberg each doubled in the action.
R/G finishes its season at 12-9 overall and tied with Windham and Charlotte Valley, all with 5-1 league records.
Windham fell to the eventual sectional champions Deposit Hancock 16-1 in their semifinal game last Thursday. Deposit-Hancock was the top seed and went on to defeat Richfield Springs for the sectional title on Saturday.
In Thursday's action, Hannah Tuttle struck out six D-H batters over six innings and teammate Ashtyn Hansen connected on a pair of hits in the loss. They scored their lone run in the top of the seventh. D-H scored its runs in the second and third innings to go on for the win.
They finished their season at 9-3 overall and tied with Charlotte Valley and Roxbury Gilboa at 5-1 in the Delaware League.
