First Softball wins Founders League Championship

Westminster Softball clinched the Founders League title by defeating Ethel Walker 8-7 during an exciting home game on May 16. Katie Nielsen '18 drove in the winning run in extra innings, while Catherine Crawley '16, Kaitlyn McCausland '16 and Emily Samar '18 had two hits apiece in the game, and Samar added three RBI. The victory marked the eighth time in ten years the Martlets have won the highly competitive league. Westminster followed by defeating Marianapolis on May 18 during another tight, extra-inning contest. Brenna Monroe '17 struck out thirteen Marianapolis batters and also provided a great deal of offense with four hits and three RBI.
 
The Martlets’ 14-0 regular season record led to the no. 1 seed and a home stand in the Class A Western New England Tournament on May 21-22. In the semifinal contest against Loomis Chaffee, Monroe pitched a gem and the team played flawless defense to win 7-0. Crawley and Mackenzie Griffith '17 had multiple hits in the game, while Samar and Ashlee White '18 drove in key runs. In the championship game on Sunday, the Martlets faced Williston Northampton, who played very well and had a magnificent pitching effort to defeat Westminster 5-1. In a game featuring superb hurlers on both sides, the home team had difficulty getting on base and manufacturing runs. Monroe turned in another gritty performance on the mound for the Black and Gold, while Griffith and Samar delivered hits to drive in a run. Samar completed her terrific season with exceptional work behind the plate. It was the last game for Westminster's two outstanding Senior Captains, Catherine Crawley and Kaitlyn McCausland. During their four years at Westminster, the softball team has achieved an incredible record of 65 wins and three losses, and won three Class A Western New England Championships. Kudos to the Captains and cheers to First Softball on another great season.
