WRC Rematch
When it came to the Western Reserve Conference championship last season, the only names on anyone's lips were Madison and Riverside. The two softball juggernauts boasted amazing seasons and clashed for the crown; an honor that would fall to the Blue Streaks.
The Beavers and Streaks met again this past Wednesday where Madison sent a strong message that they would be aiming to repeat their 2016 success. The final scoreline read 12-6 in favor of the defending champions.
After throwing three innings where she racked up four strike outs, pitcher Alyssa Rose was credited with the win.
While allowing six runs was never in the game-plan, it was an irrelevant point once the offense kicked into gear. The Blue Streaks combined for sixteen hits including three hits apiece from Liz Montgomery, Alyssa Rose and Gabby Blackford.
Montgomery, team captain and sole senior, attributed their success to the level of competition Riverside brings each year. "They're one of the better teams in the conference," she said. "We knew we had to come out hitting."
Sophomore Jordan Pasalaqua only recorded one hit in the game, but made up for lack of quantity with quality. Her second inning triple scored two runs and established dominant Madison lead that would carry them to the finish.
The two teams will meet up again on Monday April 10th when the Beavers will travel to Madison. First pitch is at 4:30pm. Come out and support the Streaks!
