Neshaminy softball coach Sarah Martoccio:
--The league title: “I am incredibly proud of what this team has accomplished this season. To secure at least a share of the league championship in such a talented and competitive league says so much about the character of these girls and the effort they put in every day. This was never about one player or one moment. It was about an entire group buying into each other, working hard together, and refusing to back down from challenges.
“This team has shown resilience all season long. They continued to compete through tough games, pressure situations, and high expectations, and they did it while staying connected as a team. Watching their growth throughout the season has been special, and I am so proud of the way they have represented our school and our program.”

Bensalem coach Dan Schram:
“There is a light in their eyes. Winning is nothing more than a feeling. It can be done. They played their best ball at the end. That’s all we can ask for. Best of luck to Coach Martoccio and Neshaminy in the postseason.”
Up next: Neshaminy – fifth in the latest District 1 6A rankings - awaits its final seed later this week.

PENNSBURY 4, COUNCIL ROCK SOUTH 1
The Falcons wrapped up their end-of-season retribution tour, avenging their mercy rule loss to the Golden Hawks just five days after avenging their mercy rule loss to Council Rock North.
“We knew we weren’t that bad,” Pennsbury coach Frank McSherry said.
He was right.
Tuesday’s win was Pennsbury’s 10th in a row since their 11-0 loss to Rock South on April 14.
“Like coach (Ralph) Funk, our JV coach, said, ‘I think those three losses really spurred you guys on, and I think it did,” McSherry said. “We were finding ourselves – it sounds cliché, but we have a freshman pitcher (Paige Fidishun), and that’s part of it.
“I think it took her a little time to grow, and our bats came alive, and we’re playing really good defense.”
The Falcons took a 1-0 lead in the first and added single runs in the third, fifth and seventh. Jenna Thompson smashed a one-out solo home run in the third inning, and in the fifth, Jaylynn Rodweller led off the inning with a solo home run to put the Falcons on top 3-0.
Rock South got one of those runs back in the bottom of the inning when Margot McLean - who singled to lead off the inning and moved up to third on a Falcon miscue – scored on Jenna Pesapane’s sac fly.
The Falcons added a run in the top of the seventh when – with two outs - Maddie McClung came off the bench, hit a double and scored on Ryen Rittersbach’s single to left for the 4-1 win.
Paige Fidishun notched the win,
“She really pitched a great game,” McSherry said. “She really hit her spots, and she was painting (the corners), and that’s what you want to see.”
By the numbers: Pennsbury: Bella Morales (3-for-4, 1R), Jenna Thompson (2-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs, 1R), Jaylynn Rodweller (HR, 1RBI, 1R), Maddie McClung (1-for-1, 2B,1R)
Paige Fidishun (W) (7.0 IP, 3H, 1R, 0ER, 2BB, 8K)
Key inning: Top of the first – Bella Morales led off with a line drive single to left, stole second and scored on Jenna Thompson’s RBI single to center, spotting the Falcons a lead they would never lose.
Up next: Pennsbury is third in the latest District 1 6A rankings while Council Rock South is 13th.  Rock South will close out its regular season with a home game against Council Rock North.
Pennsbury                101 010 1   4-9-1

COUNCIL ROCK NORTH 14, HARRY S TRUMAN 3
The Indians rebounded from a three-game losing streak, notching a much-needed win that takes them one step closer to winning a share of the division title. Neshaminy – with its win Tuesday – clinched a share of the title, and a win over Council Rock South separates the Indians from earning a share.
The Indians led 4-1 heading into the bottom of the third inning when they erupted for six runs to blow the game wide open.
Kayla Ripper and Zoe Hornstein’s three-hit efforts led the Indians.
Senior Chelsea Seiler hit a personal milestone when she collected the 100th hit of a stellar career, joining teammate Kayla Ripper in the 100-hit club.
Emily Dziekan earned the win in the circle while Lucy Mills closed it out with a scoreless fifth.
By the numbers: Council Rock North: Kayla Ripper (3-for 4, 2RBIs, 2R), Zoe Hornstein 3-for-3, 3RBIs, 1R), Alison Bodick (2-for-4, 2R), Liv Schlindwein (2-for-3, 2RBIs, 2R), Chelsea Seiler (2B, 1RBI)
Emily Dziekan (W) (4.0 IP, 6H, 3R, 0ER, 0BB, 6K)  (1-for-3 2RBIs, 2R), Lucy Mills (1.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 2K)
Harry S Truman:  Emma Keeley (2-for-3, 2B), Braelyn Horan (2-for-3), Skyler Mahler (1-for-3, 2B, 1RBI, 2R), Addison DaSilva (2-for-3, 1RBI)
Key inning: Bottom of third – The Indians blew the game wide open with a six-run third. Maddie Reinhardt drew a leadoff walk, and Alison Bodick followed with a single. With one out, Zoe Hardy’s single plated Reinhardt. A run scored on Emily Dziekan’s fielder’s choice, and Liv Schlindwein followed with a single that plated a pair. With two outs, Zoe Hornstein singled home a run, and Chelsea Seiler’s double plated the sixth run and put the Indians on top 10-1.
Council Rock North coach John Engelhardt:
“Our team picked up a much-needed win today against a well-coached opponent that always plays us tough. I was really proud of the energy, positivity, and focus our girls showed from the first pitch to the final out.”
--Seiler hits milestone: “It was also a special day for Chelsea Seiler, who recorded the 100th hit of her high school career. Chelsea has been on fire lately and continues to be a huge spark for our offense.”
--Props: “With a couple players battling injuries, we turned to utility player Emily Dziekan for her first start of the season because we felt she could provide another strong bat in the lineup. Emily stepped up in a big way, pitching well and also delivering at the plate.
“Ripper, Hornstein, and Bodick all had big days offensively and helped lead the way in an important team win.”
Up next: Council Rock North will close out it regular season on the road at Council Rock South Thursday.

SOL Colonial Division

PENNRIDGE 3, CENTRAL BUCKS WEST 2
The Rams eked out a win in what was a classic pitchers’ duel between Madison Heinrich and West’s Kendall Kornuszko.
“What a game,” Pennridge coach Crystalrae States said. “It was a pitching duel with both team’s defenses making great plays.
“To watch them make the last out and celebrate was really fun. It’s a testament to the work they have been putting in and all the close games that didn’t go our way. Super proud of them.” 

The Rams took a 1-0 lead in the third on Jules Pliszka’s bunt, and they added a run in the fourth when Emersyn Lesher, who doubled, scored on Maeghan Holberg’s bunt single.
A single run the fifth put the Rams on top 3-0, but the Bucks made things real interesting when Hailey Worthington delivered a two-run home run in the bottom of the inning. That 3-2 score stood the rest of the way.
Heinrich notched the complete game win, allowing just three hits and two runs.
By the numbers: Pennridge: Emersyn Lesher (2-for-3, 2B, 1R), Meghan Holberg (1-for-3, 1RBI)
Madison Heinrich (W) (7.0 IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 5K)
Central Bucks West: Hailey Worthington (1-for-3, HR, 2RBIs, 1R)
Key inning: Top of fifth – Payton Keyser and Jules Pliszka reached base on back-to-back errors. Keyser advanced to third on a fly ball out to right field and scored on Madison Heinrich’s ground out, giving Lady Rams a 3-0 lead.
Pennridge coach Crystalrae States:
--The win: “Our outfield was flawless today — Emersyn (Lesher), Jadyn ((Gulbinski) and Brooke (Bennett) made it look easy. We executed some small ball and exploited a couple of miscues to hold onto the lead. Madison (Heinrich) threw a three-hitter today and held steady the whole game.”
Central Bucks West coach Mike Daher:
--The game: "This was a difficult loss for us against a very competitive team in Pennridge. They played us very tough both times this year. I think they are a well-coached team who has really improved as the season went on this year. We did not hit the ball well today and had some timely errors that led to some runs.
“Kendall Kornuszko pitched a very efficient game in defeat and really kept us in the game until the end. I feel like we kept battling until the end of the game, but we just could not get the hit that we needed to pull this one out. Hailey Worthington also pitched in a big two-run home run that got us to within a run in the fifth inning, but we could not put a run on the board in the final two innings. We have to just see if we can clean up some things defensively going into the District 1 playoffs and if we can get our bats going during the playoffs.”

Up next: Pennridge will travel to Garnet Valley for a non-league game Wednesday. Central Bucks West is 21st in the latest District 1 6A power rankings.

SOL Liberty Division

PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH 3, UPPER DUBLIN 2 (9 innings)
It would have been impossible to write a better script than the one that unfolded with PW and UD sharing the top spot heading into the league finale for both teams on Tuesday.
The game certainly did not disappoint as it came down to the ninth inning with the Colonials winning it on a walk-off squeeze bunt by Zoey Robinson that plated Maddie Swift with the dramatic game-winner.
“Great team victory - these girls should be proud of their resiliency and grit to pull out the win,” PW coach Mike Perez said. “It was such a great atmosphere.
“Last game of the season, playing for the league title against a really hot Upper Dublin team and one of the best pitchers around - and we executed when we needed to to come out with a dramatic win.
Huge thanks to our Life Skills class for cheering us on, our fans, the wonderful staff who came out, and the baseball team that cheered us on from center field.”
The teams spent the first eight innings exchanging runs. The Colonials struck first when Swift, who had doubled, scored on a ground out. PW led 2-0 after freshman Lori Flannery hit a solo home run in the fifth.
In the sixth, Ava Renye and Kyla Garrison opened the inning with back-to-back singles. Renye scored on a PW miscue, and Garrison scored on Kate Brannigan’s single to knot the score 2-2. Neither team scored again until the ninth.
The pitchers from both sides – Garrison for UD and Liv Brodzinski and Emma Keely for PW – kept their teams in it until the end. Each team managed just six hits.
By the numbers: Plymouth Whitemarsh: Emily Dobrowolski (2-for-4, 1RBI), Maddie Swift (2B, 1R), Lori Flannery (HR, 1RBI, 1R)
Liv Brodzinski (5.0 IP, 5H, 2R, 1ER, 0BB, 5K), Emma Keely (W) (4.0 IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 7K)
Upper Dublin: Kate Brannigan (2-for-4, 1RBI), Kyla Garrison (L) (8.1 IP, 6H, 3R, 2ER, 3BB, 5K) (2-for-4, 1R),
Key inning: Bottom of ninth – Maddie Swift was safe on an error to lead off the inning, and one out later, Emily Dobrowolski laid down a bunt. An error on the play allowed Swift to advance to third and Dobrowolski to second. That set the stage for Zoey Robinson’s squeeze bunt that resulted in the game-winner.”
Plymouth Whitemarsh coach Mike Perez:
--The game:
“We knew, facing Kyla, runs would be at a premium.  I thought we did a nice job being selective, limited our strikeouts, and playing effective small ball to win the game in the ninth.” 
--Props: “Maddie Swift played a great game today - defensively she’s been so reliable all year for us. And today she ripped a double to help us get our first run and then, in the ninth, she was able to get on base, move to third on aggressive baserunning, and scored on a walk-off squeeze. 
Emily Dobrowolski also had a great game at the plate. She’s the most unselfish player I’ve ever coached and does whatever she can to win games. In the second inning, with one out and a runner on third base, she hit a grounder to first base to get us on the board. In the seventh, she dropped a great bunt and stole a base to put us a position to win. And then in the bottom of the ninth with a runner on, she put down a great push bunt to get a runner to third and even advanced to second base herself. This led to the great pressure-filled squeeze bunt by Zoey Robinson to win the game and the league title.
“Shout out to our two pitchers: Liv Brodzinski got out of a couple jams early but really settled in through five innings. And Emma Keely pitched the last four innings, giving up just one hit and striking out seven to earn the win. 
Another big hit was by freshman Lori Flannery who smacked a home run down the left field line in the fifth.”
Up next: Plymouth Whitemarsh – ninth in the latest District 1 6A rankings - will host Springfield-Delco in a non-league scrimmage game Friday. Upper Dublin is fourth in the latest District 1 5A rankings.
