There was no shortage of scoring for the second straight game between the Washington-Liberty Generals and Yorktown Patriots, with final scores more like football than girls high-school softball contests.
Yorktown (2-2) won each, this spring’s clash 20-9 and the final meeting between the Arlington rivals, 22-8, last spring.
There were runs pretty much scored in each inning of this year’s March 21 event, with host Yorktown taking the lead for good by plating four runs in the first, then three each in the second and third.
A number of Yorktown players had productive games with the bat, led by Margaret Flannery-Goodman with a two-run homer, a two-run single, four hits total, a stolen base, and a sacrifice bunt.
Sophia Giambalvo had six RBI, including a three-run homer, a two-run single and an RBI single; Noa Kammerman had a two-run double; Kaiya Ovando had a two-run single, a sacrifice fly, a double and another single and RBI groundout; Kassen Foreman doubled and singled; Kelly Chmiel had two singles and three RBI; and Malena Cardinale doubled.
Chmiel and Samantha Parker did the pitching for Yorktown.
For Washington-Liberty (1-4), Celia Anbinder hit a solo homer and walked with the bases loaded, Paula Lopez-Landeo had an RBI single and double, Kaitlyn Fado had two singles, two RBI and stole a base and Lilah Hoffman and Geneva Webber singled.
Yorktown defeated Westfield, 6-2, in its previous game. Ovando homered; Foreman had an RBI single; Kammerman had an RBI double; Giambalvo, Audrey Pocrass and McKenna Gurgo singled; and Chmiel had two sacrifice bunts.
Parker pitched the final two innings to get the win in relief.
