Rumor has it, Marissa Braito (‘18) is up playing at the one and only Bing! Much like her teammate Claire, Riss was also struck down with an outlandish affliction. Nevertheless, she keeps her spirit up by showing all of NCAA softball the importance of ~eatin’ good~ after lift #yum

What is 2016 state champ/2017 runner up league champ/2017 pitcher of the year up to now? Claire O’Brien (‘17) is grinding up at Hamilton College, where she hauls balls with her claw nowadays. #onceaspartanalwaysaspartan

First day of no softball has me like

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

Little dribbler hit to the hot corner. Ball is fumbled, recovered, and thrown (a bit off target) to the receiver, but don’t worry! Gabby channels her inner stretch Armstrong and reeeeeeaaaches to catch the ball and get the out. #footballlingo #gopackgo

Riley in left tracks down a “big” hit if I do say so myself.

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

Double doodie. Batter hits a double.

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

Gabby shows some athleticism and scurries over to foul territory to snag a pop fly to cop the first out of the inning. I guess the extra running yesterday helped!!

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

Uh oh spaghetti-o. Lead off batter for trinity hits a long home run. Spartans still up by 1 tho

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

And that concludes the top of the first. Spartans have a two run lead. Let’s hold them!!

Riley and Lizzy with a pair of walks. 👯‍♀️

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

Kramer puts the balls into play and puts an immense amount of pressure on the defense. As a result, there is a throwing error by the third baseman and Lauren does some major running and comes all the way around to score. She’ll be coming around the diamond when she comes.

LuLu with an RBI single to put the Spartans on the board in the first. Spartans up 0-1

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

1 out. Runner on third... Gabby walks up to the plate... steps into the box... steps out of the box... mops her forehead... runs her left index finger along her forehead... wipes it on her pants leg... all the while the pitcher and everybody else are waiting 👀

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

Throw from the catcher is a bitttttt upstairs. Gianna advances to third. #onestepcloser

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

Woah! That was some wild pitch! Gianna advances to second to put herself in scoring position. Let’s bring her in!

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

Gianna leads off with a walk! Ya need baserunners to score some runs! #babysteps🚶🏻‍♀️

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

Since SHA is the away team, we get to jump out and get some hits nice and early! Let’s start us off Gi!

[SHA Varsity Softball @softball_sha]

Good afternoon fans! Here we are on this terrific Thursday afternoon as your lady Spartans face off against the Titans of Holy Trinity in the first round on playoffs! It is 67 degrees and cloudy- a perfect day for some spartan softball.
