Coaches Corner
"Thanks to Suffolk for coming to play a doubleheader so we were able to play and appreciate our eight seniors. Game one was a bit of a struggle getting our offense going. Suffolk's pitcher kept us off balance to the tune of five hits, with three coming from Alex Lombardo. We also had a few defensive miscues that cost some runs and extended innings. It was great to bounce back in game two behind a strong pitching performance from Lia Nocella, and catcher Francesca Cioffi. Seniors Kat, Syd and Taylor all had multiple hits to spark a 6-1 victory. It was great to send our eight seniors out with a win. They each have been such outstanding ambassadors of Hawk Softball and have given so much of themselves. They made a significant mark on this program and will be missed."-Joyce Maudie
