- Championship Game
Simsbury 4, West Hartford 2. In a hard-fought tournament final, Simsbury scored first in the second inning to take a 2-0 lead on Grace Amato's RBI-double and Kristen Sloan's run scoring single. Maureen Martucci's 2-run double in the fourth inning tied the score 2-2. With one out in the top of the 7th inning, Sean Glenn reached base on an infield hit. Olivia Egan followed and reached on an error, advancing to second (Glenn to third) on an interference call where a spectator touched the ball when it was still in play. They then both scored on consecutive singles by Kathleen Conway and Molly Waterman, making the score 4-2. In the bottom of the seventh, West Hartford advanced the leadoff batter to second base. The next batter hit a ball just foul of first base which was caught by Alyssa Ascare, who threw to Maddy McManus to double the runner off second. Winning pitcher Kathleen Conway then fielded a ground ball and threw to Abbey Williams at first for the final out and a 4-2 victory.
