The Jonathan Law softball team is ready to start fresh this season and exceed the level of play from last year – even with a few changes.

Captain Kacy O’Connor said the changes will affect the team’s performance.

“Our pitching rotation looks a little different this year,” O’Connor said. “We also have good freshmen coming up that have played well so far.”

Junior Gina Boccamazzo is also excited about some of the team’s newest members.

“We lost a few valuable players last year because they were seniors,” Boccamazo said. “But we do have really good freshman in Maddie Lula and Sarah Paulus.”

So far this season, the Lady Lawmen are 2-1 with wins over Lyman Hall and Platt Tech and a loss to West Haven.

Captain Skylar Bender says the hitting rotation looks better this year compared to last year.

“We have been batting every single practice,” Bender said. “We have put a lot of emphasis on it.”

Head coach Ms. Blude said the team has higher expectations this year.

“This year we have higher expectations because we have a great group of girls that like to play together,” Blude said. “This is a great group of girls.”

Law plays Foran on Monday as the team gets ready for its big rivalry game of the year.
