The Jonathan Law softball team recently finished an extremely successful spring season.

The team’s final record was 17-8 and they made it into the Class M state quarterfinals. Seniors Cali Jolley and Gina Boccamazzo were selected to the All-State team.

“Our biggest accomplishment this season was sweeping Foran this season for the first time in many years and knocking the #1 seed, Valley Regional High School, out of the tournament,” head coach Mrs. Blude said. “This was a huge win for us as a team since they beat us 11-2 during the regular season.”

When playing Valley Regional High School to get to quarterfinals, freshman Courtney Hanson got into a rundown between first and second to distract the infielders and allow freshman Grace Cantor to score the winning run.

“Our biggest accomplishment was making it to state quarterfinals for the second year in a row,” sophomore Alexis Neider said.

Junior Emily Morey’s favorite memory was the team’s upset of Valley Regional.

“I would say that our teams biggest accomplishment would definitely beating Valley Regional High School in our second round of states,” Morey said. “It was one of our best games and the intensity and energy was amazing.”

Morey’s biggest personal accomplishment was being able to work her way back up to where she was last season after her batting slump. Also, she hit a home run in the team’s scrimmage against Fairfield Ludlowe.

“The goal for next season is of course to win but we will have many new faces having to replace five starting seniors,” Blude said. “Girls will have to move around and play different positions so we will have two weeks preseason to make decisions and put together the best possible combos.”

Blude hopes the girls work hard in the off-season and hoping the girls fight all year to come back way ahead of where they left off individually.

“My goal for next season is that we all work as hard as we did this season to make it as far next year,” Neider said.
