Softball haunted by final inning losses Experiencing a tough sea- son, the varsity softball team ended with an over-all record of S-16. The roster consisted of one senior, thirteen juniors, and two sophomores. Standouts Cathy Wiberg and Aimee Cal- lanan earned all-conference honors in the outfield and third base, respectively. Endurance was a key factor during the season as several games were decided in the fi- nal innings. HThe season was productive, and we remained competitive. Losing many games in the final inning made it hard to keep our spirit up. Our first regional game was no exception as we dropped to H- F in the final inning, stated Coach Sam Tortorici. Hard work and team effort were also major factors during the season. ul feel as though our team did much better. We had more experience, and it showed in our close games. We worked hard all season which made it hard to lose runs, said Cathy Crimmins, first baseman. The junior-varsity team end- ed with a 14-7 record. SCOREBOARD Opponent T.F. North T.F. North T.F.
