High school softball in the Lower Hudson Valley

John Jay 14, Tappan Zee 3

May
13

What started off as a good pitchers duel turned ended with a 13 run fourth inning with the Indians winning 14-3 at Tappan Zee High School. Last Thursday at John Jay, the Indians won 2-1.

After the Dutchies get out to a three run lead; the Indians sent up 16 to the plate capped off by a three-run home run to left center field by Indians second baseman Jackie Finn. She had an RBI single earlier in the inning.

The Indians six through nine hitters were extremely productive. They went a combined 4 for 10 with four runs scored, five RBI, and a double.

Gaby Torzilli was her usual productive self allowing one earned run, three hits, and struck out nine. She also was able to help herself at the plate going 1 for 5 with an RBI in that fourth inning.

The Dutchies did have the lead early thanks to Brittni Alexander’s 1 for 2, two runs, and stole another three bases. Right as the game began Alexander’s first at bat of the game proved to be big cause she was able to sneak the ball past short and third. Then she came around to score on a Kayla Meyer ground out.

After that fourth inning, it was good to see Tayla Gardner finish her day in the fifth innning on her own terms with the strikeout of Julie Kilmberg. Kellie Yano did a good job of not letting the Indians score pitching two scoreless innings and striking out two.

In other Rockland News: North Rockland avenges the April 30 loss to Suffern by winning 2-1 over at North Rockland, Samantha Marshall and Megan Jacob each had an RBI while Heather Hansen was the only Red Raider to have any hits and one of them was a triple. Samantha Welsh had another strong outing allowing a run, three hits, three walks, and struck out 10 for the win. Danielle Conklin drove in the lone run for the Mounties.
In the Clarkstown North vs. South rivalry game, Lauren DiBarba and Jordan Kapnick each had an RBI for the Rams in the 4-2 win over the Vikings. Katie Morelli who has pitched very well as of late allowed two earned runs, eight hits and struck out seven for the Vikings.

    Does anyone know the records of the teams up north and how did Ketcham,Arlington and JJ East Fishkill do against each other?

    WPFAN –

    Unfortunately, trying to track down records on those three teams is very difficult.

    WPFAN According to the stats on varsity central…RCK 5-2-1. Arlington 7-5. JJEF 5-1. Neither team that I can tell by the stats has played each other. Not sure how accurate the records are.

  4. NR Softball

    JJ EF
    Overall Record: 6 – 6 – 0

    Hi everyone,

    This info is pretty accurate on the North League teams, before games played yesterday. I was bored/curious too, so I contacted the reporter who covers them. He was very nice. This just proves I have way too much time on my hands.

    Arlington: 12-5

    Ketcham: 9-2-1

    Jay-EF: 9-3.

    Have a nice day.

    Thanks for your help but I am unsure if the reporter is correct. Varsity cental has JJ at 7-5 with only one league loss. After looking on the POughkeepsie Journal, the also have 3 other league losses. They might have someting like 8 losses. I know they lost to Carmwl and Ketcham twice.

    Also unsure which record on Jay is right. The reporter says they are 9-3 but their own website says 6-6 but I question this site also because it says they lost to Yonkers 16-2? Is that even possible?

    WP,

    Yes there is alot of uncertainty about them. I agree with you that it is probably a mistake on their own sight too.

    As Tony said on his newest post, we will all have to wait on the seeding meeting to know for sure.

    Tony, I hope your not mad that I cheated on the Journal News to find out:)

    I think the reporter that I contacted is pretty close to accurate. I hope I didn’t open the floodgates on him though for a bunch of us calling and e-mailing him (he was really helpful and was nice enough to take the time out to respond to me:)
