U12 DIAMOND CATS ARE TWIN VALLEY CHAMPS
Congratulations go out to the U12 Marlboro Diamond Cat team who went undefeated all season in Twin Valley and then won the championship Friday night. Due to rain during the week they were forced to play a double header on Friday. In the first game the semi finals against Framingham it was a very close game until Marlboro pushed across 6 runs to take an 11 to 5 lead going into the last inning. Framingham was not going away easy as they pushed across 4 quick runs to cut it to 11 to 9 but that was all they would get as the game ended on a great catch by Maddy at 1st base.
The 2nd game was against the 12B west winner Hopedale. Hopedale came out strong and pushed a run across in the first inning. Again this game stayed close for 2 or 3 innings until Marlboro pushed across multiple runs to take a 12 to 5 lead going into the final inning. With Reagan on the mound she ended the game on strikeout to seal the championship. Great pitching by Myah, Anika and Reagan was the key in both games.
