HW Varsity Softball Earns First Win of Season with Big Win Over Ambridge
On a gorgeous evening here in Hopewell the Varsity Softball Team came out hungry after last week’s loss to Union taking a decisive win against Ambridge 14-4.
The bats were hot today totaling 14 hits for Hopewell with four players with 3+ hits. Kara Barkovich had a game of redemption after a tough start last week as she went 3-4. Katkich, Mann, and Ramaley each put up three hits next to Barkovich to lead the HW Vikings. Kara Barkovich tripled in the first, singled in the sixth and crushed an inside the park home run in the fifth.
HSN has the post game interview with Kara:
