HW Softball Team Majors Wins 1st Playoff Game

It was a scorcher Tuesday Night when HW Team Majors/Santamaria took on Ambridge in their first youth softball playoff game of the season.

The temperatures were in the 90’s, coolers of ice water, cooling towels and pop up tents were out, to provide as much relief as possible. The forecast called for rain but the only downpour we saw was in the way of runs from Hopewell’s offense as they put on a stellar performance winning 14-3!

In a game with 14 hits and tons of action everyone got in on the fun and we mean everyone. Each player recorded at least one hit for HW with the small exception of Jaina Zito who unfortunately did not get the chance to hit as she was hit by pitches twice.  Instead of boring you with a daunting play by play let’s jump right into the stats for each girls amazing performance as it was a true team effort.

Aubrey Majors (1B, P)- 2 Hits

Lacey Snouffer (C, 3В)- 3 Hits/ 4RBI’s

Madison Santamaria- (P, 1B)- 4 Hits/7RBI’s

HW amassed 8 Doubles tonight lead by Madison Santamaria with 4, Aubrey Majors -2, and Lacey Snouffer/May Taylor with one each. These four players accounted for 12 RBI’s on the night driving the heart of the HW lineup.
