HW Softball 12U Levels Ambridge Headed to Quarterfinals!

There were two big wins yesterday for our Hopewell Youth Softball Teams, the 10U – Santamaria/Majors Team pulled out an amazing walk off win against a good Southside team that would not give up. The grit and determination from both teams in that game was exactly what you hope for when watching a developmental league progress over an entire season.

Also, not to be diminished by the walk of win was a decisive win by the 12U Gold Team in their Quarterfinals matchup against Ambridge.

Hopewell got on the board in the first inning when Gianna Rossi tripled, Abby Babinsack doubled, Addie Gray doubled, and Gabbie Gray grounded out, each scoring one run. Abby Babinsack was not done in the first she had a monster game and drove in seven runs on four hits leading the team production for Hopewell. Abby tripled in the second scoring three, tripled in the fifth scoring three, doubled in the first scoring one, and tripled in the fourth scoring one.

The scoring continued in the second for Hopewell with five runs on four hits, hit production came from Abby Babinsack, Izzy Mutkus, and Liliana Katcher, Hopewell went on to score another seven runs on two hits in the top of the fifth inning outpacing the Ambridge bats with 13 hits in the game.

Abby Babinsack was the starting pitcher for Hopewell she had an excellent game only giving up four runs on three hits in three innings, with an impressive five strikeouts.

With this decisive win from the 12U Hopewell Team they go into the Quarterfinals with the confidence that they will command their bracket.

Next game for 12U – Holiday is Tonight against the first seed New Brighton on their home field.

Good Luck Hopewell – Roll Vikes!
