The Coral Shores Lady ’Canes had mixed results on the softball field last week, with a win and a loss bringing their record to a respectable 6-3. Their first game was a four-inning mercy-rule win against Somerset South Homestead on March 31. Pressley Bagwell pitched a one-hitter, striking out two and walking none of the 14 batters she faced. Offensively, Addison Grady led the team with two hits. Caylyn Gwilliam, Alyvia Prince, Chloie Stanley, Kayden Costlow, Mira Jones and Bayley Catarineau had one apiece in the 10-0 win. Two days later, the ’Canes lost to Palmer Trinity 7-0. Stanley and Prince had the only hits for Coral Shores. Bagwell and Prince shared the pitching load, but a hard-hitting Falcons crew came away with the win.
Marathon played one game last week, losing on the road to St. Brendan School in five innings. Madelyn Thornton, Maeve Merryman, Kayla Skaarup and Sutton Sayer doubled and Shaina Robinson singled, but five hits would not be enough to defeat the Sabres. Sayer and Thornton split time in the circle, but St. Brendan’s 13 hits and a slew of errors from the Fins ended with a 20-10 loss for Marathon.
Key West did not see any action last week. The Lady Conchs pick back up April 10 in their quest to hang on to their District 16 title. The 11-4 Conchs finish their regular season April 18, playing the remainder of their schedule at home. District action begins April 27 for the Conchs and Fins; the Hurricanes, who are independent and do not participate in postseason play, will close out their season at home against Marathon on April 21.
