From the South Milwaukee School District … apologies on the dates. “Last night” means Wednesday.
ROCKET SOFTBALL
The Varsity Fastpitch had a thrilling come-from-behind victory last night over Greenfield to push their Woodland Conference mark to 2-0 on the young season. This game had everything from key strikeouts by standout pitcher Abby Mahsem (11) to timely hits by freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors alike…a total team contribution.
With the new WIAA rule in place requiring an outfield fence, the Rockets saw their first 2 home runs of the season with an early 2-run HR by Maygen Marcell (10). After trailing 5-2 late in the game, a 2-run HR by Alyssa Sadowski (11) (scoring Maddie Veres (9)) capping a 4 -run inning to put the Rockets up 6-5. Despite not getting a ball out of the infield in the top of the 7th inning, Greenfield was able to tie the game and send the game to extra innings.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Rockets loaded the bases with Alyssa Sadowski starting it off with a walk. Dani Schwanke (12) hit a solid double to the right field fence pushing Alyssa to third. Melaney Wewers (12) had an infield single to load the bases, setting the stage for Isabelle Parello (9) to line a single through to left field to drive Sadowski home for the winning run. It really was one of the more exciting regular season games I’ve seen in a long time! Nice job Rockets!
The Rockets travel to Wauwatosa West HS (JV at Whitman Middle School across the freeway) on Thursday and to Greendale on Friday to take on the Panthers at 4:30pm (Varsity at the HS & JV at the Community Center). Good luck Rockets!
