SPORTS UPDATE: From the desk of Ms. Sullivan: The Girls Softball Team won another game
against Eastern Middle School on Tuesday by a score of 15-8. The girls in the 4th inning
scored a total of 8 points with all batters batting in that inning, excellent hitting ladies. Dana
Tandoc pitched great by striking out 13 batters during the game. We played as a team by
having a player from Eastern hit over the head of our Left Fielder, Stephanie Matamoros,
which relayed the ball in to our pitcher Dana, who then threw the ball to Alizah Francois our
catcher to get the player out before she was able to score, what a wonderful play this was.
Our next home game will be today after school, come out and see all the excitement and root
on the girls to another VICTORY against Key Middle School. We hope to see you there!!!
