The No. 21 Wamogo softball team beat No. 12 Terryville 1-0 in a Class S first round game at Terryville High School on Tuesday afternoon. Here's the
full game story.
The Warriors will play No. 5 Stafford on Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Stafford High School. The Bulldogs made quick work of No. 28 Westbrook, 9-0.
Wamogo was able to get past Terryville thanks to the pitching of freshman Malia Rebot (complete game, 0 runs, 5 hits, 6 strikeouts, 2 walks). Rebot got out of a bases loaded jam in the second inning, then escaped first and second with one out in the sixth. Warrior head coach Scott Marcucio went to Rebot instead of senior Brooke Bittel because of Rebot's previous performance against the Kangaroos. In a May 2 game in Litchfield, Rebot struck out 17 in a 3-2 loss. Rebot, who normally throws her rise ball pretty often, relied on her changeup Tuesday to get Terryville's hitters out.
Terryville junior Jamie Bridge threw a gem. She gave up just two hits, struck out 14, and walked none. Unfortunately for Bridge and the Kangaroos, one of those hits was to Warrior senior Kerri Stolle, who turned a good pitch on the outside corner into a triple, then scored when the relay throw went out of play.
Wamogo improved to 12-9 with the win while Terryville finished the season at 13-8.
