Like McMahon, Torrington also got a great game from a two-way player: Sophia Pergola. She kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 14 over six innings pitched. Pergola has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Dylan Juliano, who got on base in three of her five plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. Grace Pruchnicki was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.
Torrington now has a winning record of 2-1. As for McMahon, their victory (their first of the season) made their record 1-4.
Both the two teams just can't seem to miss. McMahon has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10 hits per game. However, it's not like Torrington struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance. Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
