It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Hackley had no problem doing just that on Monday. They put the hurt on the Marymount Lions with a sharp 12-1 win. The result was nothing new for Hackley, who have now won 13 games by six runs or more so far this season.
Andrea Hegarty was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and only two hits while striking out 18 over seven innings pitched. Hegarty has been consistent recently: she hasn't pitched less than five innings every time she's pitched this season. Hegarty was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs, eight RBI, and a double while going 3-for-4.
In other batting news, Ellie Firsenbaum was incredible, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and a triple. Gabrielle Paes was another key contributor, scoring four runs while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
The victory was the sixth in a row for Hackley, bringing their record for this year to 15-1.
As of now, neither they nor Marymount have any future games scheduled.
