PUTNAM — May 20 was Senior Might at Owen Tarr Field for the Putnam Softball Lady Clippers and they celebrated with a 5-4 win over archrival Ellis Tech.
Team seniors include. Amanda Irwin, Dawn Cerasiello and Stephanie Baumuller.
The Lady Clippers were led by sophomore Julie Therrien who went 3-4 at the plate. She drove in the winning run with a single to right center field driving in Megan Heaney with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning. “What a game,” said coach Steve Smith. “We just couldn’t get the bats going tonight, but we found a way to get a victory in the end. It was at great way to end our regular season for our seniors,” he added.
Senior Stephanie Baumuller, who went 1-3 at the plate with a triple, also was the winning pitcher striking out 12 and walking five. “Steph did a great job keeping Ellis Tech off the bases and keeping us in the game. We earned this victory tonight,” Smith said.
