BERLIN — On Saturday afternoon at Community Field in Berlin the No. 1 seeded Mountaineer softball team played No. 8 Monadnock coming from behind to win 6-1, in the second round of Division 3 Softball Action.
The Huskies scored their lone run on three hits in the first inning (also their only hits) with a lead-off single, followed by an out, then a double, leaving runners at second and third, with their next hitter “squibbling” the ball to third, with the throw coming from McKenna Balderrama to first just a tad late, with the runner scoring from third. Sam McCann settled down to retire the next two batters on called third strikes
