Coach Rollie Poirer's Berlin High softball team played the Newfound Bears three times in less than a week, including a first-round playoff win, 12-2, on Tuesday. This followed two end of the regular-season wins last week, 16-9 and 7-4.
In the first game down in Bristol, the Mountaineers took advantage of multiple errors by the Bears and used some very timely hitting to get the win. Jillian Hallee led the team offensively with four hits and three RBI and Mak Peare was on base four times with three RBI.
