Beals Leads Seahawks To Tourney Title

Newtown’s Zoe Beals helped lead the Connecticut Seahawks 12U softball team to the 5th Annual Donna Festa Memorial Fastpitch Softball Tournament in Monroe during Labor Day Weekend.

After going 1-2 on Saturday, the Seahawks were seeded fourth, and rallied and won all three games on Sunday.

In the first game on Sunday, Beals pitched a great game and struck out nine batters in the close 5-4 win against the Fairfield Fury 12U team.

In the semifinal game, against the top-seeded Fairfield Fury 13U squad, Beals went 3-for-3 at the plate, including a double that drove in two runs. The team pulled out a 9-7 win.

The Seahawks  moved onto the championship game against the Trumbull Rampage. Beals ripped two hits, including a two-run homer to deep center and a two-run line drive down the left field line to help the Seahawks win the game 8-5.

The Seahawks head to New Windsor, NY in October, to battle in their next tournament.
