Softball Team Wins League Tourney

The Connecticut Seahawks 11U softball team wrapped up the season by winning the Fairfield County Fastpitch Softball League 12U Tournament held in Southbury during the last weekend of July.

Newtown’s own Tess Mubarek and Zoe Beals helped the team go undefeated over five games while the Seahawks outscored their opponents 45-9. The Newtown players teamed up and delivered nine hits, grabbed four walks, drove in seven runs, and stole home three times. Mubarek did a great job on defense, including a long throw from deep right field with the bases loaded to put out the runner at first and to hold other runners from further advancement. Beals pitched two great games: a one-hit 12-2 win on Saturday and a no-hitter 10-0 win in the semifinal on Sunday. With the team bats still smoking from the semifinal game, the Seahawks won the Championship game in a 12-0 no-hit romp against New Canaan.  The team starts the 2012-13 season on Labor Day at the Donna Festa Memorial Tournament at Wolfe Park in Monroe.
