Bubble Hawks Softball Scores

Newtonwn’s U12 softball team highlights from this past week are as follows:

Newtown 25, Redding 9: The Newtown Bubble Hawks put up 5 runs in the first with hits by Sydney Flint, Sarah Spillane and Jenna Carvalho. Spillane pitched the first inning with one strikeout and some help from the defense of Tina DeMaio, Sophie Ackert, and Kate Laaksonen to hold the Redding team to no runs. Newtown put up another 10 runs with 5 in the second and 5 in the third with hits by Samantha Cody, Sarah Cizmazia and Joanna Vodola. 

Redding pulled to within 15-9 before the bats got going again for Newtown in the fourth when the Hawks scored 10 runs. Sarah Spillane took the mound to close out the game, striking out one and getting more great defense from her teammates to hold the Redding team to another scoreless inning.

Newtown 16, Brookfield 1: The Newtown Bubble Hawks went from a 1-2 start to 4-2 this fall. Strong pitching by Sydney Flint and Spillane kept the Brookfield team off the bases for much of the game. Both pitchers tossed three innings and combined for 11 strikeouts. Brookfield never let up but the Newtown bats were too hot to stop with big hits from Laaksonen, Carvalho, and Spillane. The defensive play by Tina DeMaio, Cizmazia, Ackert, Vodola, and Robin Rockwell, along with the rest of the Newtown squad, was impressive throughout the game.
