“Whatever pitcher or team we’re facing we feel we’re ready for anything right now,” said the junior shortstop and No. 3 hitter in a potent Mount lineup. “Ava is pitching great and we know that our lineup is capable of doing a lot of damage out there.
“We’re not taking anything for granted and we respect all our opponents, but we also know that we can be a very good team the rest of the way!”
NOTES- The Mount’s Villanova-bound leadoff batter Jill Cianfrocca did her job in terms of reaching base as a table-setter in the Lions lineup as she drew walks from Kelly in her first three at bats and scored each time…The Mount’s No. 5 hitter, sophomore leftfielder Kaylan Bartolozzi, hit a blistering shot down the left field line for a 2-run double in the fifth inning as the Lions built their 7-0 lead…No. 9 hitter, junior center fielder Fran Cutillo, had a nice slap hit for a single to lead off the bottom of the third to set the stage for Iannitelli’s 3-run home run.
