 High School Softball:Gloucester Catholic Wins the Pitcher's Duel Tuesday, April 3, 2007
By Susan Hall
It was a match-up between two of the most dominating pitchers in the area. Camden
Catholic's Alyssa O'Connell versus Gloucester Catholic's Brittney Carosia received
most of the attention on this day as the Lady Rams were looking to pick up their
second win in the road this time at Camden Catholic. The Lady Irish would gain the
early momentum in this game, but a close play at home quickly swung this game in
favor of the visiting team. A key hit by Shauna Vennell provided only run of the
game for Gloucester Catholic and the Lady Rams would pick up the 1-0 victory in
a non-league game. |
