It was a great way to end the season with the team peaking in performance in time for next week’s tournament game against Madison. Tonight’s victory was the last regular season game for Coach Ferrigno who couldn’t be more proud of how this year’s team has grown so close and improved greatly.

Not only was this the last home game for the three senior captains, but also for Coach Ferrigno who announced his retirement from the Varsity Softball program at DCS earlier this week. The game started off rough with the Trojans jumping out to a seven run lead by the top of the third inning.  Not to be denied, the Eagles gained back four runs in the bottom of the third including a two-run homer by Jessica Kapraly, and a triple hit by Holly Bach, who then scored on an overthrow to third. The Trojans added a run in the fourth but then were shut out by Kapraly’s pitching in the next three innings. The Eagles gained back two more runs in the sixth bringing the score to within two.  In the seventh, Rachel Kirkam put down a textbook slap over third to get on, and then stole second and third.  Kayla Zimmerman connected for a single driving in Kirkham to close the lead to one run. With Zimmerman stealing back to back bases to put herself in scoring position with no outs, Jessica Kapraly stepped to the plate hoping for a solid hit to drive in the tying run. Instead, Kapraly unloaded, pounding the ball deep to left field. With the win within reach, Coach Ferrigno waived Jessica around third who raced toward home and slid across the plate in a cloud of dust, steps ahead of the throw. Coach Ferrigno praised the team for playing hard, not giving up, and making the big plays when needed to deliver this memorable home game win.
