Seymour coach Ken Pereiras recorded his 200th career victory with a 10-2 win over Crosby last Wednesday.

In his ninth season, Pereiras is 201-17 and won state titles in 2005, 2006 and 2009.

“It shows the kinds of kids we’ve had over the years,” Pereiras said. “We’ve had some good players and because of them, we were able to win a lot of games.”

This year has been no exception. The Wildcats are on a 10-game winning streak since losing back-to-back contests to Woodland and Torrington in the second week of the season.

“We lost some tough games early in the season,” Pereiras said. “We have Woodland on Wednesday, so we’ll see if we got better.”

Seymour (12-2) led 3-1 against Woodland on April 8 before losing 5-4 in eight innings. The Wildcats then lost 3-0 to Torrington two days later despite getting 11 hits of junior hurler Sydney Matzko, although Pereiras said most of the hits didn’t leave the infield.

After hosting Ansonia today and traveling to Woodland on Wednesday, the Wildcats are back home for an interesting non-league contest with Morgan (11-1).

Seymour is averaging 12 runs per game and has given up just 24 runs.

Pereiras has been pleasantly surprised by senior left fielder Morgan Scinto, the team’s No. 2 batter, who is batting .574 with 18 runs and eight stolen bases.

“She’s a slap hitter,” Pereiras said. “She’s a good bunter and she has good speed.”

Senior Carissa Wasikowski (.489, 19 RBIs), junior first baseman Makayla O’Hara (.420, 21 RBIs) and designated player Emma Crocamo (.372) have also hit well.

Senior Grace Nisbet and freshmen Raeanne Geffert and Amanda Harkins are all batting over .400. Junior Laura Dieckman has played well at shortstop, Pereiras added.

Junior Katie Petroski, a Register All-State selection last season, is batting .364 with 23 runs and 29 RBIs, although Pereiras said she still really hasn’t caught fire yet this season.

Wasikowski and Geffert have both seen time in the pitching circle. Wasikowski plays right field when not pitching.

Geffert, who is 8-1 with a 0.96 earned run average, is a promising prospect.

“She has a lot of stuff,” Pereiras said. “She works with (pitching coach) Shelby Slie, and she works hard. I think she is going to keep getting better.”
