MILFORD — To say the Foran softball team was ready to play Hand Monday afternoon would be an understatement. Looking forward to the contest after letting a game against the Tigers slip away earlier in the season, the Lions made 11 hits count in an 8-4 victory in Milford.

The Lions scored three times in the first inning and rolled to the win, which snapped Hand’s 11-game winning streak. Foran pitcher Jessica Harkness cruised through five innings before allowing four runs in the final two innings.

Harkness allowed seven hits, three of which were slap hits by Maddie Yaggi, struck out eight and did not walk a batter in the win.

 TEAM OF THE WEEK: Hand softball stamps passport to postseason

NEW HAVEN — The math was pretty simple.

Entering this week, the Hand softball team stood at 4-1, halfway to the eight victories necessary to qualify for the state tournament.

With four games on the docket, the Tigers knew they controlled their own destiny.

 “We’ve been talking about it this past week and we knew we had the potential to qualify for the state tournament,” senior left fielder Kate Boudreau said. “It was discussed. We knew it was a possibility.”

The Tigers knocked off Foran, Branford, Guilford and then Hillhouse on Friday to clinch a return to the postseason after a one-year absence.

A week prior, Hand defeated Mercy and Law to earn Register Team of the Week honors.

Last season the Tigers finished at 7-13, falling just short of the playoffs.

“That was definitely something that was fueling us for this year,” Boudreau said. “It was one of the goals we set for ourselves, winning the eight games to qualify for the state tournament.”

Hand has started 8-1 with a team that has five freshmen on its roster, including three starters.

TUESDAY'S LINESCORES

 

SOFTBALL: Hand slips past Foran

MADISON — Hand turned a potential blunder into the winning run in its softball game with rival Foran Monday.

With the game tied at 1, Hand senior Kate Boudreau singled to lead off the sixth inning. Kate Omdahl then reached safely on a fielder’s choice followed by Mel Rennie’s sacrifice bunt, which put runners on second and third with one out.

A play later, on an infield ground out, Omdahl ran toward third base, which was still occupied by Boudreau.

Foran decided to try to get a retreating Omdahl out at second, but the throw wasn’t in time and Boudreau scored from third to give the Tigers a thrilling 2-1 Southern Connecticut Conference Hammonasset Division victory.
