Here's how I voted for the Register's Top 10 Preseason Softball Poll.

The poll will be released later today on our website http://www.nhregister.com/.

In addition to the poll, there will be a feature story on Foran and Law, who are both expected to have outstanding seasons this year.

There will be a list of the Top 25 players to watch, Top 10 games to watch and Top 5 story lines to follow in 2013.

The preview section should be up on-line later on Monday and most of it should run in Tuesday's print editions, depending on space.

Voters in the Register Top 10 softball poll had quite the dilemma when both Seymour and Foran, the teams that occupied the top two spots in the previous poll, lost in state tournament play last week.

At the conclusion of championship weekend, several teams emerged as candidates to finish No. 1, including Class L champion Rockville and Class M winner Rocky Hill. Class LL champion Amity was also in the mix.

Rockville defeated Foran in the championship game, while Rocky Hill knocked off the state’s lone unbeaten team, Seymour, in the semifinals.

But after all the ballots were tabulated, Rocky Hill landed at the top.

Read more here.

Here's the ballot I submitted for the final Register Top 10 Softball Poll of the season.

It was a tough call between Class L champion Rockville and Class M champion Rocky Hill. The two split their regular season games with Rockville winning 2-0 and Rocky Hill emerging with a 15-3 win. Rockville also lost to Bristol Central. Rocky Hill defeated Class LL finalist Southington during the regular season.

Some consideration had to go to Class LL champion Amity, but the Spartans lost to Class L finalist Foran three times. I just couldn't vote Amity ahead of Foran because of that reason.

In the end, I went with Rocky Hill. After seeing every major contender this season, I thought the Terriers were just a bit better than Rockville.

In his 31 seasons as softball coach at West Haven, Frank Biondi never had a team that didn’t win a game.

That streak continues. Barely.

The Westies lost their first 17 games this season before pulling out a 1-0 victory over Hand on Thursday.

“It felt good,” Biondi said. “We knew we were going to be very young. We lost just about everyone. We’re starting three or four that never played before. It took awhile. We could never get the hitting and fielding to come together at the same time.”

Haddam-Killingworth is once again in the thick of the Shoreline Conference race.

After advancing to the league tournament final last season, Cougars coach Jeff Talbott thought his team would contend again this year.

The reason was simple: experience.

“At the beginning of the season I thought we would have a good team,” Talbott said. “We have five seniors that are four-year starters. We have great senior leadership. With five of the nine (starters) on the field being seniors, that (experience) pays off. I’m extremely pleased. They’re good kids.”
