HAMDEN — Round 2 again went to West Haven against rival Sacred Heart Academy and again the contest was decided by one run in extra innings.

But this time around the game featured more offensive fireworks, especially in the later innings, as the host Pacers rallied from an improbable deficit to tie the game with seven runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.

But in the eighth inning, Jolie Morrell scored on Marisa Pacapelli’s sacrifice fly to lift the Westies to a thrilling 8-7 Southern Connecticut Conference Quinnipiac Division victory Wednesday.

Morrell led off the top of the eighth inning with a single. A walk and a single from Alexis Severino loaded the bases before Pacapelli lifted a fly ball close to the left field line allowing Morell to tag and score from third base.

“This is great, it’s absolutely great,” Morrell said. “Sacred Heart is a good team. But when you come together as a team — everyone contributed to something and it was a team effort — it feels fantastic. It was a great win.”

West Haven (9-4, 3-1) won 3-2 in 13 innings on April 10.

“We knew what was coming for us,” Morrell said. “We were ready for it. It was a great game by both of us.”

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.

“I just tried to relax and do my best,” Watt said. “I have been struggling lately. I just wanted to have a good at bat and drive the ball.

CHESHIRE — After leading by four entering the top of the seventh inning Cheshire withstood a furious Mercy rally, with the game ending on a controversial call.

The visiting Tigers scored three times in the inning and had a runner on third base when catcher Tyler Keegan stepped to the plate.

Keegan’s sharp ground ball was fielded cleanly by shortstop Caroline Kushner, but the throw dragged first baseman Lauren Fountain off the bag. Fountain, though, appeared to have made the tag, but Keegan was ruled safe.
