Varsity Girls Softball Triumphs Over Badger HS 5-3! In the first round of playoffs last night, our Girls Varsity Softball Team snatched the lead late in their 5-3 victory over Badger HS on Tuesday. The game was tied at three in the bottom of the fifth when Sarah Marcheske hit a big 2-run single putting the Lasers ahead for good in the bottom of the fifth. Naomi Sander pitched a great game striking out 14 batters and only giving up one hit. The starting pitcher also gave up only three runs over seven innings while walking two. Kettle Moraine took the lead, 5-3, thanks to singles by Grace Doome, Casey Navarro, and Sarah Marcheske. Casey Navarro led Kettle Moraine Varsity Lasers with three hits in three at-bats. Briella Hack and Alesandra Hernandez each had a double, and Grace Doome, Sarah Marcheske, and Casey Navarro each drove in one run for Kettle Moraine Varsity Lasers. The next game is the regional final this Thursday at home against Burlington starting at 4:30. Great win ladies - way to get it done!!!
