Pou Ks 10, Pittsfield Wins 6th Straight

PITTSFIELD , Mass. – Amanda Pou and Isabella MacDonald led the way on Friday as the Pittsfield softball team kept its winning streak alive at six.

 

On Friday, the South Hadley Tigers traveled to Pittsfield.

 

In a pitching duel between the Tigers’ Isabella Schefler and Pittsfield’s Pou, both went a complete game.

 

Defensively, Macdonald and Natalie Arnhold lead the way for the Generals, saving multiple hits.

 

In the second inning, the Generals took a 1-0 lead when MacDonald reached on a fielder’s error by South Hadley and advanced to third and home on a wild pitch and steal.

 

MacDonald finished the game with two stolen bases.

 

Pittsfield’s productivity was off errors on the Tigers as well as an RBI single by Kamryn Renata in the fourth.

 

Pou had five strikeouts looking during the first four innings and finished with 10 strikeouts and no walks in the game.

 

Hitting was not very strong for either team during the entirety of the game.

 

The Tigers had a small rally start in the first, when Ara Powers smacked a ball to the gap which led to multiple throwing errors.

 

This did not help the Tigers score as they lined out to center field.

 

Pou did not allow a base-runner after the second inning.

 

“It felt really good to be on the mound today, collectively we competed today and I could not be more proud to pitch with such a good defense behind me constantly,” she said.

 

“Overall the team came together well today. We scored when we needed to and never gave up hope, the energy was always high regardless of the situations.”

 

The Generals now extend their record to 8-2 and will face Mt. Anthony on Monday.
