The game is called softball. But quite frankly, there’s nothing soft about it when two top-notch teams battle out a contest in searing heat as C.B. South and Hatboro-Horsham did last Thursday afternoon. Through much of the game, the score remained 0-0, which was a testament to some great defensive plays along with steady pitching from each team’s ace hurlers: Fran Carrullo (CB South, junior) and Maggie Schaffer (Hatboro-Horsham, sophomore). And when the Lady Hatters were up 2-0 in the 6th inning, the Lady Titans quickly came back to make it a new game at 2-2 — eventually sending the contest into an International Tie-Breaker in the 10th inning, where each team started their part of the inning with a runner in scoring position at 2nd base. After a dramatic put-out at home plate to end the Lady Hatters 10th inning at-bat, the Lady Titans scored on an equally dramatic home plate play in the bottom of the 10th, securing the District One crown with a final score of 3-2.
We haven’t produced one of our signature WebShows in awhile, and we thought the District One Softball Final would lend itself to some great images set to high-energy music. So hear ya go, softball fans!!! Just turn up the volume; click on the “play” icon in the video-window below; and re-live some great action sequences — mixed in with game action sports portraiture and LOTS of emotion — from last Thursday’s contest. Enjoy… and be inspired!!!

Both teams will now head to the PIAA State Softball Tournament which gets underway this week. Best of luck Ladies!!!
[UPDATE: Both C.B. South and Hatboro-Horsham won their games in the State Tournament's first round on Monday, June 7th. So both teams advance to the quarterfinals on June 10th, where C.B. South will meet District 2's top-seed Hazleton at Patriots Park in Allentown, and Hatboro-Horsham will take on District 1's #4-seed Bishop Shanahan (again) at Upper Merion HS in King of Prussia.]
