Defensive play was led by Kerry Zimmerman who pitched three strong innings with her battery mate Madelyn Berger. Sparkling defensive play included a double play initiated by Malorie Simons and a spectacular catch at second by Brittany Robbins. Offensive highlights included a line drive double by Taylor Yablon, a 3 RBI single by Alex Kauffman and two grand slam homers by Johanna Weiss. All the kids on both teams played well and showed surprisingly little rust after a long off-season and a short spring training. FULL STORY

The Roslyn Girls Softball "pro division" season launched its new season last week with the Tigers defeating the Giants. Strong pitching by Sara Gluck and Caroline Dean outlasted efforts by last year's powerhouse duo of Carly Miller and Rachel Karnofsky.

Alex Brown turned off a potential rally with a sterling play on a hard shot up the middle. The final score was 11-4, but the game was closer than the score indicated. FULL STORY
