American Conference
PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH 18, WISSAHICKON 8 (5 innings)
The Colonials had plenty of reasons to celebrate on Thursday. They not only dug themselves out of an early 8-1 hole to win in five innings, they found out later in the day they had earned the 23rd and final district playoff berth.
“Even to slide in at the end – I’ll take it,” coach Dana Moyer said. “It’s been a while – maybe eight years ago – since we’ve been in the playoffs.
“We have a super young team, and there’s so much of an upside, and this is a positive moment for the program and the school.”
The Colonials scored nine runs in the third inning to go on top 18-8, and that score held the rest of the way.
Everyone in PW’s lineup scored, and the battery of catcher Kayla Yeager and pitcher Haley Fink earned the win.
Offensive standouts were seniors Elena Iannuzzelli (1-for-3, double, two runs) and Ashley Yeager (2-for-3, two doubles, two RBIs) and freshman Josee Tassoni (2-for-3, two doubles, two RBIs).
For the Trojans, Macey Segal was a perfect 4-for-4 with a double and two runs. Sara Genell was 2-for-3 with a double and three RBIs, and Andrea Mazurek was 2-for-3 with a pair of RBIs.
Plymouth Whitemarsh closed out its regular season with a 10-5 record overall (9-5 SOL) while Wissahickon was 2-16 overall (2-12 SOL).

Bri Battavio did it all for the Maidens.
The junior hurler tossed a complete game shutout on the mound, allowing just three hits while striking out 10 and walking none in a glittering performance. She hit one batter. If that wasn’t enough, she also ripped a two-run home run in the first to spot the Maidens an early 2-0 lead.
Also for the Maidens, Brittany Moyer was 3-for-4 with a run scored, and Katie Beer was 2-for-4 with a run scored and one RBI. Jamie Beer was 2-for-4 with two RBIs.
For the Cardinals, Jackie McMenamin, Sarah Dennin and Gabbie Soriano each collected a hit. Tara Monaghan absorbed the loss.
North Penn closed out the regular season with a 10-10 record overall (7-7 SOL) while the Flying Cardinals were 6-13 overall (5-9 SOL).
