The East seniors were outfielder Anna Devine, catcher Mae Mahony, third basemen Maggie Funston, and outfielder Kaylee Masterson. The home team West seniors who were celebrated prior to the start of the game were pitcher Ana Glemser, second basemen Taylor Hooven, third basemen Laila Murray, and outfielder Avery Rubenstein. As for the game itself, West came out on top by a score of 12-2. CB East kept the game close through five innings trailing by a score of 3-1 after five. Pitcher Sarah Zmuda kept East in the game by giving up only three runs on four hits through the first five innings. But Ana Glemser also did a commendable job keeping the East bats reasonably quiet through six frames, giving up only two runs on three hits while walking two batters. Going into the bottom of the sixth inning, West led by a single run with the score being 3-2. In the bottom of the sixth, the Bucks were able to get their bats going in a big way. During that inning they would put up nine runs on five hits, while also drawing three walks. Marley Swain led off the inning with a single to left, Laila Murray followed with a single and then catcher Sam Hooven cleared the bases with a hard-hit triple into the right center field gap. Pinch runner Evi Cherry would cross the plate on a fielder's choice RBI off the bat of Charlotte Kerns. Taylor Sheplock reached base on an error and Katherine James drew a walk to load the bases. Ana Glemser and Taylor Hooven both drew walks with the bases loaded to plate two more runs for the Bucks. Marley Swain came to the plate for the second time in the sixth inning and drove in another run with her fourth single of the day, another line drive to left field. Laila Murray drove in run number ten for the Bucks on a hard hit single up the middle. The game would end under the ten-run rule after six innings when freshmen catcher Evi Cherry lined a single to right field driving in Taylor Hooven and Marley Swain with the last two runs for the Bucks. The final score was Central Bucks West 12, Central Bucks East 2. Marley Swain reached base all four times she came to the plate with four singles, she also scored two runs and drove in two more. Swain was equally impressive in the field making a number of strong defensive plays at first base. Other contributors to the West offense on this day included Sam Hooven who drove in two runs with a triple, Jill Boyle with an RBI single, Laila Murray who had two hits and an RBI and Evi Cherry who drove in two runs with an RBI single to end the game in the sixth inning. It was probably a memorable senior day for the Bucks starting pitcher Ana Glemser who was very impressive in the circle. Glemser threw all six innings for West, giving up only two earned runs on three hits while walking only two East batters. Glemser threw 99 pitches, 59 of them for strikes. Coach Mike Daher's comments, "This win over East was a great way to celebrate our four seniors who have been a big part of this program for the last four years. Ana, Taylor, Laila and Avery have not only been great players throughout their high school careers, but they have been tremendous leaders and outstanding role models for our younger players. I feel truly privileged for having the opportunity to coach them during their last two years at West. They really are terrific young adults. Watching them win on senior day meant a lot to me and I am sure it meant a lot to them as well. I really appreciate all that they have done for the West softball program for the last four years. All four of them are extremely hard-working student athletes, as well as being very dedicated softball players and determined young women. They will be missed when they leave this school."
