In Copenhagen, Sackets Harbor squared off against Alexandria for the Frontier League D Division title.
This game was a pitchers’ duel as Alexandria starter Bridget Watson was stellar, allowing just 2 hits on the day.
Sackets Harbor starter Natalie Gibbons was equal to the task, allowing just 5 hits and striking out 3.
Kendell Bisbort would drive in 2 runs for the Lady Patriots, and that would be enough for Gibbons as Sackets Harbor nips Alexandria 2-1 to win the Frontier League D Division Championship.
”Well, it feels pretty good because, as you said, these teams are so close that every single game was a 1 run game and we were fortunate enough to get this one today,” said Sackets Harbor Softball Coach Dan Green.
”It felt pretty good because last year we did lose in the championship, but this year we really wanted it just as bad as we did last year but we we able to execute a lot better than we did last year,” said Gibbons.
