Perryville seniors exit regional softball tourney with 2-2 mark

Worcester, Mass. — The Perryville Senior Softball squad wrapped up the District 4 Eastern Regional Tournament's pool play section with back-to-back victories, but losses in its first two match-ups meant the team would not be moving on to the competition's knockout round.

Moving out of the B Pool were Cumberland/Salem, N.J., and Worthington, Penn. squads, both of which finished with 3-1 marks.

In their most recent contest, the Maryland representatives edged the Harrington, Del., team 3-2 on Wednesday.

Brooke Wills ripped a two-run homer in the victory, while Lindsey Poore stroked a pair of doubles for Perryville.

On the mound, Poore tossed a complete game, scattering eight hits and racking up seven strikeouts.

On Monday, Perryville picked up its first tournament victory, dropping the Cumberland/Salem, N.J., squad 2-0.

Perryville starter Nori Elliott went the distance, holding her opponents to two hits and striking out seven in a complete-game victory.

Both of Perryville's runs came in the fourth frame, with Brooke Wills and Lindsey Poore both crossing the plate. Marissa Phillips whacked a triple and a double in the victory, while Wills had a double. Poore, Jen Bands and Amber Wood each had a single for Perryville.

In their Sunday match-up, the Perryville girls were beaten 11-3 by the New York team.

Elliott and Marissa Phillips both scored a run in the defeat.

Perryville opened tournament play on Saturday afternoon with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Pennsylvania squad.
