St. Marys Topples Warren in Junior Girls All-Star D10 Tournament

WARREN, Pa. – St. Marys scored six runs in the second and five in the fourth, and Molly Hanslovan allowed just one hit in a 15-0, 4-inning win over Warren in the first round of the Pennsylvania Little League District 10 Tournament at Betts-Jackson Field on Wednesday.

The first five St. Marys batters reached and scored in the second inning, with Hanslovan and Allison Mirtz each hitting 2-run doubles in the frame.

St. Marys scored four of its five fourth-inning runs with two outs. Sophie Surra hit a 2-run triple and Zoe Romanic hit an inside-the-park home run to cap the scoring.

After walking the bases loaded in the first, Mislovan settled into a groove in the circle. She issued just one more free pass, allowed one hit – a single to Kendra Danielson in the third – and struck out seven.

The winner of the St. Marys/DuBois game will punch their ticket to the District 10 Championship game on June 28. The loser will play the Warren/Bradford winner on June 26.
