Fri. Pa. girls' roundup: Perkiomen Valley wins twin bill

Tori Marcavage will be headed to Kutztown University soon, but the Perkiomen Valley pitcher is putting some nice finishing touches on her high school softball career.

On Friday, Marcavage pitched two complete games in helping the Vikings sweep a doubleheader, 3-1 and 4-2, against visiting Pope John Paul II.

It's not over yet, though, as Marcavage's performance assured the Vikings (12-7 overall, 12-6 league) of a playoff berth. She now has 503 career strikeouts, the first pitcher in school history to reach that number.

Host Pottsgrove rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh to beat Liberty Division champion Owen J. Roberts, 3-2. Brandi Dickinson walked with the bases loaded to break a 2-2 tie and end the game.

Teammate Emily Miller paced an eight-hit attack with three of her own.

Catholic. Senior Day at Archbishop Carroll was a success as three seniors contributed in an 18-0 win over visiting Hallahan. Kristin Beaty pitched a three-inning no-hitter and third baseman Kaitlyn Quinn went 3 for 3 with classmate Caroline Stanley, a first baseman, going 2 for 2.

Breanne Needles went 3 for 3 with three RBIs for Archbishop Wood in its 17-2 win over visiting Neumann-Goretti.

The Vikings (8-7 overall, 6-4 league) broke the game open with 10 runs in the fourth inning.

Central. Sammy Esque pitched a five-hitter and struck out 12 as Springfield (Delaware County) topped visiting Lower Merion, 5-0.

Ches-Mont. Downingtown West gave Casey Herring a three-run lead to work with in the first inning, and that was all she needed to pitch the Whippets past host Downingtown East, 3-2. Herring went the full seven innings and gave up only a pair of unearned runs.

Michelle Barr and Judy Reinhardt had two hits apiece for host Oxford in its 10-5 win over Kennett. The Hornets (13-5) got a leadoff home run in the sixth inning from Jill Freese.

Gina Pellechio's two-out, bases-loaded, single in the bottom of the seventh broke a tie and gave host Norristown a 7-6 win over Central Bucks West.

On the first day of the two-day Suburban One American Conference championships at Plymouth Whitemarsh, the host school's Haley Gorenflo posted a pole vault of 11 feet, 4 inches to better her own meet record set a year ago (11-0).
