The Skinny on how they advanced
Broad Run 23, Freedom 0 (5)
The Spartans didn’t waste any time, scoring 10 runs in the bottom of the first inning on seven hits and four walks, including a two-run homer by senior Anna Blessing.
After going down quietly in the second inning, the Spartan bats came alive again in the third inning as they were able to plate eleven more run on seven hits and three walks, highlighted by a grand slam by sophomore Kate Sims, her third hit and 6th RBI of the game. Sophomore Amanda Pugh wrapped up the scoring with a pinch-hit two-run single in the fourth inning.
Junior Maggie Betz was four for four with four runs scored and two RBIs for the game. Freshman McKall Miller was two for three with a run scored and two RBIs, and freshman Dani Cook was two for four with three runs scored.
Blessing pitched three perfect innings with five strikeouts to pick up the victory. Sophomore Ashley Ferrara pitched the final two innings retiring all six batters she faced, including two strikeouts, to complete the perfect game for the Spartans.
Park View 3, Dominion 2
Park View won their quarter final match up with Dominion by a score of 3-2. Dominion was held without a hit until the seventh when they put three hits together and scored two runs to make it more than interesting for the third-seeded Patriots.

Sammie Gleason, Brittany Griffin and Miranda Kinney each had two hits for the Patriots. Miranda drove in the other two Patriot runs with a double and single of her own.
