Wahconah Softball Wins Western Mass. Title
The Wahconah softball team captured the Western Massachusetts Division II championship on Monday, defeating Hampshire 3-0 in Amherst.
The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the sixth, when Kelcie Yarmey drove in the go-ahead run, then teammate Amanda McLeod drove in two more.
Sam Burjner picked up the victory for the top-seeded Warriors, tossing a complete-game shutout with three strikeouts.
