Thunder 10U Squad Claims Dalton CRA Title

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
DALTON, Mass. – Nyla Cooper struck out eight in three innings in the circle Sunday evening to lead the Greylock Thunder 10-and-under travel softball team to a 16-0 win over ACS Swat in the title game of the CRA Invitational.
 
Cooper also applied the tag for the putout of the only non-strikeout her team needed to secure the three-inning win.
 
She allowed no hits, walked just three and struck out the side in order in the top of the third to end the game.
 
“We have a rotation of four pitchers,” Thunder coach Nick Lentine said. “She is the No. 1, for sure. And then Avery Quick is our No. 2. She pitched the game going into the championship for this weekend.”
 
The Thunder went 2-0 in pool play on Friday and Saturday to take the top seed going into bracket play.
 
After knocking off the Vermont Bombers behind Quick, the Thunder moved on to the final against ACS, which also had to get by the Bombers in the final of the tournament’s losers bracket – after falling to the Vermonters on Saturday to start the playoffs.
 
In the rematch to earn the right to face the Thunder, the Swat got a pair of hits apiece from Lania DiMarsico and Kerrington Lee and Aubriella Skorupski in a 17-5 win that lasted just three innings as well.
