Chapel Field softball team continues to roll. The team ran over Spackenkill Thursday May 8 10-0 a day after they went to Chester and left there with a 13-1 Victory. And the team looks poised for another Class D Championship run while being ranked first in the state in their class. "I think we're playing the kind of softball I hoped we would (at this point in the year)" Bill Spanjer, the team's coach. Chapel Field will move up to Class C next year because it's been too dominant as a Class D team, winning five state titles in the last seven years. Chester is the tenth ranked Class C team in the state and the Chapel Field was ahead 6-0 in the second inning before they took Alyssa Brognano deep into left field for a home run in the bottom half of the inning. Brognano, Chapel Field's only regular season pitcher during the last two seasons, struck out the side in the bottom of the third and gave up five hits in the game. "Alyssa threw a good game. She looked good. She threw what pitches I asked her to throw,: said Spanjer Chapel Field then came up in the top of the fifth and put up four more runs including a Lyndi Fielitz triple that senr her home on an error. Chapel Field pounded out 13 hits as Victoria Billman the shortstop, went 4-5 with a triple and two runs knocked in. They added two runs in the sixth and another in the seventh before committing a few errors in the seventh while trying to record the final outs. The team is busy this week playing four games in five days. On Friday they go to Livingston Manor where they'll face Marissa Deischer, a hard throwing ninth grader.
