Varsity Softball Finds Success on the Road
On Tuesday, the team took a five-minute ride to Langley High School and defeated the Saxons 17-15 in a nine-inning game. What started out looking like a low-scoring game turned into a slugfest. Potomac’s 23-hit attack was led by Alexis Vaughan ’25 and Sloane Escobar ’25, with four hits each. Anna Castellano ’26, Erika Castellano ’23, and Abby Rebhan ’24 had three hits each.
The team also traveled to Fredericksburg Christian to play the number two-seeded team in the VISAA Division 2. Potomac came out strong in the first inning scoring four runs, aided by a two-run homer by Paige Schedler ’25. Potomac scored in every inning except one and concluded the scoring with a solo homer by Hayley Richardson ’24. In addition to the homers, Potomac’s attack was led by E. Castellano, Rebhan, and Richardson, with three hits each, and A. Castellano had two singles. Rebhan pitched a complete game allowing one run while striking out eight. The final score was 11-1, and Potomac remains the number two-seeded team in Division 1 of the VISAA.
