Published: May 16, 2012 Third time charm brings repeat title for Saints  The St. Catherine softball team provided ample evidence to the old belief that it is difficult to beat a team three times in a single season. After twice losing to rival Collegiate during the regular season, the Saints utilized aggressive play to take advantage of Cougar miscues and win the LIS championship for the second straight year, 7-3. Collegiate committed all four of their errors in the first two innings which contributed to a 4-0 St. Catherine lead that proved too much to overcome. “That’s not typical of the way we played this year,”… Read more...

The Bulldogs (13-1, 10-0 JRD) last played at home on Apr. 27 and even though they swept the slate of road games, as the saying goes, there’s no place like home. Facing Cumberland in a Wednesday James River District matchup, Goochland kept their momentum going with a 7-0, win.
