Ascension Catholic 8, Hanson 1

DONALDSONVILLE -- Ascension Catholic hit everything Hanson pitcher Brittany Sonnier threw at them, and the Lady Tigers scored only on Sonnier’s firt-inning home run as ACHS eliminated Hanson in the second round of the Class A softball playoffs Saturday.

Sonnier allowed six runs in two innings, while Dacia Collette pitched the final five innings and allowed two runs.

“It didn’t matter what we threw, they hit,” said HMS coach Theresa Lombardo. “After the third inning when Dacia settled down, they didn’t score again.”

But by then Hanson trailed 8-1, and the score remained that way.

Sonnier’s homer was her second in as many playoff games.

Also with hits for Hanson (16-9) were Collette, Lexi Coleman, Laura Miller and Mallory Chiasson.

“She was a decent pitcher,” Lombardo said of ACHS pitcher Lanie Presley. “She had a lot of movement on the ball.

“I told the kids going in if we didn’t hit the ball we were going to lose, and we didn’t hit the ball.”
