Delahaba's 17K's, Grandslam Help Spartans Roll
ASHBURN, VA - The #1 ranked softball team in the state of Virginia continued to dominate their opposition in the regional semifinals on Wednesday night. The Spartans from Broad Run scorched Turner Ashby at home in front of a packed house 9-0 behind another incredible performance from pitcher Caitlyn Delahaba. Delahaba usually steals the headlines from the mound, but last night saw her also hit a grand slam homerun that propelled the Spartans to victory. Teammate Ashley Kramer also added a two run blast and Broad Run rolled on to the regional finals on Friday.
Broad Run will play at home for the regional finals, but will automatically advance to the state quarterfinals with Wednesday's win. If the Spartans can win, they will host the state quarterfinal game on Tuesday. A Spartan loss will mean Broad Run will travel on Tuesday to the higher seed.
Delahaba only gave up two hits on the night and her performance on the mound was one of the best of the season with 17 strikeouts. The Spartans improved to 25-0 on the season and are ranked in the top 10 in the United States.
Game Notes:
Karla Powell had 2 RBI in the contest against Turner Ashby on Wednesday. Powell singled in Ashley Kramer to start the scoring for Broad Run. She later had a sacrifice fly and RBI that scored Kaitlyn Tiplady.
