Early Runs Help Stoughton High Softball Beat Sharon

The Stoughton High softball team did all their scoring in the first and second innings Monday afternoon on their way to a road win over Sharon.

The Black Knights put up three runs in the first inning and three runs in the second in the 6-1 win.

Senior captain Meghan Flaherty lead the way for Stoughton going 3-4 with a single, double, triple and 4 RBI. Emma Zuk also chipped in with a two run double in the first inning.

“We did all our scoring at the beginning," Stoughton head coach Janet Sullivan said.

“Give them credit because [the Sharon] pitcher, she’s come in off their bench because they lost their starting pitcher, she did a great job. She shut us down after two innings. We didn’t score again,” Sullivan said.

Stoughton pitcher Emily Cramer picked up the win in the complete game effort, allowing just four hits.

“She mixed her pitches well, hit the spots," Sullivan said.

Said Sharon head coach Deb Parker: "We just didn’t come back with our bats at all and that hurt."

Stoughton now has a record of 4-8 on the season. The Black Knights travel to Foxborough Wednesday in another Davenport Division contest.
