Cambridge vs, Walton - Oct. 3rd
It was Senior Night and Breast Cancer Awareness night on Wednesday Oct. 3rd at the Bear Den.
The Lady Bears wore "pink" jerseys to signify their support of Breast Cancer Awareness, and the Walton Lady Raiders also showed their support by wearing pink socks, and pink under eye tinting. Two Cambridge's softball moms were saluted as breast cancer survivors (Sally Fedrigon and Andrea Lay), and Walton Head Coach, Brandi Sparks, also paid tribute to her mom as a breast cancer survivor. Not only did she pay tribute, but the Lady Raiders presented the Lady Bears with over $700, which the team raised for Breast Cancer Awareness, as a donation to the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign. What an awesome show of team unity and support for this worthy cause. MANY THANKS TO THE WALTON LADY RAIDERS!
It was also Senior night in the Bear Den, and Bears saluted their only Senior teammate, which is also the first graduating senior of the entire Cambridge Softball Program, Maria Lay, the Bear's 2nd baseman, along with her parents were presented with flowers, a photo collage, and posters from each player. What another great celebration for the Cambridge Program.
Now there was also a softball game going on during the evening, and Lady Bears were definitely on their game. In a show of both strong hitting and tremendous fielding, the Bears defeated the Raiders 10-2 to close out the regular season. Lily Valeo went 3 for 3 on the night, and Ally Konishi, 2 for 2, to lead the sticks for the Bears. The Bears scored in every inning except the first and held the lead for the entire game. Mariah Kubik gets the win from the hill, and the Bears score 10 runs off of 10 hits for the night.
The Bears travel next to the Regional Tournament as the #4 seed.
Go BEARS!
