Rebels Set Pace

Posted May 05, 2008 @ 02:42 AM: The Daily News Transcript -

The Walpole High softball team heads into the second half of the season alone a top the Bay State Conference Herget Division.

With rival Norwood breathing down their neck a game back, Haley Smith made sure that the Rebels kept the division lead to themselves by tossing a two-hit shutout against Wellesley Friday in a 4-0 win that improved the Rebels to 6-1 in the BSC and 8-3 overall.

Smith struck out three and walked two in picking up the win. Stephanie Frye powered the offense with three hits, two RBI and a pair of steals for Walpole, which scored a run in the fourth, two in the fourth and one in the fifth.

Mimi Theodore had a pair of hits while contributing to a terrific day by the infield at third base, along with shortstop Michaela Cosby, second baseman Kellie Duffy and first baseman Meg Johnson.

“The infield made the plays all day,” said Walpole coach Jim Duffy. “We played a solid defensive game.”
