Whitman Girls Softball (6–2) defeated Seneca Valley (3–5) 9–7 on Monday, April 15th at Seneca Valley. 

Senior Katherine Frick was on the mound for the Vikes and got great help from the offense. 

In the second inning, a sacrifice fly from senior Harper Barnowski gave the Vikes a 2–1 lead and they never looked back. After a double from junior Ariel Kim scoring two runs, the Vikes found themselves up 4–1. Yet they weren’t finished, a massive five-run fourth inning on three singles and an error gave the Vikes a giant 9–2 lead. 

The Screaming Eagles still weren’t giving up. Seneca Valley answered with three runs in the fifth inning and two in the sixth inning to cut the lead to just two runs heading into the last inning.
