As Regionals Loom, Bruins Softball Keeps Rolling

As the stretch run hits for high school softball, the Broadneck Bruins are surging.

Broadneck hit the final week of the season on an eight-game win streak, which included avenging the season-opening loss at Severna Park. Addie Cornelius drove in two runs and Rylan Crisafulli struck out 15 as the Bruins held on for a 5-4 win over the Falcons.

Also included in the run was a 17-1 win over Annapolis and a 5-0 shutout win over South River, in which Crisafulli fanned 15 Seahawk batters. They ran the shutout string to four with wins over Northern (2-0), Southern (17-0) and Meade (20-0). Cornelius homered and drove in five runs in the win over Southern. Against North County, Isabella Herrera drove in four runs in a 10-1 win.

In support of Crisafulli, Keira Plumley picked up two wins in the circle.

Broadneck had a 13-2 record prior to hosting Arundel on April 28, visiting Chesapeake on April 30 and traveling to Glen Burnie on March 2. Winning all three could put the Bruins in the county championship on May 6 at Bachman Sports Complex in Glen Burnie.
