The Ferri Middle School softball team opened its season last Thursday with a 6-5 extra-inning victory over Cole Middle School.

Cole scored first with two runs in the second inning and another in the third to go up 3-0. In the fifth, Ferri rallied to tie the game 3-3. In the seventh inning, Cole put the pressure on by scoring two runs to go up 5-3, but Ferri wasn’t done. Lauren Civetti reached first to lead off the bottom of the seventh and Alyssa Johnson advanced her with a groundout. Katerina St. Angelo then plated Civetti with a double to get Ferri within a run. With one out and Gabriella Sauro at the plate, St. Angelo stole third then raced home on a passed ball to tie the game. Sauro reached and with Madison Plouffe at the plate, she stole second. She then took off for third and drew a wild throw, then scampered home with the winning run.

Plouffe had a solid game on the mound, giving up only one walk. Civetti, Sophia DeCosta and Kelsey Scott provided good defense in the outfield. Behind the plate was St Angelo, with Johnson at first, Sauro at third, Jordan Moretti at short and sixth-grader Morgan Plouffe making her debut at second. She earning the game ball thanks to strong defense.
