Softball Surges into First Place

Treating last Thursday’s game at University as if the playoffs were at stake, the Palisades High softball team scored five runs in the fourth inning,  capped by shortstop Alyssa Wallin’s grand slam (her second inside-the-park homer in three games) to win 12-0 and move into a tie for first in the Western League. 

Milly Acevedo also homered, Talia Hunter had to hits, two runs and two RBIs and one RBI, Cienna Henry Milton had two hits and two runs and Paulette Ely pitched five strong innings with two strikeouts.
