WEST CATHOLIC WINS TWO! 

On Thursday, our Varsity Softball team hosted Belding in a non-league double header with the Black Knights coming to West Catholic for two games. Honoring the 2023 Seniors as well, the Falcons had one memorable night as they took both games from Belding. Winning game one by a score of 15-0 and then game two 18-2, the Falcons broke .500 play again and now have a winning record. The final contests at home for the season, the girls are back in action next week Wednesday, May 31 as they head to Comstock Park for the final two games of the regular season in a non-league double header. 

Following the contests with Comstock Park, the Falcons will head into postseason play where they will compete in the MHSAA Districts on Saturday, June 3 at Calvin Christian. 

State wise last night, both pitchers for the Falcons were electric. Sophomore Jordan Empie in game one threw a perfect game no-hitter allowing zero walks, hits, and recording five strikeouts. In the field too, the defense kept the game perfect by not giving up a single error. Additionally, in the second game Sophie North recorded her 100th strikeout of the season! 

At the plate, Becca Tuttle stayed hot recording multiple hits and RBI's, as well as Paige Clinger having three hits in the first game as well. Additional key performances were led by Reese Polega at the dish and several other offensive contributions from Cate Sanders and Emma Chrystan. 

Congrats, ladies on an awesome performance! Go West!
