May 8
Pathfinder varsity softball got a taste of post season play and proved they can play with the big kids, but learned it take a little more effort. Playing with several players out of position. Pathfinder hung in tough into the fourth inning behind only 3 to 1. In the end Pathfinder was soundly defeated but only three batters struck out, the rest hit off one of the best pitchers in Western Mass.
May 19
Pitching yesterday game was Terry Sears Walter and Ashley Davis did a nice job. Once the girls settled down and realized they had to make the plays in the field, they held BayPath to three scoreless inning with nice plays by Jessylyn Guyer, Jess Zarenko, Dee Gilligan, Lyndsay Stanton and Chelsea Manley. Meghan had a homerun, a double, and 2 singles and Lyndsay had three hits to lead the Pioneers. In the end that first costly inning cost them the game, but not without learing and proving a valuable post season lesson - you can do it with your gloves today.

The team thanks all of the fans that supported them this season.
