For the third consecutive year, Weehawken defeated Bayonne to capture the Hudson County Softball Championship.
The game was played Saturday at North Bergen’s 64th Street Field. Bayonne was ranked as the number 1 seed; Weehawken number 2. After taking an early 2-0 lead, Weehawken saw Bayonne battle back to eventually tie the contest at 3.
The game went into extra innings, and the Indians took the lead 4-3 on a base loaded walk by junior shortstop Brianna McHale. That run held up in the bottom of the 8th, as senior starting pitcher Brooke McHale set down the Lady Bees in order, giving Weehawken three straight Hudson County softball championships, all against Bayonne.
Congratulations to Weehawken Head Coach Raquel Roder and Assistant Coach Nicole Fleck on another title. And kudos to both squads on a hard fought, well played contest.
