Ingalls, B-R earn sectional championship date
KEUKA PARK - You can add Naples Central School to the list of softball teams that won’t lose any sleep when Bolivar-Richburg pitching ace Jordan Ingalls graduates later this month.
On Saturday afternoon, the Youngstown State-bound Ingalls struck out 10 batters, walked none and scattered four hits to key the third-seeded Wolverines to an 11-1 victory over Naples in a Section 5 Class C semifinal clash.
Offensively, Ingalls led a 13-hit attack with two hits ... a leadoff triple and a home run ... and three RBI as B-R (23-3) knocked Naples out of the tournament for the fourth year in a row.
“The first time we face them in the tournament was Jordan’s freshman year,” said Wolverines coach Stan Harris. “They had a two-run lead going into the bottom of the seventh and we won, 7-6.
“Two years ago, we beat them, 2-0, and last year, the score was 11-0.
On Saturday, B-R pounded out seven extra-base hits.
Amanda McDonald went 3-for-5 with a double and four RBI, Aimee Sisson went 2-for-5 with a home run and Courtney Wight went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI.
The victory lifts the Wolverines into Tuesday’s title game against top-seeded Warsaw at a site and time to be determined. It is their fifth straight appearance in a sectional championship game.
Last year, Warsaw ended B-R bid to repeat as the New York State Class C champion by winning the championship game, 2-1.
Jess Herbst hit an RBI-double for Naples (17-3) in the first inning.
“I’m very pleased,” said Harris. “Jordan pitched well. We hit the ball extremely well and, on defense, we had no errors.”

FILLMORE - Susie Black collected two hits and two RBI, Jennifer Stevens added two hits and Halee Potter laced an RBI-single to lift No. 2 Fillmore (18-5) into Tuesday’s Class DD semifinal round against No. 3 Avoca.
