With City League softball winding down, we start to see a clearer picture of how the standings might end up. Next week should present the biggest matchup of the season.
Northwest currently sits atop the City League at 8-0, while Carroll is just half a game back at 8-1. The two will meet Thursday in a double-header that should help determine the City League champion.
If Northwest sweeps they should be locked in for the title assuming they beat East the following week. If Carroll sweeps the Grizzlies, they will have a half-game lead but still must face Kapaun in a game that was originally supposed to be played tonight but was rained out.
Now there are still other games to be played before the two meet on Thursday, but with the way they’re playing I think both teams should still be able to hold the top two spots in league by then.
The games will present what should be a fantastic pitching matchup between Carroll’s Katie Armagost and Northwest’s Jessica O’Dell. The games should come down to which team steps up defensively and comes up with timely, clutch hitting.
While we look forward to this double-header to help determine the City League champs, we shouldn’t count out Heights. The Falcons have a solid team but have three losses – one to Carroll and two to Northwest. If those teams slip up and Heights finishes strong they could make a push for a share of the league title.
Things are heating up in City League softball action. Who do you think will take the title?
