Bishop Dunne Softball Team Playing Tough, Winning!

The Bishop Dunne Softball team has won five games in their District, including beating Liberty Christian last Thursday.  The team is on a roll which began two weeks ago, with two consecutive wins: against Ursuline, the Falcons won 4 – 2; and a victory against TCA the following night began their streak.

In the Ursuline game, junior Adrianna Barnes pitched a complete game with 7 strike outs and was 4-4 at the plate including the game winning RBI. Freshman Katie Picha was also 2-4 at the plate that night. 

First year Coach Kate Modrovsky said, “I’m really excited for them! Ursuline was a HUGE win and a HUGE step in the right direction!”

Becky Sivinski, Associate Director of Girls’ Athletics, concurs: “We didn’t even have a softball team last year, so this is great that the girls are playing so well together and winning!”

The season began slowly with five rained-out cancelled games in a row, but the team is making those games up at the end of their regularly scheduled season. Away games are scheduled at three schools this week, with one home game Thursday, but rain is again forecasted.

“This week the girls will play four games in a row if they have no rainouts,” said Ms. Sivinksi. “It’s a tough schedule.”  The team’s next home game is Thursday, April 23rd against JPII. Senior night and the last home game will be Monday, April 27th against Ursuline. After that, the girls compete in the district play offs.

With just five seniors on the team, Coach Modrovsky has most of her team returning next year. She plans to build on the momentum the team has started and looks forward to district play offs. Fans can check the Tapster website for the games and times as they become available.
