Central
2, Jackson Liberty 1: Alexis
Majury hit a ball to center field that resulted in an error and allowed Ashley
Aires to score in the top of the first and doubled and scored on Fran Troiso’s
single in the fourth. Katelyn Pepper struck out 14 and didn’t walk a batter
while giving up a run on four hits to improve to 3-0. Pepper had thrown 14
consecutive scoreless innings before Jackson Liberty scored in the sixth on a
double by Jessica Oliveira. The Lions got the tying run to second in the
seventh when Dana Jefferson reached on an error with two outs and advanced on a
passed ball, but Pepper struck out Taylor Cwalinski to end the game. Cwalinski,
who took the loss, struck out 13 and walked two. Kelsey Corraggio was 1-for-2
with a walk for Central. Linnette
Siedler went 2-for-3 with a run scored for Jackson Liberty.
Jackson
Liberty 5, Pinelands 2: Linnette Siedler went 2-for-4 with two runs scored,
and freshman outfielder Brianna Gonzalez hit a two-out, two-run single in the
top of the seventh to increase Jackson Liberty’s lead.
Jackson
Liberty 3, Point Boro 2: Liz Russo tripled in the first inning to drive in Linnette Siedler, who led
off with a bunt single, and scored on a passed ball to give the Lions a 2-0
lead. Russo, who went 2-for-3, also scored on a passed ball in the bottom of
the third to increase the lead. Alexa Saltzman struck out 14 and walked one to
earn the win. Nicole Casey was 1-for-2 with and a double and walk for Point
Boro, which scored twice in the top of the seventh to make things interesting
before suffering its first division loss of the season. It was the Panthers’
first game since April 9.
Jackson
Liberty 8, Central 2: Jess
Oliveira went 3-for-4, and Linnette
Siedler was 3-for-5 with two runs scored for the Lions. Alexa Saltzman
struck out eight and walked none while giving up two runs, one earned, on six
hits. Alexis Majury tripled for Central.
Jackson
Liberty 6, Howell 2: Anne
Vreeland and Samantha Galucci each went 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Lions.
Taylor Cwalinski, who also struck out eight and walked two to earn the win, went
1-for-3 with a walk, scored a run and drove in two. Linnette Siedler was 2-for-4 with a run
scored and an RBI, and Alexa Saltzman went 2-for-4 and scored a run. Gabriella
Ciacciarelli went 1-for-3 with a walk and a double for Howell, and Gabrielle
Ambrozia was 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI.
Jackson
Liberty 1, Point Boro 0: Taylor Cwalinski struck out 13 and walked none in a two-hitter,
and Sam Conner drove in Linnette
Siedler with an RBI single in the top of the sixth. Siedler reached on a
double leading off the inning.
Linnette Siedler and Robyn Czapkowski: I don’t like to do co-anything when
it comes to recognizing players for any kind of award, but I didn’t have a
choice here. The Nos. 1 and 2 hitters in the Jackson Liberty lineup, Siedler and Czapkowski
gave Freehold fits, reaching base in seven of their combined eight plate
appearances and scoring six of the Lions’ runs in an 8-4 victory. I was at this
game, so I’ll post some more thoughts on it tonight.
Jackson
Liberty 8, Freehold 4: Linnette Siedler and Robyn Czapkowski, the first and
second hitters in the lineup, reached base a combined seven times in eight
plate appearances, and Saltzman drove in three runs as the Lions beat Freehold
in a nondivisional game. Saltzman, who also earned the win in the circle, went
2-for-3 with an RBI single in the bottom of the third that drove in Czapkowski
and a two-run triple in the fifth. Siedler and Czapkowski, who both scored on the triple, scored
six runs between them. They combined for three hits, two walks, two stolen
bases and reached on errors twice. Saltzman’s triple, which she pulled to right
center on the first pitch of the at-bat, put Jackson Liberty ahead, 5-1, but
Freehold got back in the game with three runs in the top of the sixth,
highlighted by Rachel Waldorf’s RBI double. Waldorf finished 2-for-2 with two
doubles, two walks, two runs scored and an RBI. With the score, 5-4, and
runners on first and second with one out in the sixth, Saltzman was relieved by
Taylor Cwalinski, who struck out two batters to end the inning
and closed the game with 1 2/3 hitless innings.

Subject: Nomination for Shore Team
Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 8:17:49 AM EDT
I would like to officially nominate my left fielder, Linnette Siedler, for your travel
softball team. She is a fully committed player that showed great
leadership on and off the field; this is considerably impressive considering
she is only a Soph. She was consistently my lead off batter and almost
always managed to put the ball in play. She led the team with 22 runs scored, and was also
ranked among the best in the Shore with that stat, as well as her hits, at 30. Her batting average was .361
and regularly stole bases because of her amazing speed. Her quickness was
often commented upon by opposing coaches as well. She has recently been
considered for the all-conference team for B-South, but a decision has not been
made on that accolade as of yet. She is a great kid who is very open to
criticism and hard work. Thank you for considering her for your
team. I promise that you will not be disappointed in what you see.
Last year, she also served as my catcher (as a Freshman) until she broke her
hand. She may offer you depth as a back up at that position as an added
bonus. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further
questions regarding Linnette. Thank you.

Jersey Shore eliminated in day's third game
By ROBERT ZIEGLER; STAFF WRITER
The offense carried Jersey Shore through most of the day, but a
defensive meltdown ended the team's Carpenter Cup championship hopes. Jersey
Shore, playing its third game of the day, committed three errors in the bottom
of the third inning that led to four runs and lost 4-1 to SOL American &
Continental at Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park on Monday.
The loss eliminated Jersey Shore from the double-elimination
tournament. It had won four consecutive games since losing to Delaware South in
its first game. Following a one-out single in the third by the No. 9 hitter in
SOL American & Continental's lineup, an error on the second baseman allowed
another batter to reach. The next batter hit a line drive that hit off the tip
of the center fielder's glove and drove in a run to tie the score at 1. A
suicide squeeze then gave SOL American & Continental the lead. The next
batter hit a grounder that wasn't fielded cleanly by the shortstop to bring
home a run and a throwing error on the same play allowed the fourth run to score.
Jersey Shore took a first-inning lead when Kasey Bulman scored on
an error off the bat of Alisha Cumberton. Bulman, leading off the game, reached
on an error and advanced to third on Meghan Ramos' single through the right
side of the infield. Cumberton then hit a grounder to the third baseman, who
after failing to tag out Bulman on her way back to the base, threw high over
the first baseman. Jersey Shore had 29 total hits in its first two games of the
day, but managed just one hit from the third inning on against SOL American
& Continental.
Its best chance to get back in the game came in the fifth, when
Bulman singled and Nicole Saggiomo was hit by a pitch, but Leann Ventriglia
flew out to left-center on the first pitch of her at-bat to end the inning.
Prior to the game against SOL American & Continental, Jersey Shore had a
two-hour break that while giving the team some rest after playing back-to-back
games at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., might have zapped its offensive momentum. "I
think our adrenaline's up when we play right after each other. I guess we got
too relaxed," said Ventriglia, who played a large role in Jersey Shore's
two victories. The Toms River North junior went 2-for-4 with a walk, three RBI
and a run scored in a 13-2 win over Delaware North. Bulman went 4-for-5 with a
triple, three runs scored and an RBI in the game.
Saggiomo, Taylor McDonough, Emma Erbig, Marissa Granato, Linnette Siedler, Ani
Sasala, Brianna Murphy and Daniele Raneri each also drove in runs. Ventriglia
also hit a two-run single to spark Jersey Shore to a 5-3 win over SOL National
& Bicentennial in its second game. Bulman went 2-for-3 and reached on an
error in that game, and McDonough hit a two-run triple and scored in the third.
Sasala started the first game, but Bulman and Jen Retzer again handled the bulk
of the pitching duties. Retzer pitched nine innings over the three games,
giving up a combined two runs on eight hits while striking out 14 and walking
three.
