Pine Plains tops Webutuck softball

PINE PLAINS — Stissing Mountain High School’s varsity softball team found little resistance against Webutuck during a Thursday, April 14, match, invoking the mercy rule after five innings and a 15-0 score.Top batters for Pine Plains included freshmen Julia Purus (batting two for three with three RBIs) and Megan Proper (two for two with four RBIs and a double) and junior Anna Woodward (who went two for three with two RBIs and one double).Webutuck’s lone hit came courtesy of junior Sam Murphy in the second inning.Pine Plains coach Les Funk said this year’s team is mix of older and younger players, but having all of his pitchers return this year is one of the team’s strong points.“We’ve had some good scrimmages against some tough teams,” Funk said. “There are still some holes to fill, but some of the younger kids are really hitting the ball well.”Webutuck coach Evelyn Peters, coaching the first varsity softball team at the school in two years, said she’s been impressed that the girls work so hard, even if they have yet to get their first win.“The girls have been working extremely hard and they’re very dedicated,” she said. “They want to learn, and even though we haven’t gotten a win yet I think we walk away from every game with something, and they learn something from the game.”Pine Plains is now 2-1, following a loss to Red Hook on April 16. Webutuck drops to 0-5.
