LYNN – Look up perfection in the dictionary and it’s possible you might find a picture of the Lynn 14U Babe Ruth softball team.Because there’s really no way you can find fault with a thing the team did over the weekend. The Ruthians won two games at Rogato Field on the grounds of Breed Middle School, both by 5-0 scores, to win the state championship and advance to the New England regionals in two weeks in Pittsfield.Click here for a photo gallery.In three games, Lynn outscored its opposition 21-0. Katie Cuozzo, who won two of the games, allowed only three hits – all of them in Sunday’s 5-0 win over Arlington.Saturday, Brooke L’Abbe struck out 10 and allowed only two hits in Lynn’s 5-0 win over Kingston.”Everybody was outstanding all weekend long,” said Lynn manager Wayne Kerrins. “Our pitching ? our defense ? everything.”And in the “A Star Is Born” category, there was Dummer Academy-bound catcher Paola Ottero, who, in her first year playing softball (she’d played baseball up to this year), was a one-woman wrecking crew. She was named the MVP for Sunday’s game, getting three hits before finally being retired by a line drive back to the mound in the seventh inning.She swung the hot bat all weekend, so much so that Kerrins put her up to the second spot Sunday hoping to jump-start an offense that only got five hits (scoring four of its runs on walks and errors) Saturday.”We changed things around a little to try and get some more offense,” he said.One would have to say it worked – although not immediately. Lynn loaded the bases in the first inning on back-to-back singles by Ottero and Cuozzo and when Arlington’s Erica County plunked Kaitlin Calef. But that was as far as it got, as County got out of the jam by retiring Danielle Moran on a fly ball to center.The Lynners didn’t break through until the third, scoring three runs. Ottero started things off with a single and after Cuozzo reached on an error, L’Abbe’s sacrifice fly brought courtesy runner Tatania Doucette home.Calef’s single scored Cuozzo, and Calef came home on an error, making the score 3-0, Lynn.The way Cuozzo was pitching, that seemed to be more than enough. But for good measure, the Lynners scored two more in the fourth. Kim Shinnick led off with a bunt single, stole second, took third on Ottero’s base hit, and scored on a bunt by Cuozzo. Doucette, pinch-running for Ottero, came home on L’Abbe’s single.This is the second year in a row that this age group has captured the state championship.Saturday, Lynn broke open a tight game by scoring four runs in the third inning on two walks and three Kingston errors.Arlington, as the tournament’s runner-up, will also travel to Pittsfield in two weeks.”I would like to thank the Babe Ruth staff for all it did to make this tournament happen,” said Kerrins, who was one of the coaches of the 2000 16U team that went to the Babe Ruth World Series. “Our kids wanted this. They wanted it real bad.”The Ben Bowzer Complex on O’Callaghan Way will be a busy place this weekend, as both the 15-year-old baseball states and 16U softball states will be held on its grounds.
