SWAMPSCOTT – Cinderella will have to wait 24 more hours to see if she can take her place atop the District 16 softball ladder.Swampscott made sure that West Lynn American would have no celebration on its home field Tuesday as it ran out to a 10-1 lead, knocking out American starter Ivy Martin in the process, and cruised to a 14-6 win.Click here for a photo gallery.The two teams will meet today (5:30) at Lynn Woods Field to play for the District title and a trip to the sectional tourney.”We were ready for them (Tuesday),” Swampscott manager Eve Gambale said. “We worked on our bunt defenses and our hitting and played very well.”Unlike the teams’ first meeting a week ago, when WLA bunted and small-balled its way to victory over Swampscott, the hosts never let West Lynn get its running game going. Swampscott also took advantage of its spot as the visiting team to punch early and often.”We let them jump on us and they are a momentum team,” American manager Steve Martin said. “They’ve always been like that. We didn’t play our best game and they had a lot to do with that.”Swampscott threw the first haymaker early, plating three runs off Ivy Martin in the top of the first.Sarah Hingston led off with a single and promptly stole second. She came around to score on Emma Faulkner’s one-out single.Faulkner stole second and went to third when Christina King reached on an error. Gabby Fagone followed with a single to make it 2-0 and King scored on a wild pitch for the 3-0 lead.Julia Potter set West Lynn down in order in the bottom of the first, giving her teammates a chance to expand the lead in the second.Swampscott would send 12 batters to the plate in the second, scoring seven times and knocking Martin out of the contest. Madeline Dove singled to lead off and later scored on a wild pitch.Hingston followed with a walk and used her speed to also score on a wild pitch for a 5-0 lead. Jess Potter and Faulkner followed with walks to knock Martin out in favor of Tayla Harkness.King rudely greeted her with a 3-run inside-the-park homer to push the lead out to 8-0. Fagone followed with a hit, stole second and scored on Julia Potter’s base hit. Potter would cross on Sophia Kennedy’s fielder’s choice to complete the big inning.”If we didn’t give them all those extra outs, we probably would have been right in the game,” Martin said. “But we knew it would be a battle with Swampscott and all the credit to them for jumping on us.”Swampscott added two more runs in the top of the third to make it a 12-1 game before WLA charged back in the bottom of the inning.Gambale elected to save starter Julia Potter in case of an if-necessary game and sent King to the circle in the third. West Lynn took advantage of the change to explode for five runs and make things interesting.Angela Unuban led off with a walk and scored on Brandy Sequeira’s groundout. Martin followed with a base hit that scored Jen Ierardi before a walk and an error allowed Martin to score.Harkness would score on a passed ball, in front of Shannon Magner, whose heads-up running let her score from second on the play to make it 12-6.”West Lynn is a strong team and we knew they’d fight back,” Gambale said. “That’s why I was hesitant to put Christina in, but she settled down nicely after that inning.”Swampscott got single runs back in the fifth and sixth innings to push the lead to 14-6 and ensure a date in Lynn today.
