Athlete of the Week – Lily Ventre – Saugus softball

Joey Barrett

April 30, 2024 by Joey Barrett

You know what I’ve been thinking? If the Red Sox – hovering around .500 by press time – are looking for a hitter, they should make their way to Saugus and talk with Lily Ventre.

The softball star has been on a mission the last four games, connecting at the plate with ease. Here’s a rundown:

Swampscott (5-4 win): single, 3-run home run
Salem (15-3 loss): RBI single, run
Lynn English (5-0 win): 4-for-4
Revere (15-14 loss): 2-for-3, 3 RBI

Her biggest highlight was the 3-run shot against Swampscott, giving the Sachems a sixth-inning lead en route to a win. In the Salem game, her RBI single was one of three Saugus runs.

Nearing the midway point of the season, Ventre is well on her way to becoming a Northeastern Conference All-Star as her team sits at 4-5.

Ventre and company visit Beverly at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Will she keep smashing, or will the Panthers pounce at home?

Lily, good week.
