Dedham High Girls' Softball Team Headed to Division 2 South Finals

Every year, there is a team who comes out of nowhere and going on to knock out teams seeded ahead of them in state tournament seeding.

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the Dedham High girls' softball, the 2013 winner of the award.

Dedham will be playing in the Division 2 South finals against Bishop Stang at Taunton High, Sunday, in a 4 p.m. game.

After entering the tournament as the No. 18 seed with an 11-9 record, Dedham has been riding the strong arm of Amanda Carilli and their hots bats throughout the postseason.

In the tournament, Dedham has already beaten Norton, the No. 2 seed , 10-1, then in their only close game of the postseason, defeating the No. 10 seed Apponequet, 2-1, and then earned its spot in the finals with a 9-1 win over No. 6 Duxbury, Wednesday.

For those keeping score at home, the tally for Dedham vs. opponents is 21 runs scored and three allowed.

Now, Dedham is hoping that trends continues against Bishop Stang.
