Hoboken High softball shut out in states

The Hoboken High softball team saw its season come to an end after being defeated by Secaucus 6-0 in the quarterfinals of the NJSIAA North 2, Group 1 tournament at JFK Stadium.

The fourth-seeded Red Wings were never able to figure out Secaucus pitcher Danielle Roesing. Thanks Roesing's pitching and a good defense behind her, Hoboken was held to just three hits in defeat. Roesing struck out five and held the Red Wings without a baserunner over the final four innings.

Fifth-seeded Secaucus took the lead in the second inning with a three-run homer from right fielder Jessie Koerner. The visiting Patriots would add to their lead with two more runs in the fourth and one in the fifth.

Jayla Vega tossed a complete game for Hoboken. The junior right-hander allowed six runs (four eraned) on seven hits and three walks. She struck out two.

Sybil Lynch, Nicollette Martinez and Kayla Morrisette each had a hit and a stolen base in defeat.

Hoboken finishes the 2011 season with a record of 18-6.
