Date: 25 April 2008 Park View 5, Heritage 3
Park
View overcame the late return of three of their senior team leaders
from their physics field trip to eke out a 5-3 victory over a much
improved Heritage Pride softball team. Robin Heironimus picked up her
first win as a pitcher at Park View with her second complete game of
the season. Based on her showing tonight, her victory was likely the
first of many. Heritage jumped off to a 3-0 lead before she settled
down and retired the last 16 hitters. The team started with nine
players as three of the senior team leaders were held up in traffic on
their return from the field trip. All three contributed greatly,
however, in the come from behind win. Emily Garcia had a hit and drove
in a run; Sam Louk also had a hit and Laura Heironimus led off the
all-important sixth inning with a hit and scored the tying run.
Offensively, Felicia Price, Ally Rupard, Brittany Griffin and Rebecca
Patton all had two hits apiece—part of a 13 hit attack by the
Patriots. Robin pitched all seven innings amassing 13 strikeouts and
walking nobody—a very sound effort for the freshman. Park View hosts
Dominion on Monday, Potomac Falls on Tuesday, Herndon on Wednesday and
travels back to Dominion on Friday next week—lots of softball to go
around.
Date: 24 April 2008 Park View 13, Loudoun County 10
Park
View avenged its opening game loss by beating Loudoun County 13-10 in a
wild, error-filled slugfest. The two teams combined for 32 hits—20 by
Park View. Park View overcame a number of errors—so many, in fact,
that although 10 runs were scored by County, only three were earned.
This game was quite a contrast to the first one. Laura Heironimus went
the distance and got the win to up her record to 5-2. Park View moved
to 5-4 on the season. Leading the offense was Robin Heironimus, Emily
Garcia, Sam Louk and Brittany Griffin—all with three hits for the
Patriots. Brittany drove in three runs with two doubles. As the
softball pundits are apt to say, sometimes you take the W and move
on—it wasn’t pretty but it’s a W. Park View hosts Heritage tomorrow
night and has four games scheduled for the following week—Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
Date: 18 April 2008 Park View 18 Freedom 0

Laura had 7 strikeouts and gave up just two hits. It’s her third
shutout of the season. Laura’s record now stands at 4-2. Offensively,
the evening belonged to Emily Garcia, Sam Louk and Brittany Griffin—all
of whom had three hits. Kristin Oravetz had two hits including a
two-run triple that traveled high and far. Ally Rupard continued her
productive season with 3 RBIs. Robin Heironimus added a double to her
impressive freshman year, as well. Miranda Kinney came off the bench
to collect a two run single in a big third inning.
Park View plays three games next week—at Stone Bridge on Monday, at

over Loudoun County would put Park View in a tie for second in the
District.

with two hits, two runs scored and two runs batted in. She and Rebecca
Patton each collected two hits for the Patriots. Park View travels to

tying and go-ahead runs just ahead of right fielder Sam Gleason’s
throw. Park View committed three errors on the evening—one of which led
