Old Lyme falls in Class S softball semifinals

Meriden — Old Lyme fell into an early hole in Monday’s CIAC Class S softball tournament semifinal at Dunn Sports Complex.

The Wildcats never climbed out.

Coventry senior pitcher Elizabeth Mitchell, who’s bound for St. Peter’s in the fall, handcuffed No. 6 Old Lyme, which suffered an 8-2 loss. Mitchell tossed a four-hitter, striking out 14 and walking two to send the second-seeded Patriots (23-2) to the state championship game Saturday against No. 9 Holy Cross.

“All year against top notch pitchers, we struggled to score runs so we needed it to be a really low scoring game for us to be competitive,” Old Lyme coach Tim Gavin said. “It just got out of hand with the errors.”

Seven errors hurt Old Lyme (20-6).

After the final out, the Wildcats gathered in short right field for one final time as a team.

“My message was don’t overlook the season they had overall,” Gavin said. “They accomplished a lot of great things. I don’t want them to just be looking at the one game. … You’ve got to keep sight of everything that went on the whole season.

“We didn’t have our A, B or C game today on the defensive side, so we’re not going to compete with good teams when we don’t play well.”

The WIldcat got off to a promising start, scoring a run in the top of the first inning on junior Anna Eichholz’s double and senior Emma Bayor’s RBI single.

But they managed just one more run, and that came in the sixth with the Wildcats trailing 5-1. Sophomore Elena Torres-Russell hit a single that scored freshman Kaylyn Vernon, who reached on an error.

Bayor, who’s headed to Marist in the fall, scattered eight hits in her final high school start on the mound. But the Wildcats made too many mistakes, as they committed at least one error in every Coventry’s scoring outburst.

Coventry jumped ahead for good with a three-run first. Aggressive baserunning, timely hitting and Old Lyme’s shaky fielding sparked the rally. Mitchell’s RBI single put the Patriots in front, 2-1, and sophomore Brooke White’s bunt single pushed the lead to 3-1.

That’s all Mitchell needed. She struck out two batters in every inning.

Old Lyme last reached the semifinals three years ago before losing. The Wildcats allowed a season high for runs on Monday.

“We had a good season,” Gavin said. “We had a lot of positives. I’m pretty proud to coach this team. We went through a few injuries here and there that set us back. But they did a nice job all season. There was good leadership from our seniors.”

The Wildcats are losing seniors Ava Roth, Grace Phaneuf, Grace Zembruski and Bayor.

Bayor struck out eight against Coventry to eclipse the 800 mark for her career.

“That’s quite a career,” Gavin said. “800 strikeouts, she has done the job for us. And she has the school record for home runs, so she does it from both sides. I wish her all the luck in college career.”

Class/Strength

PlayFPN uses this information to create tournaments or divisions within a tournament or to assist in pool play scheduling.

• Note: Once you select a Class/Strength and save your team, you cannot change this yourself. You must contact us to change it.
• A - Any team considered to be the highest-level competitive travel team regionally. If your team is normally in or should be in contention to win each tournament you enter and you beat the "better" teams in your state, and you have multiple front-line pitchers, then you should consider yourself an "A" team. A small percentage of teams qualify for A.
• B - Any team considered to be solid but average to above average travel team. If your team is occasionally in or should be in contention to win a tournament you enter and you are competitive with most teams like you in your state, and you have good but not overwhelming pitching, then you should consider yourself a "B" team. The majority of teams qualify for B. 
• C - Any team considered to be an entry-level or novice travel team with kids new to travel softball and lacks the experience and number of skilled players and pitchers to compete with “A” and “B” teams.  Also, any team that typically plays in a local league or town league or a team that might only play in one or two tournaments a year is considered a "C" team. A small percentage of teams qualify for C.

Pool Play Ranking Criteria

• Total Number of Wins, followed by
• Winning Percentage , followed by
• Average Runs Allowed (total runs allowed / games played), followed by
• Average Runs Scored (total runs scored / games played), followed by
• Season Points that are earned prior to the event being played, followed by
• Date/time the team registered in the system for the season (Ascending).
• Teams A, B, and C are tied for the Total Number of Wins. No Head-to-Head is used and the system moves to Winning Percentage.
• Teams A, B, and C are still tied at Winning Percentage. No Head-to-Head is used and the system moves to Average Runs Allowed.
• Team C allowed an average of 2 runs. Teams A and B are tied allowing an average of 3 runs. Team C is seeded ahead of teams A and B.
• Since teams A and B are the only 2 teams remaining and are tied at Average Runs Allowed, Head-to-Head is looked at between those two teams only.
• If teams A and B never played each other, the system moves on to the next criteria in the tiebreaker chain, Average Runs Scored.
• However, if teams A and B played each other, Head-to-Head is used and the winner of the Head-to-Head game is advanced ahead of the loser of the Head-to-Head game in the final seedings.
• Teams that move ahead via Head-to-Head are noted in the seeding table with an asterisk.

In the case of teams that play an unequal number of pool games due to a situation such as weather, each criterion is always an average (ex: total runs allowed divided by the number of games played). This is how we can most fairly deal with a situation where the weather does not allow all teams to play the same number of games. However, the first criterion is important as teams with a higher number of wins, but an identical winning percentage, will be placed ahead in the seedings. 

In the case where a team plays an extra pool game above the norm due to an uneven number of teams in 3-game pool play, their worst result is removed from the standings. The game will count for the opponent but not for the team that had its result removed. Head-to-head will be nullified for a team whose results were removed.

• By entering your team into the "Penciled In List", your team is registered but not officially accepted into the event.
• Other teams that enter and pay, or other teams on the "Penciled In List" that do pay, will jump ahead of the teams on the "Penciled In List".
• A team on the "Penciled In List" is not counted against the total number of available team slots in an event. Only paid teams are counted against the available team slots in an event.
• The "Penciled In List" negates the need for a waitlist, as unpaid teams can no longer block a paid entry into an event.
• To pay later for an event, go to the Team Dashboard and click the Pay button. However, if the event is full with paid teams, you will not be able to pay and enter but you can remain on the "Penciled In List" in case a team drops out.
