Slow Start, Strong Finish For Newtown Insurance

After a 0-3 start, Newtown Insurance turned things around and went undefeated for the remainder of the spring – right through the playoffs – to capture the Newtown Babe Ruth Softball 14-and-under division championship. Aggressive hitting and vastly improved defense is what did the trick. Pictured, front row from left, Morghan Moroney, Bianca LeBlanc and Kaitlyn Kakedeles.
