Softball wins fifth straight with shutout of Butler

Posted on:

North Allegheny traveled to Butler High School on Tuesday afternoon to take on the Golden Tornado in a Section 1-6A matchup. Storms came through and the game was called in the top of the sixth inning but five is enough for an official game and the Tigers came away with the 5-0 victory over Butler for their fifth straight win.

Sammy Plotsko got the win in the circle for NA striking out four batters. She also had a hit and drove in a run. Allison Friend was 3 for 3 with a double, a home run and three RBIs for the Tigers.

North Allegheny improves to 11-7 overall and 10-5 in the section. Butler falls to 2-15 overall and 2-11 in section play. The Tigers return to action on Friday when they host Mt. Lebanon at 4 p.m. This game will be broadcast on the North Allegheny Sports Network.
