Co-Female Athletes of the Week
Alice Fitzpatrick, Union Grove Union High School softball: Fitzpatrick scored the run that tied the game April 3 against Wilmot, but also had another outstanding pitching performance.
Fitzpatrick struck out eight and walked four in Union Grove’s 3-1 win over Wilmot last week. The senior scored after a leadoff walk in the seventh inning, one of three runs for the Broncos’ in the top of the seventh at Wilmot.
Alecia Faber, Union Grove Union High School softball: Faber scored the winning run of Union Grove’s 3-1 victory over the Panthers, and was one of just three players in the same position as last year for the defending Division 2 state champions.
Faber was solid behind the plate for the Broncos, and scored the game-winner on a hard single by Sarah Petrovic.
Also considered: Sarah Petrovic, Union Grove Union High School softball.
