One of Section V’s pitchers' duels pitted Lola Rivera and top-seeded Northstar Christian (15-2) against Mylee Miller and No. 4 Fillmore (13-5) in the Class D1 semifinals. This time, Miller and the defending Section V champs enjoyed the last proverbial laugh.
Miller tossed a five-hit, 14-strikeout shutout at Grace and Truth Park. That was enough to beat Rivera’s 16 strikeouts and three hits allowed in a matchup of standout juniors.
Miller added an RBI and two runs scored while Fillmore senior Morghyn Ross recorded her 200th career hit. This result headlined local softball action on Tuesday, May 26.
