Chopticon beats Sherwood in 3A softball final, earning first title in 40 years
Facing Sherwood's Faith Goolsbee with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Chopticon pitcher Karllie Nelson fell behind in the count. With a runner on first and Chopticon up by two, Goolsbie represented the tying run.
The sticky situation was nothing new for Nelson, who had battled from behind against hitters all Friday night in the Maryland Class 3A softball final. But when Nelson tossed an inside fastball, Goolsbie got her hands to the ball and launched it in the air.
