Mathews dominates for 5th consecutive district title
ALLIANCE, Ohio (WKBN) – Mathews softball beats Badger 10-0 in six innings for the Mustangs' fifth consecutive district title in the OHSAA Division VII District Championship game in Alliance on Saturday afternoon.
Watch above for extended highlights and interviews with the Mustangs.
'It's amazing, the only place I would want to be is here with my girls,' said Mathews senior pitcher Olivia Matheny. 'It's a great feeling to be here.'
Matheny pitched all six innings to earn the win. She almost completed the no-hitter but gave up only one hit and no runs.
Mathews made history with the title win by being the first senior group in school history to win a district championship every year of their high school careers.
'This is the first time we've ever had a senior class win four district titles in a row, set history at Mathews,' said Mathews head coach Jim Nicula. 'It's a big emotional moment for a lot of them, and it's just tremendous.'
Badger ends the season with an overall record of 11-8. Mathews moves on in the OHSAA tournament with a record of 23-4.
Mathews advances to the Division VII Regional Semifinals next week.
