Immaculate Heart Academy won its third straight Non-Public “A” state softball championship with a 5-1 win over Donovan Catholic at Kean University.  SSZ has extended highlights and post-game reaction in our US Army Softball Game of the Week

IHA 5 Donovan Catholic 1

Immaculate Heart Academy excelled in hitting, pitching and defense to top the Griffins for a second straight year in the Non-Public “A” softball finals.  A Mia Recenello solo homer got the scoring started for the Blue Eagles in the second inning and a Reagan Jones RBI single made it a 2-0 lead.  Donovan Catholic threatened in the fifth inning thanks to a Lindsay Nelson RBI double, but Jayda Kearney’s deep blast to right center was a couple of feet away from a go ahead two run homer, but instead was caught at the fence.  IHA sealed a third straight state title with a three run fifth.  Watch all the highlights and post-game reaction in our US Army Softball Game of the Week:
