The Saugerties varsity girls softball team stumbled against Kingston on May 21, falling 8-2 after the Tigers broke open the game with a six-run fifth inning.

Saugerties had five players record hits in the loss. Ava Stinemire helped lead the offense, going 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI.

The Sawyers responded the next day with a 7-5 win over Pine Plains, then added an 8-4 victory over New Paltz on May 28. The two wins lifted Saugerties to 12-8 overall and 9-2 in league play, according to MaxPreps.

The May 21 game, captured here in photos, was part of a late-season stretch that showed both the challenge and resilience of the Sawyers’ season.
