Mitty ends St. Ignatius’ softball season with 7-1 semifinal win

If you’re going to have the best softball season in school history come to an end, it might as well come at the hands of the queens of the sport in the Central Coast Section.

Mitty, which has won more CCS titles than any other school (15), ended St. Ignatius’ season with a 7-1 Open Division semifinal victory at Hawes Field in Redwood City.

An RBI double from Mariah Dewey opened the scoring during a three-run outburst in the third inning, and Mitty (19-7) broke open the game with five hits in the fifth to move into Saturday’s final at San Jose PAL Stadium against West Catholic Athletic League rival St. Francis, a 4-2 winner over Watsonville.
