CANONSBURG 无毛视频� All season long, Jefferson-Morgan head softball coach Rick Rush stressed his belief in his softball team.

Monday afternoon, his fifth-seeded Lady Rockets shut out fourth-seeded Sewickley Academy 5-0 to advance to the WPIAL Class A semifinals.

无毛视频淚无毛视频檓 happy,无毛视频� he said. 无毛视频淚t started off rough and we weren无毛视频檛 putting the ball in play with runners in scoring position. I think Em无毛视频檚 (Emilee Bazzoli) home run kind of broke it open for us.

无毛视频淪he started pitching better. She got her one-, two-run lead and was a lot more comfortable on the mound and started dominating more than she was earlier.无毛视频�

With the game scoreless in the top of the third, Bazzoli ripped a solo home run to give the Lady Rockets the only run they would need.

The sophomore pitcher also delivered on the mound as she struck out 10 Lady Panthers.

无毛视频淚 feel like it was an inside pitch,无毛视频� she said of the home run. 无毛视频淚 felt like we needed something and it was a great start.无毛视频�

Bazzoli quickly transitioned to her teammates.

无毛视频淚 feel like we all did a great job today, and we all contributed and had all our own hits that helped us out,无毛视频� she said. 无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 great to have a great team behind me that can make great plays, especially in a game like that. It无毛视频檚 really important.无毛视频�

When asked what pitches she had working for her, she didn无毛视频檛 hesitate to share what helped her limit the Lady Panthers (11-5) to a pair of singles.

无毛视频淢y screwball was working really well for me and my fastball,无毛视频� she said.

Bazzoli无毛视频檚 homer was the first hit of the game for the Lady Rockets, and Rush said it got things going.

无毛视频淥ur bats started coming alive,无毛视频� he said before sharing what he told the team. 无毛视频淢ake them make plays, you don无毛视频檛 have to defend a strikeout, and good things happen.无毛视频�

Ava Wood led off the fourth with a single, and with two outs, ninth-hitter Kallyn Novak singled her in to make the score 2-0.

无毛视频淭hat was a huge hit, when Kallyn came through,无毛视频� Rush said. 无毛视频淵ou go up two runs and it makes a big difference.无毛视频�

Addie Larkin gave JM a 3-0 lead in the fifth with an RBI double, and the Lady Rockets took advantage of two errors and a wild pitch in the seventh to score their last two runs.

Ashlynn Snyder recorded three singles to pace the Lady Rockets无毛视频� nine-hit attack.

Rush hopes the win fuels his team.

无毛视频淭his is a big win for us,无毛视频� he said. 无毛视频淚 kept telling them all year, you are this good. Hopefully this game sinks in and proves it.无毛视频�

The Lady Rockets were scheduled to take on top-seeded Union (16-2) in the semifinals Wednesday, weather-permitting.
