The two-time Tri-Valley League Player of the Year, she concluded her sophomore season of 2007 with a 9-0 record and a 0.00 ERA.
Lexington wins D1 softball title
By Chris Estrada, Globe Correspondent
WORCESTER – Small ball brought the biggest prize for the Lexington softball team tonight at Rockwood Field.
With runners at the corners and one out, Gardner pitcher Elyssa Boris got a third strike on Minuteman batter Amanda McKenna only to see it dropped. McKenna ran to first base to force a throw there, which enabled Beth Rutila to dash home and score. Then in the bottom of the seventh, Kiki Saveriano put the finishing touches on a 16-strikeout no-hitter by striking out the side to give Lexington their first state championship since 1976 with a 1-0 victory over the Wildcats.
“Beth had a great jump and took off right when she should have,” said Lexington coach Frank Pagliuca. “That’s a credit to them and that’s the little things that we’ve been doing up to this point. It’s a great win.”
Pagliuca was also elated for his pitcher’s performance, which he called “unbelievable.”
“[She] proved tonight that she, as I’ve said before, is one of the best pitchers in the state,” he said. “That’s a credit to her demeanor…She got behind on one of the hitters late in the game, I believe 3-0, and she battled back, and that’s her mentality this year. She has really matured to be one of those pitchers.”
Saveriano expected to win the game, but she had no idea that she’d be able to perform at such a high level on perhaps the biggest night of her high school career.
“I expected the team to win it obviously, because we’ve really deserved it this year, but, you know, I only had 16 strikeouts and the team got the other ones,” the happy pitcher said as she clutched the MIAA Div. 1 championship trophy.
“In the beginning of our season, not even the postseason, our team had a hard time coming back in these situations. We’ve definitely learned since the postseason started.”
The Minutemen left the bases loaded in the top of the second, then left five more through the first six innings. But everything came together in the seventh.
Rutila led off the top half of the inning with a walk and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from left fielder Callie Tingley. Sarah Heingartner then laid another bunt just outside of the batter’s box that managed to stay on the fair side of the first baseline.
Heingartner took second on the first pitch to McKenna, who fouled off twice before having her dropped third strike – and then tearing off toward first. Gardner catcher Jocelyn Goodale fired to first baseman Nikki Boris to get McKenna out, but Nikki’s throw back to Goodale was too late as Rutila beat the tag.
“Coach told me to run and I ran, pretty much,” Rutila said. “We went over that in practice yesterday because there was a dropped third strike and in those situations, [Saveriano] didn’t go in for the [at-bat]. I didn’t see her go in, so I went.
“It’s unbelievable. It’s – I don’t know. It hasn’t really sunk in yet.”
As for Wildcats coach Howie Klash, he remained stoic after a second straight defeat for his club in the Div. 1 finals and called his players “fabulous people.” He also had high praise for Saveriano.
“We ran into a tough pitcher today,” he said. “She was real tough, probably the best high school pitcher I’ve seen in all my years of coaching. She was real tough today, there’s no doubt about that.
“[The strikeout play] is tough, but that’s part of the game. A finish like that happens.”
So did Lexington’s ability to stay focused in a tight spot. For Pagliuca, it was another affirmation of that fact.
“We’ve had grinders all the way through and as I’ve said to you before, we know how to play in those situations,” he said. “We didn’t panic, we knew that we would get another opportunity, and we took advantage of that.
“I’m just so proud of them from where they’ve come to where they are now, especially the two seniors [McKenna and Tingley] on our team. For them to go through that, it’s just a great way to end their career."

Taking care of business
By David Carty, Globe Correspondent
TAUNTON -- It was business as usual for the West Bridgewater softball team.
The Wildcats shut down Bristol-Plymouth, 10-0, in the Division 3 South final, their third straight win over the Craftsmen this season - by a combined 42-1 score.
West Bridgewater starter Alyssa Williams carried a perfect game into the sixth inning before pinch hitter Kayla Rasar broke it up with a leadoff single. It was the only blemish for Williams, who struck out only two, relying on her defense to get the outs.
"They can flash the leather when they have to," said co-coach Richard Zanca.
They can also get the job done with the aluminum. West Bridgewater had seven hits, including a triple by freshman Alyssa Gray, and were aided by nine walks.
Williams appreciated the support. "It helps you calm down so your nerves don't get control of you," she said.
The sectional title is the third straight for the Wildcats, and the sixth in seven years.
West Bridgewater faces North champion St. Mary's Tuesday in Lowell.
Junior cocaptain Samantha Doyle got the nod for B-P, but allowed seven base runners - six on walks - in the first inning. B-P fell in a 5-0 hole they would not be able to climb out of.
"I thought the tone was set with the first [West Bridgewater] batter," Craftsmen coach Paul Westner said. "She wound up walking her and it was all downhill from there."
West Bridgewater drew nine walks at the plate and logged seven hits, including a triple by freshman Alyssa Gray.
The win extends West Bridgewater's dominance on the softball diamdon. "We know the tradition here and it feels good to win it again," said Meg Dow, Mayflower League MVP.
Both Dow and Williams shook off the idea that winning may be getting old. For Williams and Co., there's one very clear goal in mind: "We want to go all the way," she said.
A few game notes:
- According to co-head coach Ed Fitzgerald, West Bridgewater has not committed an error throughout the tournament. In Sunday's game alone, West Bridgewater cleanly recorded 19 of 21 outs. "We put the ball in play," Westner said. "They just got everything we hit."
- West Bridgewater had an easy run in the regular season, averagin 14 runs per game and obliterating many of their opponents. The tournament has been a completely different beast. The Wildcats only scored four runs in each of their games against Hull and Harwich. They even needed some heroics - a walkoff single by do-it-all Williams - to knock off Hull.
- Lowell is a hike for both St. Mary's and West Bridgewater. St. Mary's can expect about a 45-minute drive; West Bridgewater about an hour.
- The Wildcats must be happy to see a different opponent this year. North Reading knocked the Wildcats out of the tournament each of the last two years. They have Austin Prep to thank for bumping them out in the D3 North quarterfinals.
- If you think the well is running dry on talent in West Bridgewater, think again. Williams and Dow are the only two departing seniors for the 'Cats. On Sunday, eight freshmen started between the two teams.
- Here's the game line score:
Bristol-Plymouth - 000 000 0 - 0 1 1
West Bridgewater - 500 014 X - 10 7 0
Lexington outlasts Billerica
LOWELL -- After getting two hits in the first inning, it had been a tough going for the Lexington softball team when the seventh inning rolled around in a scoreless MIAA Div. 1 North final at Martin Field.
Billerica's Sarah Quatiere had done a masterful job throughout the day, keeping the Minuteman offense shackled with a steady dose of changeups. So when pitcher Kiki Saveriano stepped into the batter's box to start the bottom of the seventh, she decided on a plan.
"I was thinking not to be swinging at the changeup," she said. "I was waiting for a changeup, and then I would swing at the pitch after the changeup."
The plan worked. With two strikes against her, Saveriano jumped on an outside fastball and send it to right field for a double. After that came catcher Alyssa Zahka, who ripped a soaring shot to the left field fence that scored pinch runner Meaghan Murphy and gave Lexington the North title with a 1-0 victory.
For Zahka, it was about overcoming a lost opportunity to get Lexington ahead in the bottom of the first inning, when she struck out with runners on second and third.
"In the first inning, I left [second baseman] Amanda McKenna on third, and I promised myself that this would be it," Zahka said in reference to her at-bat in the seventh. "I tried my hardest to put it in play...It's what you wanna do in that situation. I'd take four singles over a home run."
It was exactly what Lexington coach Frank Pagliuca was looking for.
"We talked about it on deck, and [Zahka] said, 'I got this, Coach'," he said. "She's done an outstanding job all year behind the plate...I wanted her to put the ball in paly and she did that."
Pagliuca was also happy with Saveriano's 12-strikeout effort despite less-than-ideal pitching conditions with 90-degree heat and high humidity.
"It's not the ideal pitching situation," he said. "When it's hot like this, you tend to lose control. She had to re-focus on her pitch selection, which is not easy in this kind of weather."
After Lexington had the first big crack at scoring in the first, Quatiere and Saveriano settled in and had their pitcher's duel. While the former induced plenty of pop flies and ground balls from the Minuteman offense, the latter used her powerful heater to blow away the Indians. Both ways were effective.
But just as Quatiere was in the first, Saveriano became under siege in the bottom of the sixth. After getting Leah McWilliams to ground out, Quatiere laced a single up the middle. She was followed by Jamie Jacobs, who ripped a line drive just to the right of Lexington third baseman Beth Rutila's glove and down the left field line.
Lily Perkins then hit into a fielder's choice, enabling both runners to move up to second and third base. But when she needed it the most, Saveriano came up with a strikeout against senior Nikki Giatas to end the inning.
Billerica coach Patti Higgins said in that situation and others earlier in the game, her team wasn't able to get the critical hit that would have put a crucial run on the board.
"We just couldn't get the hit and they did," she said. "[Saveriano] shut us down when we needed a hit...We got people on with two outs, and we couldn't get the hit. She came back, fought, and sat us down."
Despite the loss, however, Higgins was thrilled with her team's season and run through the playoffs.
"Nobody thought we would be in this game," she said. "But we were confident that we'd be here."
Lexington will now face South champion Braintree on Tuesday at Martin Field for the Div. 1 EMass championship. The Wamps dispatched last year's Div. 1 state champ Taunton, 2-0, on Friday night.

Saveriano shines for Lexington
softball
No. 13 Lexington 4, No. 17 Stoneham 1
STONEHAM -- No. 13 Lexington (9-0) once again rode the efforts of junior pitcher Kiki Saveriano in a 4-1 victory on the road against No. 17 Stoneham.
Saveriano struck out 16 batters and allowed just three hits and one walk in the game. She also helped her own cause with the bat, hitting a solo shot to center field in the top of the sixth inning to make it 4-0 in favor of the Minutemen.
"The pitcher kept throwing outside, so I moved closer to the plate," she said of her home run. "I just got a piece of it."
Lexington also got big contributions from catcher Alyssa Zahka, who got two hits including a two-run double in the third inning that scored Meaghan Murphy and Sarah Heingartner and gave the Minutemen a 3-0 edge.
Zahka also short-circuited a potential Stoneham rally in the bottom of the fourth. After Saveriano struck out Spartans pitcher Jenny Lacolla (10 strikeouts, 8 hits allowed) for the second out, Zakha threw out baserunner Shannon Torosian at second base to end the inning with a double-play.
However, Lexington coach Frank Pagliuca felt that while his team got the win, there was plenty of room for improvement heading into Monday's game with rival Burlington.
"It was a nice win against a good Stoneham team, but I thought defensively, we had some inconsistent moments," he said. "Kiki pitched another good game and offensively, we had some good couple of innings, we had some runners on and we moved some runners.
"But we need to take a little bit better approach at the plate. I think sometimes, we went up there without a plan and against a good pitcher, you need to be ready to go. We gotta be a little more consistent in that aspect."
The Spartans made another attempt to get back in the game in the fifth inning. After Paige Minotti slapped a one-out single to center, Holly Eicher followed with another base hit that moved Minotti over to third. Eicher then stole second base to put Saveriano in a tight spot, but she recorded back-to-back strikeouts to escape.
"I expect her to throw strikes and she has very good command of her pitches, but it’s not just her, it’s the whole defensive team as one," Pagliuca said about that defensive stand.
"I expect them to make plays and they have high expectations on themselves to make all the plays defensively. Besides the errors we made today, we’ve been very consistent on not letting the teams get extra hits or extra outs or extra bases... Fortunately, we did what we needed to do and we held on for the win."

Hitting on all cylinders
softball
Concord-Carlisle 10, Acton-Boxboro 4
CONCORD -- It's a whole lot easier to lose an All-Scholastic pitcher when the bats you bring back can pick up the slack.
Concord-Carlisle softball coach Lisa McGloin hoped her team's lumber could carry her Patriots while the pitching and defense came along on a young team. She probably didn't expect 66 runs over five games, including double-digit run production in each contest.
Concord-Carlisle settled for its lowest offensive output of the season Wednesday, striking for seven runs over the first two innings en route to a 10-4 triumph over Dual County League rival Acton-Boxboro.
The Patriots (5-0) posted 12 hits on the day and were paced by cleanup hitter Georgia Guttadauro, who delivered a three-run home run in the second inning while driving in five runs overall.
"We sorta figured hitting would have to carry us the first half of the season because we're young on pitching and defense... real young," said McGloin. "I knew we could hit, but I didn't know we could hit this well. To do what we did today against two very good pitchers (from Acton-Boxboro) really impressed me."
The Colonials (4-1) struck for two runs in the top of the first when Yaya Faria's two-out single skipped through Concord's right fielder allowing both Erin Fry and Lauren Murphy to scramble home.
Concord-Carlisle never flinched. It produced some two-out magic of its own in the home half of the frame as Guttadauro and Casey Tarca both produced RBI doubles to even the game before Casey Tarca's single put the Patriots out front to stay.
Guttadauro's bomb over the right-field fence in the second frame helped Concord take a 7-3 advantage and it never really looked back from there.
"They're a good hitting team," said Acton-Boxboro first-year coach Mary Matthews, who coached many of the opposing players as part of a summer squad she runs with McGloin. "We gave up some bad pitches to good hitters and that hurt us."
Both teams showed some confidence in young hurlers as Concord sent freshman Gayle Miner to oppose Fry, a sophomore.
Miner has big shoes to fill and ones she's all too familiar with in big sister, Kim Miner, the Globe's reigning Division 2 Player of the Year (now at Tufts). Kim Miner guided the Patriots to a perfect 20-0 regular-season record last spring, while posting a 14-1 record overall with a 0.49 ERA.
After some first-inning nerves, Gayle Miner (who is splitting starts this season with junior Shannon Dalton) calmly navigated to the finish line. She gave up single runs in the third and seventh innings, but also struck out Acton's No. 4 and 5 hitters with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth to effectively slam the door on any comeback thoughts.
She finished with 13 strikeouts. All the more impressive considering A-B hadn't struck out a single time in its last two games.
Fry got chased from the game in the fourth inning, but Matthews is confident she'll bounce back. Faria pitched the final 2 2/3 innings, giving up a lone run in the sixth.
"This was a good test for us at this point of the season," said Matthews. "I think it provides a nice wake-up call and let's us know we're not just going to roll through the season. We'll learn from this."
For Concord, this was its fifth straight game with double digits in runs, having posted wins over Newton South (16-1), Westford (17-2 in 5 innings), Weston (11-1), and Boston Latin (12-0).
McGloin likes how everything is coming along. She heaped the most praise on Jessica Stout, who moved from the outfield to behind the plate to seal up a gaping hole left by Lisa DeBruzzi.
The two teams joust against in Acton on May 12.
CC, 10-4 (final)
Concord-Carlisle emerges with a 10-4 triumph over Acton-Boxboro in a Dual County League matchup.
Georgia Guttadauro paces the Patriots with 5 RBIs, here big 3-run home run in the second inning helping her squad open some breathing room that allowed them to breeze to the finish.
More to come on this one in a bit, including video highlights.
6th inning
C-C, 10-3 (end of 6th)
Casey Tarca's fielder's choice grounder back to the mound plates Emily Beinecke as Concord-Carlisle enters double digits with a 10-3 advantage through six frames.
Three outs to go here.
5th inning
C-C, 9-3 (end of 5th)
Finally, a scoreless inning. C-C remains out front, 9-3, moving to the sixth inning.
4th inning
C-C, 9-3 (end of 4th)
Georgia Guttadauro doesn't need to hit the ball far to drive in runs.
The senior first baseman drove in her fifth run of the game on a ground out to first base plating Carly Streeter as the Patriots chased Acton-Boxboro starter Erin Fry from the game and lead, 9-3, at the end of four innings.
Yaya Faria has taken over in the circle for Acton.
3rd inning
C-C, 7-3 (end of 3rd)
Acton-Boxboro pulls one back in the third thanks to an RBI double by Lauren Murphy (plating Erin Fry, who had a one-out double), but the Colonials still trail host Concord-Carlisle, 7-3, moving to the fourth frame.
2nd inning
C-C, 7-2 (end of 2nd)
Maybe it's the three extra feet.
We're not certain we've seen offense like this in a softball game in years, but Concord-Carlisle just erupted for four more runs in the second innings -- keyed by a 3-run homer by cleanup hitter Georgia Guttadauro -- and the Patriots lead rival Acton-Boxboro, 7-2, moving to the third inning.
1st inning
C-C, 3-2 (end of 1st)
Yaya Faria delivered a two-out single plating two runs (Erin Fry and Lauren Murphy) as Acton-Boxboro jumped on top of Concord-Carlisle, 2-0, in top of the first.
But the Patriots responded with a little two-out magic in the home half of the inning. Emily Beinecke reached on an infield single before Georgia Guttadauro and Casey Tarca each followed with RBI doubles. Jessica Stout singled home Tarca for a 3-2 advantage.
Today's pitching matchup features Concord's Gayle Miner (kid sister of the Globe's reigning Division 2 Player of the Year Kim Miner, who is now at Tufts) opposing Acton-Boxboro's Erin Fry.
Pregame
Welcome to Concord. It's a gorgeous spring afternoon with nothing but blue skies above and a temperature of 64 degrees.
Concord-Carlisle's defense just took the field. We're about to get underway. Back with more throughout the afternoon.
***
A reminder that we'll be live from Concord this afternoon, where the undefeated Concord-Carlisle softball team hosts Acton-Boxboro in a Dual County League showdown of undefeateds.
Both teams enter with a 4-0 mark on the young season, but they share more in common than that. Acton-Boxboro first-year head coach Mary Matthews and veteran Concord-Carlisle skipper Lisa McGloin coach a summer squad together, so needless to say both sides know each other well.
We'll have live updates from the game and we'll capture video highlights for the site. Stay close.
The week ahead
Here's what we've got penciled in for live coverage the next few days. As usual, we'll provide live updates from these games and we'll capture video highlights for the site:
Tuesday: boys' lacrosse Billerica at Reading, 4 p.m.
Reading is one of the most intriguing stories of the young season. The Rockets posted a quality 14-4 mark out of the Middlesex League last season, but earned the 14th seed in the Eastern Mass. Division 2 tournament and fell to North Andover, 6-4, in a first-round matchup.
After two quality efforts against Lexington last season, the Rockets finally broke through by topping the Minutemen, 11-10, this past Friday. Reading now stands at 5-0, but Billerica should provide one of the loftiest tests the Rockets will encounter during the regular season in this nonleague battle.
Wednesday: softball Acton-Boxboro at Concord-Carlisle, 4 p.m.
Concord-Carlisle dominated the Dual County League while putting together a perfect regular season last spring, but it was Acton-Boxboro that shone brightest during the postseason.
While the top-seeded Patriots endured an unceremonious quarterfinal exit in the Division 2 North bracket, A-B stormed all the way to the Division 1 North finals before the 10th-seeded Colonials fell to Reading in the championship tilt.
Thursday: baseball Xaverian at Lincoln-Sudbury, 4 p.m.
Fresh off a thrilling win over second-ranked BC High, Xaverian boasts a 5-0 mark and is the only Catholic Conference squad without a blemish thus far. The Hawks will make the trek to Sudbury, where the defending Division 1 champions continue to roll with a 4-0 record on the young season. The Warriors have outscored opponents, 32-7, during those wins, but Xaverian will pose the biggest challenge of the season.
