LVC softball semis: Becahi beats Northampton 4-1, advances to league final

FROM KEITH GROLLER

One big inning was the difference as Bethlehem Catholic advanced to the Lehigh Valley Conference softball title game with a 4-1 win over Northampton.

Lauren Visconti's three-run triple highlighted a four-run second inning. Winning pitcher Joelle Morey followed with a run-scoring single and that's all the Golden Hawks needed.

They will play Liberty at 2 p.m. Sunday and a win would give Becahi its first league title.

Northampton, which got two hits from Julia Weber, fell to 13-8.

The K-Kids will participate in the District 11 4A tournament with a game either on Tuesday or Thursday.
