FROM KEITH GROLLER

Northampton, Whitehall and Freedom were the big winners on  Tuesday's softball card.

Northampton clinched the top seed for the Lehigh Valley Conference tournament, Whitehall clinched a District 11 tournament berth and Freedom (with help from Northampton) sealed a LVC tourney spot.

Here's a look back:

LVC

Emmaus 11, Dieruff 0 -- Green Hornets, we think, will play Northampton in second game of Monday's LVC doubleheader.

Easton 13, Liberty 7 -- Chelsea Quinn 3-for-3, 3 runs scored to spark a 13-hit attack.

Freedom 4, Becahi 2 -- Emily Gundrum shut out the potent Golden Hawks for five innings.

Whitehall 11, Nazareth 1 -- Zephyrs deserve credit for coming on strong in the second half of the season to qualify for posteason. Madison Kelly hit a 2-run HR, Molly Graveno had a pair of doubles and three RBIs and Rachel Spanitz knocked in three.

Northampton 7, Parkland 0 -- I don't know when's the last time Northampton swept Parkland in a season, especially with both wins coming by shutout.

COLONIAL LEAGUE

Palmerton 6, Northern Lehigh 2 -- Blue Bombers get a 4-hitter from Kendra Pekurny and have won eight straight in clinching a league tourney spot.

Saucon Valley 8, Palisades 4 -- Panthers bounce back from brutal loss to Southern Lehigh, but it won't be enough to get them in the league tourney.

Catasauqua 20, Moravian Academy 0 -- The Lions are likely headed for rough times in this sport once they join the league in two years.

MVC

Pleasant Valley 16, PM East 1 -- Bears bounce back from shutout loss to Liberty on Monday.

Stroudsburg 10, ES South 4 -- Mounties score five apiece in the third and fourth.

Lehighton 17, PM West 5 -- Indians score 10 runs in the first.

ES North 11, Pius X 0 -- Timberwolves still need to beat ES South to get into district tourney.
