FROM KEITH GROLLER


It seems to happen every Thursday.
I compile a Top 10 poll in the afternoon for the next day's paper and a bunch of games are played at 4 o'clock that make the poll almost obsolete before it even hits print.
Such was the case in local softball on Thursday when Catasauqua, Pen Argyl and Liberty were among the highly ranked teams to tumble.
Here's a look at the results:
LEHIGH VALLEY CONFERENCE
NORTHAMPTON 2 , ALLEN 0--  Jillian Muthard pitched a three-hitter.

FREEDOM 10, WHITEHALL 8 --  Hunter Schantz 3-3 2 HRs, 8 RBIs.
EMMAUS 15, LIBERTY 8 -- Green Hornets win slugfest, gain revenge for earlier loss.  Alyssa Krasnansky 3-4, 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBIs; Miryah Palko 2-4, HR, 2 RBIs; Claire Harris 4-5, 2B, HR, 3 RBIs.  Mariah Kondravy 1-3, HR, 3 RBIs; Ashley Malek 2-4, 2 RBIs.
