The St. Pius X Golden Lions softball team defeated the Chattahoochee Cougars 16-1 at Spellman Field last night. The win was Head Coach Amie McDougal's 136th career win, making her the winningest coach in St. Pius X fastpitch softball history. Legendary coach Mike Scirocco previously held the record with 135 wins. 

All nine batters in the lineup had at least one hit in tonight's game. Merrit Gorman '27 (3-4, 2 R, 1 RBI) and Madeline Kapp '27 (2-2, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 SF) each had multiple hits in the victory. 

Eliza Rocca '30 earned the win by pitching 2 shutout innings of relief with 6 SO and 1 BB. Starting pitcher Norah Mutic '30 struck out 3 in one inning of work.

The Golden Lions will play next on Saturday, September 26 at home vs. the Holy Innocents' Golden Bears. Game time is 1:00 PM.

Before the Varsity takes the field, the Golden Lions Middle School team will play Lakeside at 9:00 AM and the Junior Varsity will play Marist at 10:30 AM.

Saturday's games are part of the annual "Pink Out," honoring two St. Pius X coaches who passed away after battling cancer: Matt McIntyre (Head Softball Coach, 2013-14) and Margaret Gilbert (Assistant Swimming Coach, 2003-09).
