Revere softball team red-hot with three out of four wins Revere softball had a big week, taking three out of four contests. Revere fell to Everett, 16-7, topped Malden, 18-7, edged Northeast Metro Tech, 11-10, and handled Somerville. Revere had 23 hits against Malden. Lea Doucette drove in fi ve runs on fi ve hits in that win. In the Somerville win, Danni Randall fi red a one-hitter and Shayna Smith and Lea Doucette each belted two home runs apiece. “The girls have been playing well and not getting down when innings aren’t going their way in the games,” Revere coach Megan O’Donnell said. “The girls battled back with Everett but started a little too late.” Revere lost senior center fi elder Isabella Qualtieri to an injury in the Everett game, but her leadership on the bench and positive attitude has been keeping her teammates’ spirits alive, according to the coach. Senior Ally Straccia has stepped into the role and is holding down center fi eld. Senior Luiza Santos keeps the girls and coaches in check with her upbeat and positive attitude. Riley Straccia has been strong in the fi eld and has gotten a hot bat. Junior fi rst baseman Doucette has been a hitting machine at the plate and “has done it with ease in every game,” O’Donnell said. Revere had many players get their fi rst varsity hits last week: Olivia Morris, Lindsey Pineda and Dakota Lanes. Gianna Chiodi took the mound last week and earned her first career save.
