Senior player Emma Cassinello helped lead an offense that scored in double digits numerous times. Cassinello, who mostly served as the team’s designated hitter, and junior teammate Riley Straccia, who manned the shortstop position, were named to this year’s Greater Boston League all-star squad. Cassinello displayed power by socking plenty of extra-base hits during the season and driving in her share of runs. Straccia was a strong performer in the fi eld and contributed to the off ense as well.
