Chaminade softball team become surprise team in Mission League
Perhaps the Chaminade softball team should no longer be considered a surprise with its 7-0 start overall and 1-0 mark in the Mission League.
Its 7-6 win over defending Mission League champion Sherman Oaks Notre Dame on Thursday included a five-run seventh inning that should get everyone’s attention. Notre Dame went 8-0 in league play last season. Casey Glantz hit a two-run home run.
Chaminade featured sophomore pitcher Finley Suppan, the daughter of former major leaguer Jeff Supan. She is 6-0 with a 1.15 ERA. She scored a strikeout to end the match. The Eagles are thriving under coach Cory Skinner.
