An epic battle between Attleboro and Central Catholic will be a two-day affair.
After 10 innings, the Div. 1 state semifinal at UMass Dartmouth was called due to darkness with the score 4-4.
Attleboro got off to a 4-0 lead after a two-run first inning, a one-run second inning and a solo home run from Lola Ronayne. Central Catholic started its comeback in the fourth inning when Gabby DelGaizo singled in a run and added another run in the sixth after a throwing error. This set the table for Chloe Salerno, who smashed a two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh to keep the season going.
Salerno threw all 10 innings for Central Catholic, allowing just four hits and one earned run while striking out 12. Attleboro’s Jen Callahan also went 10 innings, allowing seven hits, three earned runs and striking out 11.
The game will be made up on Wednesday at 1 p.m. in Dartmouth.
