Georgetown beat Gloucester 3-1 on April 18, and every Georgetown run came on a solo home run. (bostonglobe.com) Eighth-grader Victoria Barbarick homered in the second inning, then junior Ellie Barbarick and senior Maddie Grant hit back-to-back solo shots in the fifth. (bostonglobe.com) Grant also controlled the game in the circle, striking out 14 batters as Georgetown held Gloucester to one run in the nonleague matchup. (msn.com) The result landed early in the Massachusetts spring schedule, when rosters are still settling and underclassmen are already taking on central roles. MaxPreps listed the game as Georgetown’s home opener and Gloucester’s first recorded loss of the season. (maxpreps.com) Victoria Barbarick’s home run stood out for another reason: she is an eighth-grader contributing varsity power against an opponent from the Northeastern Conference. Ellie Barbarick, a junior, supplied the second family swing before Grant added the third. (bostonglobe.com) Georgetown and Gloucester had already built a recent softball connection before this rematch. A Cape Ann-area roundup last year described Gloucester beating Georgetown 5-3 in a game where Grant reached 400 career strikeouts. (cnhi.com) This time, the same Georgetown senior finished the game on both sides of the ball — with strikeouts in the circle and the last of three solo homers at the plate. (msn.com)
