SOFTBALL: No. 1 Coginchaug, No. 2 H-K will meet in Shoreline final

It'll be Coginchaug and H-K in this year's Shoreline title game. Here are all the details:


SEMIFINALS:

• Coginchaug def. Morgan, 8-1 ... L. Esposito: CG, 9 Ks; 2 hits, R
• H-K def. Old Saybrook, 10-2 ... S. Waskowitz: HR, 3B (2), 4 RBIs, 3 R

CHAMPIONSHIP GLANCE

• Sunday, 2 p.m. at Westbrook High School (all-conference honors at 1:30)
• This year's Shoreline title game will be a battle of the bats, folks. Coginchaug is averaging 8.5 runs/game in the tournament, and H-K is averaging 12.
• Look for Ashley Cook to start on the mound for H-K. Could be Mari Handley or Lauren Esposito (who spun a gem in the semis) for the Blue Devils.
• A couple of super juniors could play a deciding role in who wins this one. H-K's Sam Waskowitz has homered in the last two games (she also had two triples against Old Saybrook) and Coginchaug's Kayla Votto has a penchant for big hits (she had two extra-base RBI knocks against Morgan).
• Coginchaug beat H-K twice in the regular season: 3-2 on April 20 in Durham; 4-1 in Higganum on May 14.
