PHOTOS: Jackie Flint Leads Medfield Softball to Victory over D-S

Freshman's effort on the mound and at the plate sparks 13-2 victory Wednesday.

Medfield softball coach Travis Taliaferro said freshman Jackie Flint had a "monter game" in the Warriors' 13-2 victory over rival Dover-Sherborn Wednesday. He wasn't exageratting. Flint went 4-for-4 with two RBI at the plate and picked up her first career victory on the mound, limiting D-S hitters to just two runs while striking out seven. "I was really proud of Jackie's performance because D-S put runners on in every inning, and played aggressively until the end," Taliaferro. Medfield was fueled by a six-run first inning, keyed by a bases-clearing triple by Lucy Allen enroute to a four RBI day and reaching base four times. Jessi O'Loughlin scored two runs. The win has Medfield 2-0 in the Tri-Valley League and 2-2 overall. "Overall, we …
