All the ingredients were there Monday for the Berlin Brothersvalley softball team as it played District 7 runner-up Carmichaels for the second year in a row to open the PIAA Class 1A playoffs.<\/p>\n
Junior right-hander Elena Ritchey was stellar in the circle with 12 strikeouts in a two-hit shutout. Error-free defense behind Ritchey made it tough for Carmichaels to score. The Mountaineers were resourceful in scoring as sophomore Bena Barna\u2019s bunt led to a second-inning run and freshman Callie Ritchey drove in her older sister, Elena, with an RBI single in the sixth.<\/p>\n
