It was an extra-inning thriller in South Deerfield on Thursday between the Frontier and Greenfield softball teams. 

The Green Wave held a 5-4 lead going into the bottom of the seventh, but Delaney Fifield ripped a double to score Skyler Steele to tie the game and force extras. 

Neither team scored in the eighth and after Raine Wonsey kept Greenfield off the board in the top of the ninth, Frontier took advantage. 

Fifield opened the inning by putting the ball in play and making it to second on an error. Olivia Machon came to the plate and cracked a hit into the left-center gap, scoring Fifield to lift Frontier to a 6-5 extra-inning victory. 

The hit completed a big comeback for the Redhawks, which trailed 5-0 going into the bottom of the sixth when Steele and Fifield hit back-to-back home runs before Sophia Pinardi drove in a run with a base hit to help Frontier cut into the lead. 

Ashley Taylor added a hit while Wonsey struck out seven in nine innings work in the circle. 

MacKenzie Paulin went the distance in the circle for the Wave, striking out 14 while adding a single, a double and an RBI at the plate. Gloria McDonald singled, homered and drove in two, Bianca Reynolds hit a home run and knocked in a pair of runs, Anna Bucala, Olivia Lemay and Sarah McCloud each recorded two hits while Meghan Collins and Grace Laurie both hit safely for Greenfield. 

Franklin Tech 4, Mohawk Trail 0 — Hannah Gilbert is on fire in the circle for the Eagles. 

The senior allowed just one hit — which came in the eighth inning — on April 25 against Northampton, threw a five-inning no hitter against Athol on Tuesday and on Thursday, Gilbert threw her second straight no-hitter by striking out 14 to lead Tech to a Franklin County League East victory in Turners. 

Gilbert added an RBI double in the third and followed it up with a two-run blast in the fifth to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead. Shelby O’Leary drove in a run in the sixth to add to the Tech lead. Sandra Johnson knocked three hits, Lindsey Taylor doubled and tripled while Cordelia Guerin added a base hit in the win for Franklin Tech. 

Grace Stevens struck out three while Abby Moffatt and Emmalee Inman made a number of big plays in the field for Mohawk Trail.
