Their postseason lasted just three games, but the Town of Wallkill’s senior girls Little League team fought hard during its final loss to Monroe-Woodbury during the District 19 championship game in Montgomery Friday.

Wallkill trailed 3-0 after the first inning before tying it in the fifth with Felica Torres’ RBI-triple, but Gianna Dellerose delivered an RBI-double and Brooke Hughes singled home a run in the seventh to break the tie and win the senior championship 5-3 for Monroe.

“I was just focused on hitting the ball and getting team back up,” said Torres, after the game.

Wallkill started their comeback with Kelsey Sparta’s RBI-double in the fourth. Two batters later, Alexis Vega hit a sacrifice fly to make it 3-2 before Torres came up in the fifth to deliver her big hit and tie it 3-3.

Wallkill started the week Tuesday, July 3, losing to Monroe 10-4. Two days later, they traveled to the Town of Newburgh and trounced New Windsor 18-7 in six innings under the mercy rule to set up their championship meeting with Monroe.
