The Smyrna softball team defeated Appo 16-7 in the DIAA state championship game this afternoon.

It was a busy scene at the Lower Sussed Little League field this afternoon, the sight of the 2018 DIAA softball state champoinship between the Smyrna Eagles and the Appoquinimink Jaguars. Its been 8 years since the last time the Eagles appeared in the state finals.

It was a slugfest from the beginning, with Appo opening up the scoring just two batters into the game. Brooke Miller hits a single into center field scoring Mallory Weir. The Eagles would strike back scoring two runs in the bottom of the first

In the second, Jags get on the board again, this time off of a Madison Baurele single into left field to tie us a two. But Abby Mace gave it all she had, she hit a two run homer into center field to retake the lead 4-2 then next batter up and then Kaelyn Press sent a blooper double into right field sendin
