SEATTLE – Holy Names blanked Bainbridge 7-0 to claim the Metro League championship in girls fastpitch softball late last week at Lower Woodland Park.

The Cougars jumped to a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the second and then put the game away in the third after HNA senior Claire McCarthy banged a three-run homer.

Holy Names has had the Spartans’ number the whole season.

The Cougars bested Bainbridge 20-9 on the Spartans’ home field on April 23, then beat BHS 11-4 two days later in the regular-season rematch.
