The U14 Somerville Storm are on a roll with their recent victory over Medford.

The U14 Somerville Storm sit at 5-3 half way through the MiddleEssex softball season after defeating Medford Madness 10-4 at Memorial Field in Medford last week.

The U14 Storm, after finishing with a record of 10-4 last season, made the jump from the B to the A division in U14. Having lost six girls from last year’s roster, the emergence of outstanding first year players for the U14 have helped the team make the step up in competition.

Led by veterans Amolee Hawkins, pitcher (5-1, 82K), Jen Toner (.500, 6 runs), Kayla O’Regan (.250, 3runs), and Emily Woodman (.333, 3 runs) the Storm sit at 7th place in the 25 team field.

First year players Kaleigh Conte, Gabby Vieira, Anjelica Bullen, Joy Jarmigan, and Kayla Linehan have added depth to a young team that includes returning players with another year remaining in U14:  Emily O’Regan, Marissa Toner, and Emily Liberto.

The Storm began the year with a 7-5 win in Beverly, and then split games with Wellesley (9-13 L, 2-1 W). After defeating the Medford Madness 4-3, the Storm lost a tough game to Methuen 6-15. The Storm bounced back behind a combined pitching effort of starter Jen Toner, reliever Sarah Currey and closer Amolee Hawkins as they defeated the Newton Panthers Blue 12-10 before losing a 10-5 game to division leading Newton Panthers Blue.

This week the Somerville Storm were proud to name Kayla O’Regan, Sarah Currey and Emily Liberato as representatives for MiddleEssex  U14A All-Star game to be held in Bedford on August 4 at 6 p.m.

You can catch the U14 Storm in action this week at Trum field on Wednesday, August 1, at 6:15 p.m. in a rematch against the first place Newton Panthers Orange.
