Benedict Leads Union High Softball in Playoff Run
Olivia Benedict drove in three RBIs and hit a walk off homer to beat Purchase Line 12 0 in the first round of the PIAA Class 1A playoffs, then added three RBIs in an 8 0 quarterfinal win over DuBois Central Catholic. The junior, named Lawrence County Athlete of the Week, anchors Union at first base and credits team momentum and a superstition with Subway sandwiches for their playoff surge.
