Stacey Butts and Andrea Solberg drove in three runs each as the Greenfield softball team defeated South Milwaukee, 6-1, in a regional final at Konkel Park on May 28.
Butts, the 2008 NOW All-Suburban Player of the Year, had an RBI single in the Hustlin' Hawks' three-run first inning and a two-run triple in the third. Solberg belted a two-run double in the first and a booming solo home run in the fifth.
The fast start was all Greenfield pitcher Shannon Butts needed. She struck out eight batters, allowed seven hits and walked none. The lone run she gave up came on Deanna Gilane's RBI single in the top of the third inning that trimmed the Hawks' lead to 3-1.
The second-seeded Hawks improved to 19-6 and advanced to play sixth-seeded Waterford in a sectional semifinal at 1 p.m. Thursday, June 4, at Konkel. The sectional final is 3 p.m. that day, also at Konkel.
Top-seeded Muskego and fifth-seeded Pius XI will play in the other semifinal.
South Milwaukee finished 8-12.
