NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- The Pat Torchia Women's Softball League playoffs concluded Tuesday evening when Whitman's Crystal Clean defeated VFW 996, 5-0, and earned the trophy for the summer 2015 season with a 2-0 sweep in the championship series.

 

In the bottom of the sixth, with the score at 1-0, VFW had a chance to turn the game around.

 

With one out and bases loaded, VFW needed to bring in some runs, but fortunately for the winning team it was able to strike one out and catch a pop fly for the third out and keep the lead 1-0.

 

Going into the top of the seventh, VFW was looking to hold Whitman's Crystal Clean to one run, but the bats came alive and they were able to hit home four runs and go ahead 5-0.

 

Whitman's went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning to secure the win.

 

Whitman's first run didn't come until the fourth inning after some confusion in the third inning where they appeared to score twice; three outs were made prior to the two runs, but both teams were unaware until Whitman's scorekeeper realized the mistake.

 

The runs were taken away and the score remained at 0-0.

 

Whitman's Crystal Clean went undefeated in the tournament; making its way through the winners bracket. VFW lost one game; and won its way through the loser's bracket to the championship.
