— CROWN POINT -- Crown Point went on the offensive Thursday afternoon and when the dust settled, the Panthers had wrapped up their seventh Mountain & Valley Athletic Conference Northern Division softball championship in eight years.
The Panthers (12-4, 10-1) rapped out 22 hits on their way to a 30-1 thrashing of Elizabethtown-Lewis. The win clinched Crown Point's sixth consecutive division title.
Winning pitcher Jordan McGinness helped her cause with three hits and six runs-batted-in. Ashley Zapolski went 3-for-3 with two RBI while Britney Peters was 2-for-3 and Jessica Potter added a three-run double.
McGinness allowed only one hit -- a fourth-inning single to Kristin Jacques -- while striking out seven and walking none over four innings. Jonalee Ross struck out four and didn't walk a batter over the last three innings.
