Braden River's dominance on the softball diamond continues.
The Pirates, powered by the two-pronged pitching attack of Courtney Mirabella and Hannah Loyer, won the Diamondback Division's Gold Championship during this weekend's 11th Annual Doc4Life Varsity Showdown in Ocala.
The Pirates didn't allow a run in four games and capped their run with a 4-0 win over Dunnellon in the championship game.
Mirabella allowed four hits, struck out 13 and didn't issue a walk in the final. She began the tournament by tossing a perfect game against Satellite, striking out 15.
Mirabella also pitched 3-plus innings of perfect relief against Arch Bishop McCarthy, striking out eight.
Loyer was nearly as good, tossing a two-hit shutout and striking out 12 against Vanguard, and striking out nine, walking one and yielding three hits against Arch Bishop.
Offensively, Kenya Yancy homered and scored five runs, Jessica Cadorette homered and Jada Schopfer drove in four runs for the Pirates, who improved to 19-2.
Braden River, which won a regional playoff game for the first time in program history last year, is hoping to take the momentum into the Class 4A-District 10 tournament, which gets underway Monday, April 18.
