Stamatiades went to a pitching coach during the summer to work on her control, and she brought the fruits of her labor to Cunningham Park Monday, allowing a pair of infield hits en route to a 3-1 win over Bryant in a battle for first place in Queens A.
The senior hurler, a four-year starter for the Owls, walked four in the first three innings but then settled down to strike out 10 as she carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning.
“She came up big today,” said Bryant coach Wally Hausdorf. “Other than Madison, this was her biggest test so far, and she stepped up to the challenge.”
Franklin K. Lane’s Jamie Bellettini wasn’t too shabby in a pair of wins, striking out 35 in 14 innings — including 20 in a 6-5 win over Grover Cleveland Monday … Jaspreet Kaur struck out 10 and had three RBIs for the Richmond Hill softball team in a 13-1 win over Jamaica … Molloy pitcher James Lally struck out six and gave up just two unearned runs in the top of the sixth to pick up a win in the Stanners’ 7-2 victory over St. Francis Prep … Cardozo’s Danny Rosenbluth tossed a two-hitter, striking out 13 in a 3-1 win over Edison … David Robles struck out 10 in a five-inning no-hitter for Queens Vocational in a 10-0 win over Hillcrest … Stacy Giannoukakis netted a hat trick, including the golden goal game-winner two minutes into overtime for the Bryant girls’ soccer team in a 4-3 win over Newtown … Townsend Harris forward Kathy Dubowski scored seven goals in a pair of shutout wins … Forest Hills midfielder Kamila Barnes scored four goals in two games, including a hat trick in a 6-3 win over Robert F. Wagner.
