PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
Paige Sacripont, West York: The senior went 15-5 on the hill for the division champs, posting 10 shutouts along the way. She struck out 154 batters in 109 innings, while yielding just seven walks and 14 runs.
She also hit .393 and was on base 50 percent of the time this season. She had nine RBIs and a .970 fielding percentage.
Lauren Shaffer, West York: The second baseman posted a .574 batting average and .600 on-base percentage, but was more known for being an outstanding run producer.
The senior extra-base machine drove in 38 runs, thanks in part to her 11 doubles, five triples and five home runs.
ALL-STARS
Alee Barsella, Littlestown: A terrific shortstop and hitter for the second-place Thunderbolts, the senior scored 24 runs with 23 hits and a .414 average. She also had three triples and a pair of home runs.

Anna Forsythe, Littlestown: A key component in a great turnaround season for the Bolts. The senior battled hitters all season long as a pitcher who helped the team go from 2-15 last season to the 2009 district playoffs.
Sara Gohn, West York: Only a sophomore, the catcher was an outstanding receiver, but could hit, too, as her .516 average, .618 on base percentage, five triples, three home runs and 21 RBIs indicate.
