The Nipmuc girls’ softball team improved to 6‑0 with a 1‑0 victory over Millbury yesterday afternoon, maintaining their place among the state’s elite. The win came courtesy of stout pitching and timely defense, continuing a season that has propelled the Warriors into the top eleven rankings in Massachusetts. Freshman standout Charlotte Leitch has led the way, earning consideration for the Metrowest Daily News Player of the Week after delivering two RBIs and a double in a 15‑0 rout of Whitinsville, then fanning eight batters in a 3‑1 victory over Hopedale. On Friday, Nipmuc travels to Westborough High School to face the Rangers, who enter at 3‑4 after back‑to‑back blowout losses to Shrewsbury (9‑1) and Wachusett (10‑0). Although the Warriors are heavy favorites, Westborough’s lineup could find its rhythm and challenge Nipmuc’s pitching staff. Fans can catch the contest at 4 PM, where the Warriors will look to extend their unbeaten run and showcase their depth throughout the diamond.
