The theme of one day at a time, one game at a time and one practice at a time is paying off for the Konkrete Kids softball team.
Coach Sally Whittaker-Kahan's softball team is off to a 4-0 start following Northampton's 8-0 whitewash of Parkland on Tuesday.
The Kids, who blanked Governor Mifflin Saturday by the same 8-0 score, are 2-0 in the Lehigh Valley Conference with wins over North Division foes Whitehall and the Trojans.
Add a pair of nonleague wins over Pleasant Valley and Mifflin and you have a perfect start behind the pitching of senior star Marly Laubach. Laubach already has 39 strikeouts and has allowed only one run in 28 innings of pitching. She has posted three one-hitters already this season.
The Konkrete Kid hitters are beginning to find the zone as well. They scattered 12 hits against Governor Mifflin and had an eight run seventh inning against Parkland to put the game away.
Junior Bri Dalton highlighted the big seventh inning with a three-run triple with junior Taylor Kerbacher adding an RBI. The big frame was started by a single from pinch hitter Kendel Reed.
Dalton, Kerbacher, junior Leandra Sterner and senior Lauren Brosky were the standout hitters against Mifflin.
In the win over Parkland, coach Whittaker-Kahan said, "It was a good, solid win. The game was scoreless until the seventh. But it's too early to get real excited. We're note even close to the playoffs."
The girls resumed play Wednesday night in a nonleague, makeup game at Northern Lehigh - after Press deadlines. They return to LVC action Thursday at home against Nazareth.
