Groton — Hailey Merrill pitched a one-hit shutout Saturday as the Fitch High School softball team defeated Westerly 2-0. Then Merrill came back with a three-hit shutout in a 3-0 victory over Old Lyme to a complete a doubleheader sweep for the Falcons.

“She has come in this year and taken the ace spot by storm,” Fitch coach Jackie Lewis said of Merrill, a junior, who replaced Charlotte Cabral as the Falcons’ go-to pitcher this season.

“Hailey is a gamer. She’s not fazed by adversity. She came in this year ready to work and do whatever it takes to win. She has grown so much since freshman year and continues to prove herself every day.”

Against Westerly, Gabby Amaral and Marcella Rentas each went 2-for-3 and Amaral and Zoe Cosmopoulos had RBI for the Falcons, while Merrill struck out five.

Grace Cosmopoulos was 2-for-3 with three RBI against Old Lyme, with Merrill striking out nine and the Falcons (6-6) getting what Lewis called a “great defensive performance” from third baseman Maerin Lyon.

Old Lyme is 10-3.
