11-Whereas, at 2024 Division I softball’s decisive contest, played at Castleton, the fifth-
12-seeded Thunderbirds challenged the second-seeded Mt. Anthony Patriots for the sport’s
13-top honor, and the game proved an exciting day on the diamond, and
14-Whereas, although the Patriots were the first on the scoreboard, these opening runs
15-signaled the start of a seesaw battle during which each team enjoyed a lead, but at the end
16-of the seven standard innings, the teams were tied at seven-all, necessitating extra innings
17-to determine the game’s outcome, and
18-Whereas, in the eighth inning, sensing the suspense should be ended quickly, a
19-Thunderbird stole both second and third base, accelerating her scoring of the final run,
20-and securing an 8–7 Missisquoi victory, and
