Sage Hill School senior Katie McKeon and sophomore Sadie Hoeschen were recently named to the All-Academy League first team for softball.
Lightning sophomore center fielder Nikta Lotfian earned honorable-mention recognition.
McKeon, the only senior for Sage Hill (8-13, 6-5 in league), earned first-team all-league honors for the third straight year. She played shortstop and also pitched as needed for the Lightning. She finished with a .333 batting average, and walked more times (11) than she struck out (10). McKeon also pounded out 23 hits and scored a team-best 24 runs.
Pitching statistics were unavailable but Coach Beckie Gomez, McKeon’s mother, estimated her daughter threw in about 70% of the games for the Lightning.
