The battle between Nantucket and Cohasset for the Division III South softball title came down to the final inning Sunday in Taunton.
After six innings of exceptional pitching and solid defense on both sides, the Skippers caught the only break of the game, scoring the only run on a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh for the 1-0 victory and a trip to state semifinals.
With the loss, the Whalers closed out one of the most successful seasons in school sports history at 19-5 overall. The Skippers (20-3), making their first appearance in the state semifinals, were scheduled to face Division III North champion St. Mary’s yesterday in Taunton, too late for this edition of Sports.
It was a heartbreaking way to end the year for the talented Whalers team, which graduated eight seniors Saturday.
