NAPLES – Junior Laura Getchell tossed her 500th career strikeout as Gray-New Gloucester coasted to a 5-2 victory over Lake Region in WMC softball action Friday.

Getchell enetered the game with 499 career strikeouts and threw for 16 over seven innings. Getchell also singled in two of the fifth inning’s three runs to cement the win.

Morgan Wilson led off the fifth with a walk for the Patriots (10-3). Natalie Tombarelli followed with a bunt hit, and Taylor Damon’s attempted sacrifice bunt induced a throwing error by the Lakers and scored a run. Two batters later, Getchell singled in two runs.

Laura D’Ascanu recorded a pair of singles for Lake Region, and scored both runs in the losing effort.
