Southern Maine Community College Captures First National Championship
DUBOIS, Pa. (May 15, 2025) … Delanie Perry went 3-for-4 and drove in four runs to compliment the two-hit shutout from Sarah Wilkins as Southern Maine Community College defeated Florida National 10-0 for the 2025 USCAA Small College World Series Softball Championship at Heindl Field on Thursday.
The win for SMCC (32-7) is the first spring national title for the Seawolves and the Yankee Small College Conference.
The Seawolves jumped on the board first with a four-run third as Perry drove in a pair with a two-run single. Emily Hutchins drove in one with a single and Wilkins helped her own cause with an RBI single to take the 4-0 lead in the top of the third.
SMCC scored three more in the fourth with Courtney Frohaug plated two with a single and Perry drove in her with a double to push the lead to 7-0. They pushed three more across in the sixth as Perry singled on a run, Hutchins doubled her in and a run scored on an error as the Seawolves took a 10-0 lead.
The champs rode the arm of Wilkins who went the distance allowing one walk, one strikeout and two hits to take her 16th victory of the season.
Cameron Crear joined Perry in the three-hit club going 3-for-5 with three runs scored, while Hutchins was 2-for-4 with a pair driven in for SMCC.
FNU (27-29) forced the if-necessary game on the arm of Brunella Beteta who threw a five-hit shutout as the Conquistadors won 4-0. Sabrina Castelli and Alissia Vega went 2-for-4 apiece with one run scored for Florida National.
