Dan Libon/Patch
King Philip sophomore first baseman Renee Poirier has been named the 2013 HockomockSports.com Softball Underclassman of the Year.
Poirier had a monster year at the plate and also chipped in at the pitching circle.
The sophomore was one of the team's leaders in extra base hits and pitched a 1-hitter in a playoff win for the Warriors. She had a three run-homerun in a big game against Hopkinton.
“She’s been killing the ball all year," KP head coach Norm Beauchemin told Josh Perry after the game against Hopkinton. "She probably has the most extra-base hits for us. She’s a great hitter.”
Honorable Mention: Jordan Wade, Taunton - Jamie Gottwald, Oliver Ames
