Audubon High School sophomore Addison Leahan is making a significant impact on the softball team's pitching staff. Recently, she recorded 14 consecutive scoreless innings, amassing 22 strikeouts. Her exceptional play was highlighted in a 1-0 victory against Delran, where she pitched a four-hitter.

The team's pitching staff is deep, featuring experienced seniors like Alaina Copsetta, Kylie Cannaday, and Sophia Tessitore. Despite the competition for innings, Leahan is proving her value with a season ERA of 3.50.

Her ability to change speeds effectively has made her a more formidable opponent, according to Coach Small. The team, currently 12-8, has won five of its last six games.
