Girls' Softball The Millbrook girls blanked Webutuck 6-0 Thursday behind another stellar pitching performance by star, Megan Revay, improving their record to 8-4. Revay has been pitching in most of Millbrook's games so far this season, pairing with catcher, Becky Baldwin to shut down opponents. Thursday was Senior Day for the softball team. Revay struck out 13 batters, not allowing a run. Millbrook has also qualified to play in the Mid-Hudson Athletic League tournament (MHAL). Coach Jillian Montross said the "girls are doing a great job and are looking forward to the tournament." Montross and the girls are still waiting to hear back on whether they have made sectionals this season but their record gives them a good shot. Boys' Baseball Millbrook defeated Webutuck 4-2 Thursday, behind a solid pitching performance by Ryan Storey. Storey pitched a complete game, only surrendering 2 runs on 3 hits. Storey also hit a double in the game. Millbrook scored early and didn't surrender their lead the whole game.
