Millis Softball Program Soars to New Heights by Reaching State Final By Timothy Davis AMHERST— Millis softball coach RJ Maturo has been dedicated to the sport of softball for 21 years. After a 17-year stint at Milton High School, Millis Athletics Director Charles Grant brought Maturo in to coach the Mohawks for the start of the 2011 season. Four years later, Maturo has put Millis on the softball map, as the Mohawks reached the Division 3 state final game in Amherst on June 20. While the Mohawks were narrowly defeated by reigning softball champion Turners Falls, 5-3, as the Indians have won seven state titles over their storied history, Grant summed up the experience by telling the softball team after the game that the girls, “came out of nowhere.” “Chuck Grant is a great AD,” said Maturo after the Mohawks upset Amesbury in the state semifinals in Taunton on Wednesday June 17. “He stands behind
his coaches, and that’s what you want as a coach— what we went through to get here (championship game) you wouldn’t believe we are here.” Millis was a lot closer to upsetting Turners Falls than most thought was possible, as the Mohawks held a 2-0 lead going into the fifth inning, and then had the winning run at the plate in the seventh inning with two outs and runners on first and third. The Mohawks trailed 5-2 heading into the final inning, when Emily Malewicz reached on an error. Kelly Guindon followed with a single, and senior captain Colby Zitoli singled home Malewicz to close the gap to 5-3. After a strikeout, Emma LaCroix came up and laced a rocket to right field that was stabbed by the Turner Falls outfielder to end the game.
