Last year, this Mother’s Day feature became one of our most shared and talked-about reads and with the SportzWire family nearly doubling in size since then, we had to bring it back. From the team moms and sideline super-fans to the carpool queens and concession stand legends, this one’s for every sports mom who makes the memories happen. Happy Mother’s Day to the real MVPs, there’s a good chance you’ll see someone you know in this article.

Senior night energy and a first-inning offensive explosion made for a pretty memorable Friday evening at North Pocono. Before the crowd could even settle in, the Lady Trojans were already piling up runs on the way to a dominant 13-1 win over Delaware Valley.

Every time Hannah Chipego steps into the circle lately, history seems to follow. Friday night added another chapter, as the Lake-Lehman ace piled up strikeouts, added another dominant outing to her résumé, and reached a career milestone that only a few ever touch. With major matchups against Athens and Dallas looming next week, the Black Knights looked more than ready.

For six innings, Crestwood looked ready to leave PNC Field with a statement win. Then Dallas flipped the entire game upside down in one explosive inning, capped by a grand slam that sent the Mountaineers dugout into a frenzy.
