Girls High posted an impressive turnaround in a Public League quarterfinal softball playoff on Friday, handing host Northeast its first loss of the season, 22-6, in a five-inning game.

Brianne Lineman had a double and a triple to pace a 16-hit attack to avenge a 10-run loss to Northeast during the regular season.

The Vikings (14-1) had won 13 of their 15 games by at least 10 runs.

The win advanced Girls High (11-3) into the league semifinal on Tuesday against Science Leadership Academy at La Salle University (1 p.m.). The other semifinal will be the second game of that doubleheader at the same site, featuring Masterman and Franklin Towne Charter (3 p.m.).

Catholic. Host St. Hubert strung together four consecutive hits in a seven-run second inning on the way to a 10-0 league quarterfinal playoff win over Archbishop Wood.

The entire lineup for the Bambies (15-5) was productive, as Melissa Robinson and Erica Ragazzone had back-to-back doubles in the middle of the seven-run inning and Samantha Coyle, the No. 6 hitter, had a run-scoring single. Coyle finished 3 for 3.

Pitcher Robinson took care of the rest of the game, tossing a three-hit shutout.

In other quarterfinal games:

Mary Cate Scott pitched a four-hitter for host Lansdale Catholic in its 4-1 win over Little Flower. The Crusaders (14-4-1) also got a 2-for-4 day at the plate from Melissa Chapman. Scott pitched all seven innings, striking out six and walking two.

The Crusaders earned a spot in the league semifinals on Monday afternoon against Conwell-Egan at Arcadia University.

Conwell-Egan earned its spot in the semifinals by traveling to Norristown to beat host Kennedy-Kenrick, 3-1. Jade McGee's two-run single in the sixth inning proved to be the difference in the game. Stacie DeNucci pitched all seven innings for the Eagles.

Sarah Chilutti pitched a four-hit shutout and host Archbishop Ryan's Julia Sides scored on Alyssa Gospodarek's single in the bottom of the seventh to beat Archbishop Prendergast, 1-0. Sides was 3 for 3 and Chilutti had seven strikeouts.

Inter-Ac. Agnes Irwin rallied for six runs in the seventh to beat host Springside, 9-3. Eighth grader Katie Wenger paced a nine-hit attack by going 3 for 4.

Nonleague. Amy Schnecker's two-out single scored Jenna Klawiter with the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh for host Central Bucks West in an 8-7 win over Wissahickon. The Bucks (6-14) got a game-tying home run from Kathy Zanolini in the bottom of the seventh inning.
