On Thursday May 9th 2024 we offically dedicated the Verdi Family Press Box at the Marjorie Falk Memorial Softball Field.  The dedication was in honor of Jim and Inessa Verdi's generous gift in 2018, to help fund the building of the Mercy softball press box.  The dedication coincides with their daughter Ava, playing her  senior year on this year's Varsity softball team.  The Mercy Softball Community  expresses our sincere gratitude to the Verdi Family and we our proud of the incredible softball complex we have built through the years.

On Monday May 20th Mercy opens its sectional run vs Eastridge at Eastridge 5pm.  

With the help of the Sisters of Mercy Mainentaince Staff we were able to install the new backstop padding that was ordered in the late Fall.  I can't thank them enough for their help with our newest field enhancement.  Maintaining the field seems like a full time job, and we are consently looking to improve it each and every year.

In November approximately $2,500.00 worth of new strength training equipment was delivered to the Mercy Fitness Center.  The new equipment included:

• Additional Dumbbell Set and Rack - 5lbs. to 50lbs.
• New Lat Pulldown Machine
• 300lbs. of additional free weights
• New free weight tree
• New Accessory Rack

The new equipment and the reorganization of the fitness center will make it more efficient for the softball program to continue to lead the way in strength training and off field development at Mercy.

It's been a very busy summer renovating the Mercy Softball Field.  Last week, we just completed the following renovations:

1. Rebuilt the warming track and added new track mix
2. Aerated and seeded the outfield
3. Rebuilt and leveled the infield, adding new clay and 35 ton of new infield mix.
4. Reedged the baselines and lip between the infield and outfield.

The work completed continues our mission of having one of the finest softball complexes in Monroe County and beyond

Mercy defeated Pittsford Mendon 7-0 to win the 2018 Section V Class A1 Championship for the second year in a row.  Riley Maher was named Section V Class A1 MVP along with Section V All Tournament team of Colleen Fox, Lauren Gulick, Danielle Salina and Kate Vara.  

Mercy put on a tremendous display of hitting and defeated Pittsford Mendon 19-9 to take the Class A1 Sectional Championship.  Congratulations to the Mercy players and the entire Mercy Softball Community for such a great win.  

Congratulations to Senior Ellie Schlehr for being named Sectional Tournament MVP.  Other Mercy players named to the all tournament team:  Senior Olivia Ortega, Junior Nicole Bell, Junior Danielle Salina, and Sophomore Kate Vara.
