The Williamsburg softball team has a goal of a state title this summer. The Raiders are 20-3 and top ranked in class 3A. They are coming off a loss over the weekend to class 5A second ranked Ankeny. Senior pitcher Peyton Driscoll is 10-1 and has an earned run average of under one.

Balance on offense has been a key and several young players are a factor. Four sophomores are hitting .300 or better.

Among the victories this season was a 4-3 triumph over a second ranked Davenport Assumption team that has won four state titles in the last six years.

Driscoll would love to close her high school career with a state title.

Driscoll will play at Kirkwood Community College next year. Williamsburg returns to action tonight at Center Point-Urbana.
