BERWICK &#8212; Whether the ball was in her hand or coming off the bat, Pittston Area&#8217;s Nina Cencetti had complete control of it. And her team benefited.Pittston Area needed just six innings to knock off Elk County, 14-2, in the opening round of the Pennsylvania Senior Softball Championships at Ber-Vaughn Park in Berwick.Cencetti had a perfect game through three innings. She finished the complete game by allowing just three hits and striking out eight. With the bat, Cencetti finished 4-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored.In her last two games, Cencetti has thrown 13 innings, allowed only eight hits and surrendered just two runs. Her most previous shutout was against Old Forge in the Section 5 championships.&#8220;This was a lot of fun today,&#8221; Cencetti said. &#8220;The speed was just the way I like it. Once I saw the first strike, I knew it was going to be a good day.&#8221;Pittston Area&#8217;s next game will be at 4 p.m. Friday back in Berwick against the Bristol Borough/Wellsboro winner. Wellsboro got a bye in the tournament, while Bristol defeated Pocono Mountain East, 12-0, on Wednesday morning.The championship will be held at 11 a.m. on Sunday.Pittston Area pounded out 14 hits against Elk County. Mindina Lieback, Alexa McHugh, Abbey Bradigan and Jordan Cegelka each had two hits. McHugh and Bradigan each finished with two RBI.It was somewhat of a slow start for Pittston Area. The team left four runners stranded in the first two innings, not capitalizing on their opportunities. But things began to open up in the fourth.&#8220;We wanted to keep the pressure on them and we told the kids eventually the hits would fall,&#8221; Pittston Area coach Vito Quaglia said. &#8220;I knew eventually our bats would warm up and they did. Everyone contributed and we were on today.&#8221;With a 3-0 lead thanks to a Cencetti single and a Kerry Shamnoski hit, Pittston Area scored four more runs in the fourth inning. Cegelka led off the inning with a double to left followed by a single from Lieback. McHugh then brought home Cegelka before another Cencetti single brought home Taylor Baloga.&#8220;We have to make sure we get quality at-bats and quality outs,&#8221; Quaglia said. &#8220;If you get out that&#8217;s fine, but we had some bad swings today so we&#8217;ll work on that.&#8221;Pittston Area&#8217;s biggest blow came in the sixth when the team sent 11 batters to the plate. Bradigan had a two-run single, Rachel Kochanowski had a run-scoring walk and Dominique Quaglia drove in a run with a sacrifice bunt. Thanks to two Elk County errors, Pittston Area score seven runs.&#8220;You don&#8217;t want to be in that situation,&#8221; Quaglia said when asked about the insurance runs. &#8220;You don&#8217;t want to worry about an error or anything like that to make the game close. It&#8217;s nice to have some cushion.&#8221;Cencetti didn&#8217;t allow a baserunner in the first three innings before giving up three hits and two runs in the fourth. She had just one runner reach in the fifth and sixth.&#8220;I was trying to get ahead in the count and let me defense work,&#8221; Cencetti said. &#8220;One inning they strung some hits together.&#8221;Pittston Area 14, Elk County 2Pittston Area`AB`R`H`BILieback c `3`2`2`1McHugh ss `3`3`2`2Baloga 1b `1`1`0`0Kochanowski 1b `1`1`0`1Bradigan 3b `5`0`2`2Cencetti p `5`2`4`2Shamnoski lf `3`0`1`1LGronka lf `0`1`0`0Gardner cf `4`1`0`0Quaglia 2b `3`1`1`1Cegelka rf `2`1`2`0HGronka rf `1`1`0`0Totals `36`14`14`10Elk County`AB`R`H`BIQuiggle c `3`1`1`0Johnson cf `2`0`0`0Kocjanck 3b `3`1`1`0Sherry p `3`0`1`2Park ss `2`0`0`0KDowdall 2b `2`0`0`0Kasmierski rf `1`0`0`0Sabatose rf `1`0`1`0ADowdall lf `1`0`0`0Williams lf `1`0`0`0Uhl 1b `1`0`0`0Swanson 1b `1`0`0`0Totals `19`2`4`2Pittston Area` `111`407`&#8212;`14 Elk County` `000`400`&#8212;`22B &#8212; Cegelka, McHugh, Sherry; 3B &#8212; CencettiPittston Area`IP`H`R`ER`BB`SOCencetti`6.0`4`2`2`1`8Elk County`IP`H`R`ER`BB`SOSherry`3+`9`6`6`5`2Park`3.0`4`8`4`4`2<style>
