Bishop Feehan softball marks coach Bill Milot's final playoff run with first trip to Division 1 semifinals
Senior Mylee Ramer struck out 11 in the circle, with senior Caitlyn Deveney and sophomore Olivia Abren each driving in a pair of runs as the fifth-seeded Shamrocks upended No. 4 Attleboro, 7-4, in the Division 1 quarterfinals.
'The final year, it means everything,' said an emotional Milot.
Postgame, he handed Ramer the gameball.
'It really just shows you how much he cares about us,' said Ramer. 'We want to be here, but he loves us so much, it keeps us going.'

'I just had faith that my teammates would pick me up with the bats,' said Ramer, the Catholic Central League MVP.
'We wouldn't be here without Mylee — period,' said Milot. 'The difference between this game and the last game was that our bats lit up.'
On May 26, the Blue Bombardiers (18-5) won, 3-2, in a matchup of schools located a mere 2.4 miles apart. This time, the middle of the order came through for the Shamrocks (19-5). Senior Bella Silva, hitting third, plated Boston University-bound Maddie Coupal in the first inning. Abren's double to left-center scored Gwen Camara and Deveney in the third for a lead the Shamrocks would never relinquish.

Silva scored twice, first on Deveney's two-run single to right field in the fifth inning and again on an error in the sixth.
On a sun-drenched day, Feehan's bats and a gritty performance from Ramer supplied Milot with something he's worked for during his 11 years at the helm: hardware.
