RAMSEY—The Park Ridge Fighting Owls continued their impressive 2025 season by capturing the 3rd/4th grade division title at the Ramsey Rumble, a 14-team girls softball tournament held Sunday, July 13, at Finch Field.
The Owls entered elimination day as the No. 4 seed following a win and a tie on ranking day.
In their first game Sunday, the Owls blanked the Emerson Cavos, 7–0, behind a six-inning, two-hit gem from pitchers Emily Briscoe and Liana Spadaccini.
Next, the Owls took down the top-seeded Ridgewood Raiders. Briscoe was again dominant, with Sadie Aday stepping up to pitch two clutch innings when it mattered most.
In the championship game, the Owls powered past the Fair Lawn Cutters with an offensive surge from top to bottom. Briscoe allowed her first run of the tournament—but Park Ridge pulled away to win by 10 runs. Every Owl reached base at least once.
The story of the tournament was the Owls’ relentless offense.
The championship roster: Carly Berube, Sydney Lugo, Emily Briscoe, Aria Reilly, Liana Spadaccini, Hailey Gammarati, Sadie Aday, Lila Waters, Olivia Ribando, Lily Casella, Vivienne Olori, Ellie O’Connell, and Melanie Briscoe.
Coaches are Curt Briscoe, Jennifer Briscoe, Ralph Lugo, Mike Gammarati, Greg Waters, Tim O’Connell, and Maria Spadaccini.
The Owls over the weekend of June 27–29 won the 10U division of the Wyckoff Girls of Summer Tournament. They battled a competitive field to earn the top spot, showcasing strong teamwork, solid defense, and timely hitting throughout the weekend.
The Owls tell Pascack Press they want this summer to never end.
