Player of the Week: Cate Larson, Taunton Softball

By HockomockSports.com Staff

Taunton senior Cate Larson has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for June 10 through June 16. Larson is the 39th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year and 12th in the spring season.

Larson came through both at the plate and in the circle to lead Taunton to a win against Wachusett in the Div. 1 state title game at Worcester State’s Rockwood Field. The Georgetown University-commit struck out eight batters, including five of the game’s final seven outs, hit a homer, and drove in four runs in the final to lead the Tigers to a fifth straight championship.

“She’s done remarkable things,” said Taunton head coach Michelle Raposo. “As we know, she’s been behind another pitcher and she came this year and I said, ‘the mound is yours, you’re going to have it all season long,’ and she worked really hard all year. Stay humble, work hard, and show that you’re one of the best pitchers in the state.”

Larson capped off a dominant season with three strong pitching performances over the final three rounds of the tournament. She allowed just two hits (one in the first and one in the seventh) and struck out 11 to shut out Bridgewater-Raynham in the quarterfinal. In the Final Four against Bishop Feehan (the last team to beat Taunton in the state tournament – in 2019), Larson allowed just three hits and struck out another 11 batters to keep the Tigers in the game. After Ashlyn Hebert doubled to drive in the go-ahead in the sixth, Larson closed out the win to send Taunton back to the final.

In the state title game, Wachusett got off to a good start at the plate and led 2-0 and 4-2, thanks in part to a couple of unearned runs. Larson settled into her start and seemed to get stronger over the final few innings, recording five of her eight strikeouts in the final three innings. She also starred at the plate, ripping a solo homer inside the foul pole in left to tie the game at 2-2. Larson drove in the go-ahead run with a groundout in the fifth and added a dagger, two-run double to center to cap off a five-run inning that broke the game open. Larson closed out the final with her eighth strikeout of the night.
