As their team prepares to begin the softball playoffs as the top team in the region, Catoctin star softball pitcher Taylor Smith and catcher Meghan Gray are this week's guests on The Final Score podcast.

Smith and Gray chat with host Greg Swatek about what makes them such an effective combination. They discuss their backgrounds in the sport, what makes Catoctin such a strong softball program year after year and what winning a state title would mean to them.

How much guts are required to catch a power pitcher like Taylor? What makes Meghan such an effective hitter? Those questions and more are answered.

Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writers Alexander Dacy and John Cannon join Greg to discuss the recently played Central Maryland Conference championship games for baseball and softball and the regional playoffs in a variety of spring sports.
