Center Moriches star softball player Emma Powell didn't just win the home run title for Suffolk County, she put an exclamation point on her crown with a late surge in home runs to leave no doubt.

Powell finished the year at the top of the county in home runs finishing with eight total long balls. Powell was in a tough race most of the year with pressure coming from second place finisher Kayleigh Collins from Hauppauge, who finished with six blasts while Bellport's Bridget Barry and Riverhead's Kaysee Mojo finished with five dingers.

The College of Staten Island committed standout ended the season the way you'd expect a champion to end. Powell hit four home runs in her last two games, including three home runs and thirteen RBI against Southampton. She is also a star on the mound. As a dual threat she added seven wins to her eight bombs to solidify her name among the best players of the year on Long Island.
