The sentence that requires semicolons instead of commas is:

The captains of the high-school softball team are pitcher, Marisa Martino, outfielder, Rachel Morrison, and catcher, Lisa Fiore.

This sentence contains lists within a list (captain roles paired with names) and would benefit from semicolons for clarity. It should be revised to:

The captains of the high-school softball team are pitcher: Marisa Martino; outfielder: Rachel Morrison; and catcher: Lisa Fiore.
