It was a beautiful night for a ball game and what a game it was!!  We came out strong in the 1st inning, holding NL to no runs and scoring 4 of our own.  NL came back and tied it up in the 2nd.  The final score was 11-9 with a lot of back and forth scoring and good plays on both sides.

It was a good outing for Carly, Megan and Emily on the mound.  Carly had an impressive 3-up 3-down inning and allowed only one run over 2 innings while fielding a grounder to make the out at 1st, a line drive and pop-up caught and a couple of strike-outs.  Megan was throwing hard and came up with a spectacular stretch to catch a pop-up and racked up 4 strike-outs over 2 innings.  Emily was working hard as well with a quick-thinking toss to the catcher to save a runner trying to score from 3rd when a batter bunted.

Other notable plays included Syd starting things off with a good catch at short.  Maddy stopped a grounder at 2nd to make the out at 1st and stopped a hard-hit grounder that made it out to right field.  She followed that up with a wicked throw to the infield to hold the runner at 1st.

Hits by Emily, Zee, Sydney, Kiesha, Stephanie, Erin and Meghan helped contribute to the 9 runs scored.
