Now THAT was a ball game!!

Black Ice caught the very strong Canadian Tire team off guard by finishing the first inning with a 1-1 tie.   Our first run was scored by Lesley thanks to a great RBI by Kiesha. 

They scored 4 in the second inning and then we held them at no runs for the next two innings.  At the end of 4 innings the score was 5-2 (with our next run being also being scored by Lesley).  

In the bottom of the 5th they bashed in 4 more runs and it looked like they had sealed our fate because time was almost out. 

Emily laid down a bunt in the top of the 6th then looked like the Road Runner racing around the bases stealing 2nd, then 3rd then home to bump our runs up to 3.  

On defense, nice catches by Sydney, Meghan and Maddy (x2).  Nice going....Lesley hurled the ball to Lily 3rd to catch the runner trying to take an extra base.  And great appearances on the mound by both pitchers.  Kudos to Megan for six strike-outs!

Final score 9 -3 for them, but what a fight we game them!!   Let's play that tough on Saturday and take two wins!!!
