To say this was an action-packed game would be an understatement!
Black Ice was impressive in the top of the 1st with a double play. The first batter walked, then managed to steal around to 3rd. The next batter hit the ball back to the mound. Karley snapped it up and threw it home to stop the runner trying to score. While that was happening, the batter was attempting to advance to 2nd. But Kiesha, with another heads-up play, threw her out at 2nd. Fantastic start to the game!
Another double play....in the 4th inning...Jaden's arm seemed to stretch out an extra few inches to catch a ball that should have made its way past shortstop to the outfield. She quickly fired the ball to Magena at 3rd before the runner could get back and tag up. It was a beauty!!
At the end of the 2nd inning the score was 2-2. From there it was back and forth...with both teams hitting the ball well and running the bases aggressively.
In the end, the Babes punched in more runs than Black Ice to take the game.
We'll get 'em next time, Black Ice!! |
