Another exciting game!  The Blue Jays were definitely there to play ball.   It was a nail-biter!!  Thank goodness for L'Oreal...otherwise the coaches would be showing a few new grey hairs today!!

The Black Ice line-up had players in some different positions.....Karley and Magena both caught an inning....Carly J. had her season debut on the mound.   Maddy played an inning at 3rd.  Well done, girls....rising to the challenge and doing very well at it!

In the 1st inning the Blue Jays were aggressive at the plate and on the bases...more so than the Black Ice.  The score at the end of the 1st was 2-0 for the Jays.   By the end of the 2nd the score was tied 3-3 and remained there at the end of the 3rd.   At the end of the 4th the score was tied 4-4.  YIKES!!

Karley stepped back on the mound in the top of the 5th and stopped the Jays from scoring more runs.  The real excitement started in the bottom of the 5th with Jaden C. getting on base with a walk, stealing around to 3rd and then stealing home, giving Black Ice the lead.   Great slide into home JayJay!!  Then Brittany had her first hit of the season.  Way to go Britt!!  And what a hit it was.....blasting out of the infield.   The cheering from players and fans could be heard for miles!!

Who knew we could get to a 6th inning.....??  The excitement continued in the top of the 6th with Karley back on the mound.  First batter was a K.  Second batter hit a hard grounder to Jayden P. at 3rd.  JayLo scooped it up and burned it to 1st for the out.   Great execution, JayLo.  Karley took care of the 4th batter by snagging a ball hit back to the mound and making the out at 1st.  And the final out....another K.  WOW!!

Black Ice was home team, so there was no need to take our last bats.  Final score....5-4 for us.

Once again....Black Ice players didn't give up.....and your efforts paid off.   Nice job.
