Well we couldn't get a hit last night. But, tonight we really did a great job putting the ball in play. We fought against a tough Carroll Charger team tonight at Denny Feagler Field. The Chargers scored first in the first inning and then the Lady Railroaders scored to tie things up. For the next 6 innings the Chargers controlled the game even though Garrett hit the ball hard. They didn't dominate but were good enough to build a 3-1 lead. Both Katie Depew and Rachel Stafford had well hit balls that were snagged in desperation and then plays were made to pick off Garrett Runners. Hannah McCoy made a great catch in Center field and threw the ball with confidence to Home plate with perfect accuracy. Even though we didn't get the out, we did everything right on that play. Our young team is starting to play better. We still had a few errors that need eliminated but we are improving.
In the bottom of the 7th Garrett loaded the bases with no outs. A grounder was hit to third base, the play was at home, but the catcher mishandled the ball and we scored. Now it's 3-2. Next batter, same situation, bases loaded, ball hit to third, exact same result. But, this time the ball goes to the backstop and 2 runs score. Game over!
Good Job Ladies! You deserved the win because of your effort! I am sure we'll have a few more bumps in the road, but we are making progress.
