Nice showing by the Indians.

HC lost 7-4 in extra innings to Simon Kenton tonight.

 

Anna Clement went the distance and took a tough loss. She pitched really, really well. I can only remember her walking maybe 1 or 2 batters and was in complete command most of the game.

 

HC took the lead in the bottom of the 1st. Courtney Turner collected the first hit of the year for the Indians, stole 2nd and scored on a ground-out by Clement. SK tied it in the third and took the lead 3-1 in the fifth on a 2-out, 2-run bloop single that dropped in front of the right fielder.

Turner tied it again in the 6th with a sac fly to center.

 

Each team then took turns missing opportunities. Clement pitched out of a bases loaded, one out jam in the 7th. HC then left the winnng run on base in the bottom half of the 7th.

 

SK broke it open in the 8th to secure the win.

 

 

At Beechwood tomorrow...

Nice showing by the Indians.

 

SK is going to have a long year, but it was nice being competitive in the first game out of the gate.

Who is the little catcher? She is impressive.

That's the transfer from Holmes...she played 3rd tonight. She was catching the other day since our normal catcher was injured.

HC 1

 

Freshmen Veronica Specht and Courtney Turner each had two hits. Anna Clement doubled home Turner with the only run of the game as the Indians dropped to 0-2.

 

The score is a little misleading. It was a 3-1 game heading to the 6th. Becca Ruschel started the game but was lifted after 1-2/3 innings. The Colonels busted the game open with 1 run in the 6th and 7 more in the 7th. The 7-run 7th was aided by a couple of hit batsmen (uh, batswomen) and a string of errors and missed cut-offs. Again, just a very, very young team learning on the fly.

 

Chafin, who had been out with a wrist injury was back behind the plate and made a couple of nice plays with the glove.

HC 10

 

The Lady Indians picked up their first win of the season down at the Frozen Tundra (Bowman Field) tonight.

 

Freshman Alehia Tucker hit an inside the park HR on a rocket past the center fielder and sophomore Ashley Meeks tripled to right with the bases loaded to fuel the offense.

 

Anna Clement picked up the win, going the distance.

The info in this thread on Holy Cross is great! :thumb:

 

However, please make sure you give each game its own individual thread.

Seems as if that would be a little harder to follow for someone only interested in how a particular team is doing...but as you wish. I'll create a new thread for each game going forward.

Thanks RT12 :thumb:

Just wondering why such a short batter's box at that field , very short box. I seen 3 catcher interference , but only 1 was called. Umps not the best tonight! What is the official box for high school in softball?

Never heard of a short batters box before. They seemed fine last year. A short box shouldn't have anything to do with catchers interference. The umps usually are not at their best!!

I'll ask about it. The catchers on both teams were sitting a little too close to the batter. I did notice that as well. The umps were telling them to move back a bit all night.
