Final from Nicholasville.:angrybird10:

Surprised by this one...what happened?

Game was pretty even up to the 4th. East capatilized on an error to go up 1-0.

Bourbon was hitting the ball, just to positions and honestly when we did get the runners on they were wasted by not playing patient. We tried forcing runners into scoring position and didn't really need to. Leead off gets on, hit & run called (with the #2 already 1-1 today), Rise ball thrown, no swing, lead off caught going into 2nd. Next pitch #2 buries it in the fence, had we played patient lead off would have scored. I guess what I'm saying is hit & run is needed in the game, 1-0 in the top of the 4th isn't the time. If we wuld have let the game come to us it would have been a different situation. We are always rushing like we dont have a true concept of patience. Just frustrating.

Not taking anything away from East, they played a well balanced game and exploited shortcomings.

In the 6th Bourbon gave up 2 more runs. From there East excuted nicely to close out the last 2 innings.

 

Side note: It was Hayley Hamms first game back since her injury. She pitched one helluva game.
