After 2 full

Notre Dame 6 Highlands 2

Notre Dame leaves 2 in scoring position, but do not dent the plate in their half of the 3rd.

With one out a base hit, E6, hit batter, & E6 scores 1.....then Rachel Gabbard hits a one-hopper off the leftfield fence to drive in two more. E3 scores another. Notre Dame left fielder Amanda Meager stops the bleeding with an "amazing" sliding catch.

After 3 full.......we all tied up at 6-6.

 

Notre Dame gave them 6 outs in that inning.

Notre Dame, "zip" in their half of the 4th.

Notre Dame letting Highlands hang around.

Pitching

Spencer for Highlands

Smith for Notre Dame.

 

ND ss, Laura Finke ends the Highlands 4th with a sliding catch in foul territory. Still 6-6.

Abby Jones leads the Notre Dame 5th off with a shot to the centerfield fence that is dropped for an E8, she is stranded at 3rd. WOW!

 

Still 6-6

Notre Dame letting Highlands hang around.

 

That's a NO NO !!!

Through 5 full, still 6-6.

Notre Dame 6th............batter reaches on an error, but nothing again.

Wow, sounds like both teams are playing a little sloppy. One thing about HHS is they are hitters. A team that hits always has a chance to win.
