Not much detail on this one....... BGH or LB care to provide??

I do not have the stats or book on this one, but little bit of a rough start to this game. Could have had something to do with the start time...supposed to start at 10:00...early in the morning it was pushed back to 11:00...get to the park and teams warming up and they start at 10:40 (est)....from a parent perspective the communication flow from the directors of this tournament needs improvement...i know the weather has something to do with it but this facility majorly lacks preparedness for hosting this tournament if there is rain in the forecast. Anyways....tired from a long weekend and an hour delay on 71 from a downed tree across the interstate...

 

Both teams had to deal with an earlier start time...but Haley Meyers struggled coming out of the gate hitting the first batter and walking the next two without throwing a strike. Lady Stangs get just one run on a passed ball, then Meyers strikes out the next two and Lady Breds cut down the runner at the plate for the third out on a dropped third strike throw-to-first-then-to-home. Missed opportunity to only get 1 run, but i guess fortunate to get one without even touching the ball. Haley Meyers settled down after the first three batters and pitched a very commanding game until the 6th when Lady Stangs collected their first hits.

Lady Breds damage came in the third and scored 4 runs on a collection of hits, fielder choices', passed balls, walks, and took advantage of given extra outs on the inning. More details will have to come from LB. Leadoff batter Kathryn Schrieber had three hits to get on base and/or to start scoring rallies at top of the order.

 

It was 5-1 Breds going to bottom of sixth and Lady Stangs finally break thru with 3 straight hits capped by two-run single by Amanda Lloyd on an almost spectacular catch by CF (name?) but it dropped and it looked like we had some momentum. Ashley Childress followed with a single but the inning fizzled out with a couple groundouts, the last one being a bang-bang play at first that didnt go our way. There were about 4 close plays where the call went against the Lady Stangs.

 

Giving props to some very nice defensive plays in addition to the almost diving catch by Breds CF mentioned above, Breds SS Lexy Breen made a "out of nowhere" catch on a shallow pop up literally behind the 3rd baseman that i thought was surely a hit placed over the infield. Then late in the game Brossart CF Riley Orth made two great catches, first on a deep drive to right center off Haley Meyers' bat and then the next inning made a diving catch coming straight in on a line drive. And following Riley Orth's first catch, SS Amanda Graus made a diving stop on a hard hit ball up the middle to get the force at second to end the inning.

 

Lady Stangs mounted a little rally in the bottom of the 7th getting the top of the lineup back up but Meyers closed it out.

 

That's all i got....

@BiggDaddy did a great job with his summary.

 

NewCath centerfielder, Kathryn Schreiber was 3-4 with a double, and almost came up with a ESPN worthy Web Gem. IMO, she is one of the best centerfielder's in the region.....don't let her size fool ya, she can track a ball down and has a well above average arm.

 

Lexy Breen made a couple spectacular plays from the 6-hole.
