This was a very competitive friendly with lots of good teams facing off. During the previous week, we found out that we were going to be without our two leadoff hitters, Amanda and Rachel, due to injuries. We had to juggle our hitting lineup a bit for this friendly.
We beat Mizuno Pride 2-1 on a good team effort. Tiffany pitched well and kept us close throughout and she also added a ground-rule double. Britnea and Lauren H also had key hits.
In the second game, Britnea pitched a great game, scattering 7 hits and leading us to a 3-2 win against Irvine Sting-Thomas. Skooch chipped in with 2 hits, Tiffany added a double, and Sarah had a clutch 2-RBI double.
In the third game against the Hurricanes 94, we got behind early although Lauren H kept us close with a good pitching effort. In our last at-bat, Sasha and Katie got key hits, we loaded the bases, and Britnea delivered a walk-off, 3-run double to give us the win, 5-4.
In the final game, we faced the Hurricanes 93. This was a close, competitive game that ended in a 0-0 tie. Tiffany pitched a great game, scattering 3 hits and striking out 5. We stopped one Hurricane rally on defense with a flyout-tagout double play from our center fielder (Skooch) to catcher (Sasha) to prevent the run.
Overall, the team played really well at this friendly. We were missing several key players and our players put together a string of great team efforts. Good job ladies!
