Recap

Another Win for our Lady Blue Streaks!

No need for my Nitroglycerin on this one.  The Cedar Cliff Colts scored 1st in the Top of the 1st, but Township once again showed their defensive prowess & quickly ended the inning on a ground out to Bella Stern (2nd).  It was then the Streaks turn & they never looked back, racking up 6 runs in the bottom of the 1st. They did it the old fashion way with singles from Ashley Bryant (LF), Sara Hess (C), Ava Stern (1st), Paige Hughes (3rd), & a double by May Castillo (DP).

It quieted down a little after that until Ellie Comerford unleashed a 2 run HR to LF, scoring May Castillo who had singled, stole 2nd & 3rd earlier.  The Colts showed some life with a 3 run HR of their own, but the deficit was too much to overcome.

The left side of the defense was busy & lights out with Katie Moore (SS) catching 4 fly balls in the 3rd, 4th, & 2 in the 5th and Paige Hughes (3rd) catching a fly ball in the 1st & fielding 4 grounders in the 1st, 4th, & 5th.  The defense also turned another double play in the 6th with Sara Hess (C) making a fantastic catch on a popped-up bunt attempt & throwing out the runner on 1st with a heads-up Bella Stern (2nd) covering for Ava Stern (1st) who was crashing on the bunt.

Freshman, Violet Wagner (RHP) records her 1st Varsity “W” with 6 innings pitched (80 pitches), surrendering 5 runs on 6 hits, 4 BB, & 3 strike-outs.

Township posts their 2nd win of the season with a 15-5 final over Cedar Cliff & their 1st Home win! A good start, but still plenty of work to do.

Your Lady Blue Streaks will be back in action with a good test at home vs. Wilson on Monday, March 24th @ 1615.
