Christian Park Softball
WOAH!! What a game. Our first game of the year was against Indiana Central's "A's". Rachael started us out with a strong bat, cracking her second pitch between first and second base. She landed safely on first. Stealing bases and kicking up the dirt she scored our only run in the first inning.
Thrilled with the start of the game, our ladies Rangers took to the field. Sadie pitching and Paige catching. The A's hit hard and by good playing and no errors on our part, scored 4 runs. With a little work and several beautiful throws to first base, we were up to bat again.
Boy, did our bats work. Even quicker were our steals. We took the lead by 1.
Venturing back on the field, several great plays were made. A third strike, dropped ball let the A's running for first, when Paige threw an amazing ball from the back of the stop over the dugout fence and nailed first base for the perfect out. Good job!
The A's kept slamming the base toward second base, where Brittany, Paula, in the first inning stopped everything. Then excellent husling by Dena, Mariah in the later inning, guarding second. Third base was not easy place for the other team either. It was skillfully played by Heather and Melissa. As the game continued on into the cool night, our score kept growing. Great RBI's by Amanda, Sadie, and Paige.
Finally, after the six inning, the coach from the A's called for the game. The 10 run rule, please. We responded, try 14 runs!
Christian Park Lady Ranges win their opening game 20 - 6.
