Sparks, you have been SO great defensively this week! You held the Stingers to 10, the Crush to 8, and now the Mystics to 4!
Defensive highlights -
Jordan's put out at first
Allie's assist
Carly's force out at 3rd
Jenna's two put outs at first
Abby's two put outs at first and a caught pop-up
Paige's assist...
...all combined for a great team effort!
Did I mention that no pitcher allowed more that one run in any inning? And that Taylor and Jenn each pitched shut out innings? Awesome!
Offensively, we were a little quiet - only Jenna, Taylor, and Abby had hits. I think I said this last time I wrote - there is not a pitcher in the league whose pitches you can't hit! I know some of you watch opposing pitchers warm up, and when they look like they're fast, you think it's going to be tough to hit. Have confidence! You've been hitting well against every team we've played - you wouldn't have won 9 games if you couldn't hit!
As an example, look at Jenna's triple in this game - she hit that ball off of the Mystics best - and fastest - pitcher! Believe you will hit the ball - stand in there, be aggressive, watch the ball, and swing with everything you have - it will happen!
Star of the Game honors were awarded to:
Jenna - 3 at bats, a double, a triple, two put outs in the field, and two innings pitched, allowing only one run
and, from the last game against the Stingers...
Anna - 4 at bats, one run scored, three hits, and three stolen bases
All right, on to our next game against...oh! Look! The Mystics again!
- Coach Drew
