Wow. Where do I begin? You were amazing tonight!
The two things I loved the most about the way you all played tonight -
1) you all paid attention when you were on the bases, and were ready to steal whenever you could
2) you all were - I'll say it again - amazing! - in the field. You fielded the ball cleanly, threw to your teammates with accuracy, and caught TWO fly balls!
Let's see, what else was great?
Taylor struck out 2 in the first inning, allowing only one run
Jenna struck out 1 in the second, and also allowed only one run thanks to two great defensive plays, one of which included Nikki throwing to from left field to Jenna, who tagged out a runner who was trying to make it to third. GREAT PLAY!
Taylor pitched another strong inning in the 3rd, with some help from Emily's awesome pop-up catch, and Paige's throw to Kelly at second for a force out.
Abby - who hadn't pitched all season - threw a NO HITTER in the 4th inning with one strikeout, and a little help from a great catch at shortstop by Esther.
All in all, the pitchers threw only 10 walks tonight - only two walks per inning is VERY good!
Offensively, we were sort of aggressive, but we do need to be swinging the bat with more confidence! We had 6 hits in the game - one each from Carly, Abby, Nikki, and Paige. Kelly had two hits, and 2 RBI.
Overall, Sparks, this was the best all-around game you've played!
Star of the Game honors were awarded to:
Emily - 3 at-bats, two runs scored, a stolen base, and a great catch in the infield. Also, she made some very positive contact with the ball tonight - even if they were foul balls.
I'm so proud to be your coach, Sparks - keep up the great work!!
Coach Drew
