Resisting Temptation but Sweet Revenge: Webster 14, Mehlville 3

Parents who witnessed last year's game against Mehlville have at least a little idea how hard it was to not run it up and rub it in, given the way the Panthers and their parents treated some of our players last year, and how their parents and coach complained about our sportsmanship. Ironically, we had the same umpire as last year; he remembered and DID know how hard it was. But Sophie & Sydney, this one's for you.

Nevertheless, after kind of a flat start, we jumped all over an overmatched squad in the second and third innings to pound out a 10-0 lead behind Sami Meyer's 3 innings of no-hit pitching and supported by strong infield defense. 

Batting stars included Emily Rapp with a triple and a grand slam homer and Megan McClure with three hits including her first home run and five RBI. 

I feel good about how our girls handled themselves, cheering on their teammates and winning with class. We just took our W and got on the bus. Kirkwood at home tomorrow is our “Sophomore Game” and with a win we can take a 10-10 record into Hancock’s tournament on Saturday.
