Hitchhiker’s
Guide to the Galaxy Rule #1: “Don’t
Panic.” We didn’t and the result was our first win of the season. The Chargers
of Cor Jesu threatened, pulling to within one run, but we stayed steady, played
good defense, and prevailed.
In a
well-played game on both sides, Webster avenged last year’s extra inning loss
to CJ by jumping on top in the first two innings with good base running and 4
RBI by Grace Behrle, then playing good defense behind the strong pitching of
AnnaClaire Bryant, who picked up the win, and Grace, who tied the JV record for
saves in a season by notching her first with two good innings of relief.
Adjusting
to the local that was the Cor Jesu pitcher was a challenge after the express
that was Seckman hurler last week, but some early small ball and aggressive
running plated three runs in the first. Gives us a practice goal, for sure.
Illness
and varsity call-ups required some adjustments to the line-up, but Hannah Love
was solid on the corner at third. The OF had three put outs and two assists to help
shut down Charger rallies. Just an all around solid game with contributions
from every player offers the promise of more good softball for spectators as
the season goes on and the team continues to mature.
Scoring change. Upon further review, a error awarded to a player (because there is no mechanism to award it to an umpire) has been changed to a hit for Cor Jesu.
