Best Game Yet? Marquette 7, Webster 4

We always play Marquette near season's end. They are always a good team. They always expect to beat us, sometimes frustrating their (good, competent) coach by not playing up to their level. So far, they always have. And, to put the Fox game into perspective, the Mustangs had split two games with the Warriors, run-ruling them but then losing 5-4 on a walk off,

I think it's indicative of how far our team, our entire team, has developed, that we were tied 4-4 after 5 innings. That we eventually lost by the deadline-mentioned 7-4 score diminishes none of that. Our ultimate goal for JV, every year, is to end the season as a more skilled and cohesive team than we started. Mission accomplished. 

Despite playing short-handed, with only 10 healthy players available, we ran the bases well, putting pressure on the Marquette nine, played solid defense, and saw Josie Krueger continue to grow in the circle. We were again complimented by both the opposing coach and umpiring crew on a well-played JV game. We're ready to defend our title tomorrow in the Hancock JV Tournament.
