OlderWhiskey 953 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The girls effectively dispatched the Hornets 8-0, scoring two in each inning while committing no errors. Handley started and retired the first 8 batters before yielding a walk. The next two batters got bunt singles before Lexie assisted on the 3d out herself. Swindle got 3 groundouts on 8 pitches for her night's work, and Harris finished it off in the 5th, getting one out by slapping down a line drive headed for her face and throwing the runner out at first. We loaded the bases in the first with no outs on hits by Snow and McCrackin, and a walk to Rivera. Tannon drove in the first run with a sac fly to the warning track in left. Rivera then essayed to steal seecond, and the catcher threw down, allowing Crack to score. Rivera, who had 3 stolen bases on the night, was safe also. Taylon passed the 100-hit mark as a sophomore, the first to do that since Cooper in 2015. The other highlight of the night was a 2-run homer by Bree Fornis.

slot canyon 1,328 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Handley definitely had better control Wednesday night. She fielded several ground balls and did not hurry the throw to 1st base. The team really needs to get some quality innings from her. I got tickled seeing Bree's reaction as she rounded 2nd base raising her arms after the home run. She came so close in the last series to putting one over the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
