Softball vs. Bowling Green

[OlderWhiskey 954]

Auburn leads 2-0 after two.  Each team has two hits.  Peralta walked and manufactured a run alone, followed by a solo homer by Ellis. (6 now, I think.)  McCrary doubled in the second and stole third, but got no help.  Blaine playing third, McCrary left.  Battery is Widra/Lisenby.

Top third:  Widra gets an out, then three consecutive hits from the top of BG's lineup, scoring a run.  Runners on 2d and 3d, one out.

Annabelle gets a K and a popup to finish the top.  She has 6 SOs but has given up 5 hits.  Top of the order due up for Auburn.

Auburn plates three in bottom 3 to lead 5-1.  Peralta singled, McCondichie reached on a passed ball on 3d strike.  Several mistakes by BG and a double by Garcia led to 3 runs.  Garcia thrown out at home, trying to score when a ball was thrown into right field.  Defensive changes:  Bryant to 3d and Cox to RF.  

In top 4 Widra gets a strikeout and a popup before yielding her first walk on a 3-2 count.  Needs to get Reid so the top of the order doesn't come up with runners on. 

OK, Reid struck out.  Bryant reaches on an error, bringing up Lisenby, then Peralta.  

Yes ma'am!  Lisenby doubles, then Peralta walks.  Bases juiced with McCondichie, Blaine and Ellis due.  Apparently Blaine moved to DP.  A fielding error and a bases-loaded groundout bring in two runs.  Now Ellis scores two somehow on a flyout and it's 9-1.  Now Cox strikes out to end the inning at 9-1 Auburn.  Each team has 5 hits, but we can run-rule if we hold them scoreless in top 5.  They have 5 errors.

Dees singled up the middle for her 3d hit of the game.  Roach now at short for us.  Widra gets a groundout, then Weber gets her third hit of the game.  Can't get those two out.  Runners on 2d and 3d with one out, but Widra induces a popout and a lineout to center field to end the game at 9-1.  BG had 7 hits to our 5, with Dees and Weber having 6 of those.  Sort of an off day the plate for us, but BG wasn't very disciplined and helped us out a lot.
