Haylie and Sara power SB to Mercy-Rule win
The weather was brisk and cold today as the few hundred spectators who braved the elements bundled themselves to stay warm. It was a chilly 42F in AA today. Coach Hutch looked like Kenny from South Park with her winter gear on.
The temperatures were certainly ice-cold but the pitchers were hot, hot, hot. Haylie and Sara combined on a 3-hit performance for the Mercy-rule win against Bowling Green; 9-1. Haylie was the starting and winning pitcher going 3 innings, giving up 0 runs on 1 hit. She had 5 Ks and 0 BB with 1 HBP on the second pitch of the game. Sara came on in the 4th and pitched 2 innings giving up 1ER on 2 hits with 3ks and 1BB.
The offense was led by Freshman Kelsey Susella. She started at 1b and went 2 for 2 with 4 RBIs and a run scored. Colie went 2 for 3 with 2 runs scored. Caitlin Blanchard kept up her torrid pace by going 2 for 2 with 2 runs scored. Jacklyn Crummy went 2 for 3 with an RBI. Amy Knapp kept her contributions up by going 1 for 1 with an RBI and 2 runs scored. Overall we had 10 hits.
Ashley Lane took a hot shot off the face off a line drive but was smiling when Coach went out to talk to her. She appeared to be alright but she might have a shiner tomorrow. This pushes our record to 25-7 entering a 3 game series at Penn State this weekend.
In michigan? Idk about all of that... Chilly? certainly. Cold? Yea.. Ill give ya that. Ice cold? This is Michigan feegodsakes
It was 10 degrees warmer than icy cold. That would be in the chilly range for sure.
Hope I have time to catch a few games soon!
One more game, one more win. Obviously we expect to roll a team like BGSU, but it's good to see us cruise this easily. I was especially glad to see Wagner get some good innings in since she got a late start on the season.
