This was another full team effort in route to a W for CR North. There was no particularly tough part of the lineup for the other team to have to worry about, as the girls all did their jobs from top to bottom. We had 11 different girls do something productive in the offensive box score (hit, score a run, or RBI), and thats a credit to the girls all working together instead of counting on individual heros.

Lucy Mills (in her first varsity start) did a great job in the circle for us keeping the Calvary bats at bay, and for the most part our defenders played solid behind her. I was particularly happy with Kayla Ripper in right field getting her first 9-3 assist on a ground ball through the right side that was likely the hardest hit ball of the day. I told Kayla before the season started that I wanted her to learn to play right field, because with her ability to use a combination of infield and outfield skills she can produce extra outs for us in that way. Her hard work in learning this is starting to show now, so that was really nice to see.

Calvary was a very classy team, and I was particularly impressed with their pitcher. She did a nice job battling, and never gave up regardless of the score. She came up with 7 strikeouts through the final three innings after going down 10 - 0 on the scoreboard in the second inning. That shows fantastic grit, and I think that will take them far moving forward.
