Today's game was well played on both sides. Despite facing a deficit for most of the game, Upper Merion used two walks and timely hitting in the 6th inning to tie the score. Both teams went scoreless in the 7th, despite each side having two runners on, and then Upper Dublin scored 3 runs in the top of the 8th to break the tie. Madden Reilly hit a one-out single (Sophie Cowen came in as the courtesy runner) and Kaitlyn Zacharia followed with a single to right field to put runners on the corners. Kyla Garrison helped her own cause with an RBI sacrifice fly to center field (scoring Cowen) to make it 6-5, and Bella Fiore followed with an RBI single up the middle to increase the lead to 7-5. Lizzie Tambourino and Kate Brannigan both followed with singles, and Sophia Vitella drew a bases-loaded RBI walk to make the score 8-5. Upper Merion had a 2-out runner from a slap single, but then Garrison struck out the last batter to end the game.
