Megan Elliott Starting pitcher had rough start to the game with 5 BB and 1 HP in the first 6 batters, Karli Duren came in to finish the game and had 4 K and only gave up 3 BB in 3IP.
We were very disciplined at the plate walking 11 times. Brandi Cline and Lauren Vess lead the team with one hit each. Many other girls put the ball in play. This was a great start to the day. The girls really played hard and had a lot of hustle. –Amber Cline
BSC vs. Buffalo Larson Lawn W 9-8 (Winning Pitcher, Lauren Vess)
Lauren Vess starting pitcher - 2 IP 1 K, Followed by Abby Toler - 2 IP 1K
We had really hot bats this game. Every girl on the team was on base at least once it the game. Karli Duren 2-3, Brandi Cline 2-3, Abby Toler 2-3, Breanna Barber 2-2 (2B, 3B), Megan Elliott 2-2 (2B), Makenzie Hatley 3-3, Tauri Hale 1-2.
I was so proud of the girls. This was a very close game the whole time. Our defense stepped up when we needed them and let nothing by. We where unstoppable on offense. I haven't seen these girls play this hard all season they left everything they had on the field. –Amber Cline
BSC vs. Buffalo Gillespie L 5-8
Megan Elliott starting pitcher 1IP 1K, Lauren Vess 1IP 1K and finished up with Abby Toler 1 IP 3 K.
We faced a 16 year old pitcher. Our girls have never faced anyone so fast and we attempted to hold our own. We were in control in the box and made her pitch. We played smart at the plate and didn't swing at her junk. We ended the game with no hits but had 9 BB. Once we got on base we where very aggressive getting around them to get in scoring position. The girls battled hard and never gave up. –Amber Cline
BSC vs. Pleasant Hope Steelers L 0-15
Abby Toler was the starting pitcher. 3IP. Karli Duren came in as relief for 1IP.
Breanna Barber had BSC’s only hit.
Pleasant Hope is a very solid team. They have great defense and are really good at the plate. We had great pitching from Abby who only gave up 3BB. Karli came in with a strong finish. We hit smart the whole game. We had lots of full counts and battled had. Again we played really hard to finish up our season.
The BSC 12U Gold team finished tied for second after this tournament. It came down to runs allowed and we got third place. I am so proud to have had the chance to coach these girls all season. They have all improved and grown so much as softball players. Everyone one of them played with heart during this tournament and left everything they had on the field. This was a great way to finish the season for these girls and they can all hold their heads high they played great individually and as a team. – Amber Cline
Up Next- Season complete
Record: 5-13
