09 Season Underway

Warsaw 3 (1-0), Bolivar 2 (0-1)
Addie Murders, 2-3 (double)
Bekah Patton, single
Tristia Patton, Double
Jessi Bruce, single

Tristia Patton, (0-1) 7 K

We scored in the first after Addie doubled, stole 3rd and advanced home on a throwing error by the pitcher. They scored in the 1st and then in the 2nd to take a 2-1 lead and then scored again in the 4th to push the lead to 3-1.

We had chances late in the game. We scored in the 5th to make it 3-2 but could not get the tying run across. In the 7th, Tristia hit a 2 out double and advanced to 3rd on an error but we couldn't get that run across.

Warsaw is a very good team. They were 20-4 last year losing in sectionals after losing to Bolivar in the opener at Bolivar. They return everyone and look like they could make a nice run in October if everyone stays healthy. We competed very well and I am proud of our efforts. We just need to find ways to get more runs across and get the 2 out hits.

It doesn't get any easier, we host Ozark Thursday and go to Ash Grove for a Tournament on Saturday. Monday we have El Dorado Springs at home and go to Willard Tuesday.
