Game vs. Michigan 5/13/2006 (L 9-8)

This was a real tough game.  We got behind early, but gradually chipped away at the lead to get within one.  We gave ourselves a chance, but came up just one run short.  This will happen in softball sometimes.
 
As Mr. B. said, it was not a bad game, but our defense can play much better.  I'm confident that it will.
 
Kudos to:
 
  • Emily, game ball, at a critical moment in the game threw a runner out at home from the outfield.

  • Jessica, yet again pitched a complete game when we asked her to (adds to her iron-person reputation).  She also scored two runs.

  • Megan Murphy, had four walks (must be some kind of record) and scored three runs.

  • Ashley, had a solid defensive game at shortstop (five assists).
 
Special Kudos to:
 
  • The Sjostroms, for the wonderful pizza party after the game!
 
Even though we came up short, there were positive signs.  If we concentrate on that we'll do just fine.
 
Mr. B. and Mr. T.
