Nice Win!
Mazon pitched a three hitter.
Only run was from an error early in the game.
Notables
ASU's second hitter has 10 home runs on the season.
Mazon struck out the side in the 5th and all three outs in the 6th were K's. Then, the first batter in the 7th (7th hitter) she throws four straight pitches that weren't even close. I remember in high school going in to the 7th with the lead seemed to always curse our pitcher... balL, baLL, bALL, BALL F#@$%&* FOUR!!! Used to drive me crazy. The debil's tried to bunt the runner over but Frosh 3B Charity Seveastasi got the lead runner. Then a bad hop to Xiao Gin at second and runners at first and second.
Next hitter goes right back to Xiao and she makes a nice play at first. Xiao has a very quick side arm release. I tell ya in softball a slower grounder or a ball that pops up in the glove will mostly result in the runner being safe. It's bang bang. Proven again by the next batter. Runners at second and third and Messer takes a routine grounder, cleanly fields it and makes a strong throw to first. I thought the runner was safe but the announcer said out by a half a step.
Our third base, short and second are all frosh (Messmer and Gin are Covid frosh). Simon in center is a frosh and catcher Bailey McLoughlin is a redshirt covid frosh. Hammoude is a Covid Sophomore. These are all good D1 players. If Berg could get a pitcher the caliber of Mazon next year we could make some noise. That's a big IF dammit.
Back on the diamond a 1pm tomorrow.
