Mr. Willy’s, a SCWSL “A” Division team, started strong by scoring six runs in the top of the first inning. Leadoff batter Erica Boyd singled and started the momentum. Mr Willy’s pitcher Kim Jay then doubled and Ashley Mann singled to load the bases. Megan Ellison was up and she didn’t disappoint, connecting with the ball to drive two runs home.
Diane Meyer was next at the plate and she singled. Linnea O’Mara then hit a two-run single. Heather Sherwood singled then Megan Reichmann doubled, allowing both Sherwood and O’Mara to score.
When L&B Too, a SCWSL “B” Division team, came up to bat in the bottom of the first, leadoff batter Lynnie Eisenbach grounded out. But Becky Decker tripled and then scored off Tini Kaiser’s single. Mr. Willy’s then got two quick outs in the field to end the inning.
A great hit to center field by Jay started off the top of the second, but L&B Too pitcher Liz Giumarra and her defense were able to then record three outs before Mr. Willy’s could score.
