WP- Katie Groves  LP- E. Fuson

Katie’s line: 7 hits, 1 walk, 7 strike outs, 1 earned run.

Atlantic Highlights…
3ed- Leah Tjepkes singled and moved to second on a bunt by Ali Krogman.
ReAnn Cappel singled and Liz Metheny reached on a bunt to load the bases.
Tiara Edelman singled scoring Tjepekes.  Alisha Hinzmann reached on an
error when the shortstop overthrew first scoring both Cappel and Edelman.

5th- ReAnn Cappel led off the inning with a single and scored all the way
from first when the first baseman miss played a Liz Metheny bunt.

At the plate: ReAnn Cappel was 2-3

Comments by Coach Hinzmann…
“This was a very good win for us.  Woodward-Granger is a very good team in
all aspects of the game and we hit the ball well and Katie did a very good
job pitching against a team that really hits the ball”

GAME TWO:
1  2  3  4  5  6  7  R  H  E
KC   3  0  0  0  0  0  0  3  5  1

WP- Hoffman  LP-Katie Groves

Katie’s line: 5 hits, 2 walk, 1 hit batter, 1 strike outs, 3 earned run.

Atlantic Highlight…
7th- Paige Kennon singled to lead off the seventh, moved to second on a FC
then third on passed ball and scored on a FC hit by Alisha Hinzmann.

At the plate: ReAnn Cappel was 3-4, Paige Kennon 2-4, Bre VonWehye 2-4

Comments by Coach Hinzmann…
“We played about as well a game as possible without actually winning it.
We hit the ball well, Katie did another good job pitching, and we had no
errors but just couldn’t get a runner to cross home plate until the
seventh.  We left 16 runners on base.  Kuemper always plays well in their
own tournament and took advantage of two bloop hits and a walk in the
first to score three.  After that point Katie and the defense shut Kuemper
down.  Sometimes things just work out that way…you play poor and some
how come away with a victory and sometimes you do everything right and
just can’t score.  At this point in the season however I would rather play
well.”

GAME THREE;
1  2  3  4  5  6  7  R  H  E
ATL 0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  4  2
DEN 0  1  0  0  3  0  x  3  7  1
WP- S. Pieper  LP-Liz Metheny

Liz’s Line: 7 hits, 0 walk, 0 strike outs, 1 earned run.

Comments by Coach Hinzmann…
“We again played a pretty good game and had a good effort by Liz our
pitcher but just couldn’t score.  Over all I was pretty pleased with our
effort in all three games, sometimes it becomes easy to loose mental focus
on hot, three game day, but I did not feel the team did at any point.
Overall I thought we hit, fielded, and pitched pretty well going into the
last week of the regular season.”

Atlantic Highlight:
5th – Paige Kennon walked.  Katie Grovers doubled scoring Kennon.

Coach Hinzmann’s comments on game one…
“Creston did a great job at the plate, putting runners on base and putting
pressure on our defense and we just didn’t really respond to well.”

GAME TWO:
1  2  3  4  5  6  7  R  H  E

CRS: 1  1  0  0  0  1  X  3  6  1

WP-Madison Frain  LP-Katie Groves

Coach Hinzmann’s comments on game two…
“We didn’t get many hits, but we did a much better job defensively and
Katie did a good job with the pitching duties and we were able to hold
Creston within striking distance.  If we are going to win games against
quality opponents with very good pitchers, we’re probably not going to out
hit them and therefore we need good pitching, play flawless defense, and
hope we can create a run or two along the way to win a 1-0 or 2-1
game…something like that. I was pleased we fought back after a tough
game one and on such a hot day it would have been easy for the girls to
‘go threw the motions’ and head back home with two embarrassing losses,
but they did not let that happen.  That is a credit to their
competitiveness.
