Crushers vs Dr. Brehnan’s
Lean Mean Little Ladies (05/05/2010) Saturday’s game showed the Purple Crushers and Lean Mean Little Ladies (“LMLL”) to be very well matched.

The third inning started off with nice cuts by Eliana Rosen-Bloom and lefty Sonya Love. Jayne Frank followed suit with a base hit and bases were loaded! By the bottom of the third inning, LMLL fielding was coming on strong with a string of great plays by the LMLL’s. Shortstop Hannah Lane-Goldstein and third base Lucy Ihnken were in splendid form towards the end of the game, getting several runners out at third base.

McNally Tigers The Rockin’ Robbins had only 8 players instead of their usual 12. First Inning, Sarah is up, but strikes out...ouch, too bad. Kaili is next up at bat, hits a double! Go Kaili! Glenna, who was unfortunately hit in the head by a ball during warm up, shook it off and was next at bat, but struck out. Kaili steals third, woo hoo! Tara gets a base hit, and Kaili makes it home. Lena is next up at bat, she hits the ball, she’s running, but the pitcher picked up the ball and threw it to the first before Lena got there. Ooohh, so close! But, alas, she was out. :( Second Inning, No hits, No runs, No errors for both the Tigers and the Rockin’ Robbins! Third Inning. Tigers are up. No one was more surprised than Delaney herself when she caught a ball on the fly, and it was the third out as well! Sarah is up, but oohh, strikes out. Kaili gets a base hit again! Unfortunately, Glenna’s head is hurting and drops out of the game. Tara gets a base hit. Lena gets a single base hit and advances to second. Woo hoo ! Rocky used her awesome bunting skills and got a base hit. Unfortunately, Tara was on third and ran home but was tagged out. At the same time, Lena made an amazing slide to third. Ivy struck out, the game was over. Final Score: Tigers 4, Rockin’ Robbins 2. Maybe next time Rockin’ Robbins!
