The Warriors had to get up very early for this game. They played against Rogue River at 8:00 in the morning. The game only lasted four innings with Mia pitching the whole game. It only went four innings because our NEP softballers scored nineteen runs and only allowed two.
On an interesting note, Carling managed to get hit in the leg with pitches at her first two at bats. Fortunately, she is a powerhouse and plays right through it. (Some say she even uses it to help her become even more powerful - who knows?) Eden took a pitch as well and didn't seem to be phased by it. Mia had great control and hit none of the Rogue River girls.
The highlight of the game however, was the grand slam homerun scored by Grace. She had a well hit ball that went to the outfield but far enough to allow Lucia, Sheena, and Jordan all score before Grace herself rounded third and touched home just a second before the ball was thrown toward the catcher (The ball was thrown too high so there was not real threat but it was exciting just the same.)
If you want to catch some of the highlights you can watch this YouTube video that has the plays strung together. The homerun hit is at about one minute twenty seconds in to the 4 minute video.
