Staying Strong!

Hey Hillcat Fans!

Conference keeps getting tougher, but were hanging in there! This week we had St. Gregs at home. The first game we came out slow but Kaitlin McCool opened it up with a bomb over left field fence. St. Gregs came back and got 2, which put them on top. As a team we haven't been hitting like we usually do. Which makes it hard to come back. We took the first loss 2-1. Both these games are huge for us, so we knew we had to come back with a win in the second game. But, with no hits and mental errors we fail to get that much needed win.

Yesterday was a huge day for the team and our standings. With so much rain lately we were a little nervous we wouldn't get to play, but somehow coach always gets the field ready. We hosted Lubbock Christian, ranked 6th in the nation, at 4 & 6. The first game we couldn't get the hits when they were needed and lost 5-0. Fleck took the loss but pitched rather well. Our offence really needs to step up for her. Which is exactly what we did the second game. With Fleck throwing another great game we came out with some great defencive plays early. LCU hit a 2 run bomb in third. But, with a little grit in our britches we came back and scored 3. McCool started the inning off with a base hit up the middle, I hit and got on by and Error. Shona Guerrero kept it going with a base hit. Taran Threet came up with a huge 2 strike bunt which put me and Shona in scoring position, and let Linsey Curtis hit a 2 run double into right center. All we had to do now was hold them. Fleck really kept it up in the circle throwing lights out. She finished the game Holding LCU to only 7 hits. Hillcats with the win...3-2! This was a HUGE win for the team and showing people were here and not going anywhere.
