That perfect game that the Rays needed when playing the
first place Angels in their prior game? Yeah, that was pretty much what they had
tonight. It seemed as though nothing could really go wrong throughout the entire
game. Samantha had an excellent game in the field, catching a pop-fly to record
an out. She also fielded two grounders and threw the ball to first base to get
two more outs while playing second base. She also managed a double while
batting, in addition to two walks and a strikeout. All in all her play pretty
much reflected that of the rest of the team, as they cruised to an 11-1 victory,
securing the Rays third place in the tournament. This was after finishing 5th in
the regular season, and beating both the 4th and 2nd place team teams while only
losing to the eventual champions, the first place Angels! Not bad, and a great
season overall! Congratulations Rays, and congratulations Samantha!
