Samantha and her Holly Red teammates headed into the final
week of the season in first place, and ready to head into the championship game
by holding their own in the final two games. Their opponent today had only
suffered 4 defeats so far this season, and the parents on the other team were
shocked to see a girl on the team (and even more so when they spotted the second
girl!). Thankfully Sam showed them what she was made of with good fielding and
some timely hits as well, as her team easily won the game by a score of 14-4.
The victory meant that their spot in the championship game was secured, with the
result of the final game meaningless in the standings.
