For a while it appeared as though neither the girls from
the Mega Coney Island team or their competition across the field, the Irish
Brothers, wanted to score today. To call it a pitcher's duel wouldn't be quite
right - they use a pitching machine, after all, plus there were hits here and
there. In fact, each team had a bases-loaded situation early on. Neither team
was able to get that crucial RBI hit, however. Jayden struggled today, striking
out in both of her plate appearances. She also didn't see much in the way of
action in the field today. The Mega team managed to grab a 1-0 lead, and for a
while it seemed like that might be enough to secure the victory. Unfortunately
the Irish Brothers team had the last at-bat of the game, and they used to their
advantage, scoring the tying run. The Mega girls were able to stop the bleeding
at 1, resulting in their second tie of the season with a 1-1 score.
