WHAT. A. GAME. π₯π₯
First game of the fall. First game with this new squad. And a pretty great glimpse of what this group can be.
Our bats were asleep for five innings, but our pitching and defense kept us right there. The defense was awesome. Crisp, clean and aggressive. Our pitchers threw strikes, attacked the zone early and trusted the defense behind them. That was one of our biggest focuses in the circle coming into the fall: want contact. They did exactly that tonight.
And then came the 6thβ¦
π₯ A 12-SPOT. π₯
Timely hits. Patient at-bats. Aggressive, smart base running. One good AB after another, and suddenly the fireworks went off.
Some shout-outs from a really fun night:
π₯ #32 was slick at short and solid in the circle!
π₯ #12 was a presence. Good ABs all night, and sheβll get the ball in Game 1 tomorrow.
π₯ #11 kicked some you-know-what. π She hit, pitched AND caught a great game. Absolutely love her energy.
π₯ #10 started our rally with a HUGE knock in the 6th. Sheβs getting more confident every time she steps in the box and becoming such a reliable bat.
π₯ #8 came through with a huge, timely hit and ran like she always does. Just a really solid ballplayer.
π₯ #99 had a big knock and caught like a machine!
π₯ #7 roped a big hit during the rally and got us started in the circle. Threw the ball very well.
π₯ #24 swings a BIG bat. Love the way she owns the box when she steps in, and sheβs been fantastic at 1B.
π₯ #21 it was only a matter of time. This kid RAKES. The consummate ballplayer, and she delivered a big hit in that rally.
π₯ #15 stepped in at 2B for us tonight and caught well. Such a versatile player, and sheβs always a threat at the plate.
But my favorite part wasnβt the 12 runs.
It was everything that happened before them.
We kept it close. We stayed in the game. We clawed back.
There are nights when everything goes right and nights when not much does. The key is not getting caught up in either one and forgetting the process.
You just grind.
You keep competing.
You never stop getting after it.
Or, as we say with the Acesβ¦
BE RELENTLESS.
They certainly were tonight.
Very proud of these girls. β€οΈπ₯
Two early ones tomorrow. Get some rest and HYDRATE, ladies!
LG ACES! π₯ππ₯ππ₯ππ₯
