Wise Declaws Bears
- 09 May 2006
Christine Wise (11-6) scattered 8 hits allowing the Mounts to hold of the Bears in Elizabethtown Monday night 4-3.The Bears struck first in this one pushing a run across in the bottom of the third on a suicide squeeze.
The Mounts came right back in the top of the fourth scoring three runs. Keirah Hoerner (.483 BA) scored first on a Jen Keith ground out, and Jolyn Stauffer followed with an RBI single in the inning, Nicole Miller then courtesy ran for her, promptly stole second, the stole third and advanced home as the throw from the catcher skipped into the outfield. The Mounts collected three hits in the inning and took the lead 3-1.
The score remained there until the fifth inning when the Bears leadoff batter Bigler tripled and was plated on an Ahern single.
Again the Mounts came right back in the sixth loading the bases before Erica Ewing reached on a fielding error which plated Caitlin Mull who had singled earlier in the inning and the Mounts stretched the lead back to two, 4-2.
The Bears went 1-2-3 in the sixth, as did the Mounts in the seventh.
Then things got interesting for the Mounts. In the bottom of the seventh Hipple reached on a fielding error, and was replaced by Heisey as a courtesy runner. The Bears Libby struck out on a wild pitch allowing Heisey to move to second, she then stole third with Bigler up again.
Again Bigler blasted a shot, this time to deep right field, scoring Heisey, but Mull tracked down the ball fired to Audrey Thorp who relayed it to Stauffer to nail Bigler at the plate and keep the lead at 4-3.
The Bears followed with another single, but the momentum had long since shifted to the Mounts and Wise induced Klim into a comebacker to end the game.
