St. Mike's finally got to host it's home opener at home (after relocations and postponements), and stayed close to Merrimack in both games, but each got away late. MegO took the loss in the opener, which went into extra innings before Merrimack finally prevailed. KatieW took the loss in the nightcap, as Merrimack broke open a one-run game in the late innings. Ashley and Heather each had two hits in the opener, MegO had four hits in the night cap and KellyL added a pair of hits. Katelyn had a busy day in centerfield and picked up a pair of walks and a pair of sacrifice bunts at the plate, and added a stolen base for good measure.

It was almost a warm afternoon (despite the snowbanks beyond the outfield fence), but it quickly turned into a coooold windy evening as the games lasted into the darker portion of dusk -- shivering caused enough camera shake to cost me some nice shots ... Tonight's collection is pretty mediocre, I'm afraid -- maybe better tomorrow.
