SMC finished off its first day in Florida for the 2008 season in great style, coming from behind for a bottom-of-the-7th win over Grove City. KatieW started on the mound and KellyE debuted with a strong relief performance as the Purple Knights battled back from an early deficit to take the lead. Grove City rallied to tie it in the 7th, but MegO stepped in to slam the door and preserve the tie. Kater lead off the bottom of the 7th by drawing a walk -- and then scored all the way from first on Ashley's bunt as the throw skittered away from the 1st baseman ... MegO earned the win in relief, I believe, and Heather and Lindsay contributed clutch rbi hits. Kater ended up 1 for 3 with a stolen base and 2 runs scored.

SMC improved to 2-0 on the season and now have two days off to relax in Florida, playing again on Tuesday the 18th. My photo timing was off all day, but I got something of each player over the course of the first two games, so that's a start.
