SMC Softball 09 vs Philly & Bethel

The Purple Knights had an EPIC third day in Orlando, splitting a pair of thrillers -- losing 3-2 to Philadelphia University with the tieing run on 3rd in the last inning and then winning 6-5 over Bethel University of Minnesota in extra innings, with Bethel having the winning run on base in the bottom of the 8th, after entering the international tiebreaker tied at 1-1.

Hillary pitched a great game in the opener, with KellyE finishing in relief after Hill hurt her leg running the bases. MegO turned in a pitching performance for the ages against Bethel -- throwing over 130 pitches and battling through the final inning simply fueled by determination. Kate and AshleyH each had triples on the day ... Kate added a pair of walks, a pair of stolen bases, scored the go ahead run in the 8th in the victory for the Knights, and a (much appreciated) catch in right center with 2 outs in the 8th to seal the victory.

The 2009 Knights have impressive character -- they refuse to give up and that grit earned them a victory today (nearly earned them TWO wins today, actually). Their willingness to keep battling will serve them well. Bravo!
