As if any of us had any nails left to bite after last night's 11 inning marathon, BH and Bellville provided us with yet another close game, this one only taking 7 innings. Barbers Hill managed the lone run of the game in the bottom of the 4th, and advances to play Elgin next week.
Tough day for the Brahmanettes. They hit the ball, sometimes hard, just weren't able to find the holes. They also left several runners on base and in scoring position. Barbers Hill's pitcher did a great job of throwing strikes and allowing her defense to make plays, and they did. Bellville had their chances to get runs on the board, but couldn't execute certain situations. Throw in a few base running mistakes, and they ended up with 0 runs.
Tremendous series though between to very good teams. Both of these teams played their hearts out and provided us with some tremendous softball. BH has pretty solid pitching and seem to hit throughout their lineup, they'll give any team a run for their money. I was very impressed by their #4, the CFer. Hitting, defense, baserunning, she was terrific at it all.
Can't put into words how proud I am of this Bellville team. One of the best teams we've had in a while, just ran into a killer of a bracket. #13, you continue to make me proud with your leadership and courageous play. You've got lots of good softball ahead of you. I'm proud of you and I love you. This was a very young team, and they'll be a force for years to come. The 1,2, 3, and 5 hitters were all FR or SO's, and the top two pitchers were a JR and a FR. Plus the talent coming up from the Jr. High level, this team can make a serious run in two years or so. Heads up Brahmanettes, no shame in bowing out of this region early. You certainly showed that you're one of the top teams in the state, congrats.
