rebound after a rough game one where they were Shut Out by acrian across seven Innings they’ll turn to Taylor spyy in the circle little bit of the same lineup for maraville Rea Williams Sarah Co and Emily Hill that top three then it’s bayy Meyers Emily Dickinson Campbell White who will get the start in right field in game two AA Whit Whit Meer who came in as replacement in game number one Woodruff and Sierra Hudson first pitch from Spivey is a ball we’re underway in game two at 227 of course we knew we’d be behind schedule today with Senior Day festivities as there’s a strike one and one defensively for the Lions it looks like this Eisley speaks chronic Taylor across the infield with green at the catcher spot first to 1-1 give you the Outfield after misses outside two and one then vava Callaway and Lowry left to right in the Outfield so no changes defensively for the Lions of course in the circle it’s Spivey steinm went five and a third in game number one took the loss as that one’s on the ground that’s going to be a fair ball as H umpire will point to his right relay throw was almost in time but in there with a popup double is Brea Williams to lead off game number two that was hugging the line all the way down I wasn’t sure cuz even the third base umpire had to watch his head for that one and move out of the way it was the home plate umpire’s call S serut watch out on the first pitch here she likes to chase at it she’s got some pop that’s outside ball One Summer mccraine came on in relief in game number one pitched an inning and two3 got out of a Bases Loaded a jam didn’t surrender a hit didn’t surrender a run as that misses out or upstairs I should say from Spivey two balls and no strikes 2 ball three [Music] three on the way from Taylor Spivey it’s a four pitch walk to Cs and now the first two Runners have reached that’ll bring up Emily Hill and that’s quickly going to be a visit from coach Martin Spivey has been a little while with the control to start off game number two into the box of first baseman Emily Hill upstairs 1 and O 10 pitch on the way this one rolled foul one and one are are they saying that that foul ball was a base [Music] [Applause] hit wait what just happened the bases are loaded now oh catcher interference sure okay all right I think catcher interference was called on green so now Hill is at first place first base okay now we’re set pitch from Spivey is a strike one on the ground softly hit over to speak slaps the tag on C and did she whiff the tag I think she did so all hands are safe it’s an infield RBI single or rather that would be maybe E6 or is it infield single yeah infield single go for Bailey Myers either way she gets the RBI asking that not so everyone trade spots and it’ll bring up Emily Dickinson third ER should that one’s fouled off so now 0 and two on Emily Dickinson Spivey trying to rain this inning in it’s got a little out of hand one has come home for marville and they still got the bases loaded no one’s out here that misses upstairs one and two a two2 count as Spivey misses two two popped up out of play we’ll do it again 2 two got her rung up had to wait a minute from the home PL umpire took his time with that there’s one away the right fielder Campell White pitch just called the ball one away with the bases loaded one already in here for marville Campbell White left-handed batter stands in and sends one to left field that’s going to be a base it that’ll score one Station to Station for marville now it’s two to nothing Scott [Applause] coming the left fielder AA whtm Eva whtm stands in she entered the game last game as a defensive replacement and stayed in as that misses outside from Spy Bases Loaded one away now two and0 two- count good hitters count for marville and Whit Meer rolls over that one sends a foul low will have to jog in from right field to hand that ball over [Music] popped up right field Wilson comes in watch it drop in front of her throw to home plate is going to be well late bloop RBI single for Whit Meer and it looks like that’s going to be the end of the line for Taylor spy as she’s all three in the top of the first inning and the bases are still loaded with one away Riley Ford will enter tell you all about her we come back from this short break you’re watching P lion softball on YouTube e so Riley Ford comes in and folks just brought to my attention there is an issue with the live stats they are not working across the entire platform baile 37 yeah was it 37 or 35 no crazy not ex playing on the it’s not M chronic it’s 30 second all right so it seems like we’re all ready to go now in the circle for the Lions number 34 Riley Ford Riley Ford enters right field for the Lions number 37 Bailey Davis a 290 ER 50 and 2/3 Innings pitch 35 strikeouts Bas kin wood now in right field for the Lions is bayy Davis and cin Woodruff first pitch from Ford is a ball okay oh boy we might be in for a long one folks and that misses wide from Ford should be ball one but now 2 Riley takes a step back to collect some dirt on the palm get some friction 2 fouled back two and one two balls and a strike for ready to deal to Woodruff that’s like the third time today it’s hit off the the face of this building beating it up Riley’s got it to a two- two count Scots have already brought home three in the first 22 low it in ball [Applause] three 32 on the ground roller foul 32 coming from Ford popped up high on the infield over as Eisley but calling for his speaks and she makes the grab for out number two in Step Sierra Hudson so the Scots will send all nine to the plate in inning number one high and away for ball one one pitch on the way from Ford [Applause] strike nice for vava to get a glove on it but they will not get the out on that play but they will get the out trying to get the runner at third base so the Lions e leading off the bottom of the first the first baseman Cara Taylor Cara Taylor is going to lead it off for the Lions in the bottom half of the first inning as they look to climb back from a five run deficit early Whitney Carr will be the pitcher right-hander for maraville first pitch to Carro Taylor is called a ball Whitney Carr on the a carries a 3116 erra and 51 Innings pitched 28 strikeouts to 22 walks so Lions might need to be patient up there especially to get some runs back can’t get it back in one swing and it looks like Cara Taylor’s taking that approach to heart as she takes ball number two well outside ball all three as Taylor steadies the bat waits for the 3oh pitch and takes a strike on the Outer [Applause] [Applause] Edge 31 that one’s well struck that’s going to Ricochet off the glove of Woodruff and Escape towards the right side of the field either way it’s a single for Cara Taylor that was just an incredible job by Woodruff to even keep that ball on the infield into the box the back stop Jordan green oh it’s frozen yeah it’s frozen first pitch to Jordan green is a ball low from Carr I’m D I can look on here I just did Taylor at first base Lions looking to make a divot in that five run lead [Applause] right 1 one outside two and one 2-1 pitch on the ground Chomper the shorts stop Myers Myers flips to Woodruff for one and that’s all they’ll get so green will be at first via fielder’s Choice One away as Taylor struck down on the play now the third baseman Caitlyn Isley [Applause] that misses outside one and0 car fires and there is ball two that one was also upstairs the way car car is throwing and the way the home plate umpire is calling things the Lions might not just want to swing the bat and there’s another Chopper to Woodruff woodruff’s going to tag the runner but loses the ball on the relay so everyone’s going to be safe [Applause] tag so she dropped the ball on the tag cuz the contact for that the contact for Te so all hands are safe Isley is at first it’ll be an infield single for isy or she’s going to reach on the error by Woodruff cuz it would have been a fielder’s choice in the Box for the Lions number three Jasmine Lowry okay Lowry in 01 count she’s got two Runners on with one away talked about how Lowry leads the Lions and doubles and she’s also fourth in the CCS inem she strikes this one to right field this Ball’s falling near the line it’s going to fall foul thought for a second it had a chance to drop like a meteor right on the chalk giving a look at right was white he watching I ha 02 outside one and [Applause] two car fires on the ground another chance for wooder if she’s going to take the easy toss over to the shortstop covering Meers they’ll just get one it’s another fielders choice for the Lions so they’ll be on the corners with two away for mattye speaks now the short stop mty speaks L just one hit here in this inning it was an infield single start off by Cara Taylor and she was out on a fielder’s Choice Jordan green is out over on third she was able to maneuver her way over after staying safe on an error from Woodruff and klin Isley grounded into a fielder’s choice a ball and no strikes on Matty speaks though car fires and misses low and in two and0 Lowry at first base Carr taking her time now fires 2 that’s on the ground and an easy flip Meers to Woodruff and the Sid are tired so despite all the funniness and the oddness of that inning a lot of Fiers Choice a lot of ground balls the Lions can’t get anything out of it we go to the top half of the second inning with the Scots leading five to nothing watching Pont Lions softball on YouTube e e one two and three for Riley Ford here in the top of the second inning Brea Williams let off the ball game with a double first pitch from Ford is going to be called ball one one pitch this one’s driven to Center Callaway is under it though and makes the grab sounded good off the bat but got under it a good bit did Williams and there’s one away about the catcher Sarah CS Sarah Co drew a walk against Spivey and her first plate appearance later came around to score Mrs high that one’s hard hit but a foul ball that one’s in the dirt and I think well actually think that hit her yeah it did so C takes one off the foot I would assume that’s the only area could have hit her so she’ll be at first base with one away the first Bas Emily Hill Emily Hill stands in she reached on that catcher interference play came around to score one pitch on the way to for from Ford running to second base is C the throw from Green is just a beat behind C so she’s in it second with a stolen base [Applause] runner in scoring position with one away and a two count on Emily Hill three and0 3 0 finds the Zone 3-1 this one’s hit to Center Callaway’s under it she grabs it C’s Bluffs going to third base but she Retreats quickly back to the bag there’s two away now the short stop Bailey Meyers Bailey Myers has an RBI today single in her last plate appearance that will miss low want to know I heard I thought I heard him call a strike but never raised a fist so one and0 there’s a strike [Music] one and one that came inside luckily it missed the shoe tops of the batter Meyers Ford’s already hit one bat this inning that’s Co she stands out on second base 2-1 pitch on the way from Riley little bit of an excuse me swing there she kind of forced the bat to the ball wasn’t a good swing she was just trying to fight it off it looked like and it’s 2-2 two two pitch this one’s in the air left field vava over and it hangs up long enough for the left fielder to get into the Gap and make the grab so Riley’s able to escape a runner in scoring position we go to the bottom of the second inning Lions looking to get at that lead a trail five to nothing watching Pont lion softball on YouTube e Hannah Centron Hannah Centron is going to lead off [Music] it’ll be 6 seven and eight to do battle with Whitney Carr Lions put two on in the bottom half of the first inning but couldn’t bring anybody around to score the same problem that was bugging them in the first game they just could not find that two- out base hit pitch misses outside so it’s one and0 next one from Carr is going to clip the inside corner so it’ll even up the count a ball and a strike Carr looks to the wrist and fires the 1-1 that one’s off the hands a little looping line drive directly into the glove of Woodruff there’s one away Now Bing the center fielder Hannah Callaway Hannah Callaway stands in Callaway part of the senior Trio for the Lions along with Cara Taylor and Logan Hawkins swing in a Miss swung right on top of that one tried to golf it out to right field de catway she might need a grab the bag get for the pitching wedge if she’s going fishing down there a one offering on the way from Carr that one sent to center field easy swing and easy AB for Callaway she’ll stand on first base she has to get some juice into that Dugout down there so now the Lions have a lot of wheels and a lot of speed standing over there at the first base bag Notting the right fielder Bailey Davis so Kaye Wilson won’t get an AB in this game it’ll be bayy Davis takes her spot in the lineup and her spot in the field she was entered in the first inning during that pitching change with Riley Ford and Spivy there’s a strike fired in by Carr that one stays upstairs ball a strike big swing by bayy Davis and missed it That Swing had some intention behind it Lefty climbs back into the box PA of lefties here at the bottom lineup for the Lions where you have votava waiting in the nine spot onew that one’s out towards left and it will fall for a foul ball not a lot of wind here today not sure if that’s a detriment or what because it it’s a little warm it’s not overly warm as it was a couple days ago but it’s notable one two and caught up and rung up on strikes is bayy Davis there’s two away the the left fielder kenned Vota vaba looking to extend the inning She lays down a bunt but it’s going to be foul waiting on Deck is car Taylor reached on a single the Lions first hit of game number two second one was Hannah Callaway in this inning she stands out on first base looking for a ride home surprised we haven’t seen Callaway in just yet no well there you go Callaway is going to be in it second base with a stolen [Applause] base one of one for vava now with a runner in scoring position she’s laying down a bun it’s going to be foul again a ball and two strikes vava awaits going to drive home that Runner as going to miss inside C had to reach inside nearly behind butavan grabbed that one and look the runner runner on second out in the bottom of the second inning we go to the top half of the third lion still Trail by a bundle it’s five to nothing mville you’re watching ped my lion softball on YouTube e e leading off number 15 pagee Dickson have you at method I’m hoping it SC this one’s off the that sent left heeld foul ball forward back out there for another inning work believe she came on after one out in the first inning so this is her going for her second full but overall one and 2/3 for Riley Paige Dickinson sends one on the ground again yeah we’re getting points just started 02 two strikes on Dickinson and she laces another one she is [Applause] be he’s pretty sure’s one two center field Callaway’s over she makes the grab there’s one away one one count on Campbell White a little scoring update from around the pedmont campus and even away first pitch this one’s on the ground that’s going to shoot up the Middle where speaks is able to make a throw off the back hand he gets her what a play by mattye spaks infield was in she went to her left then made the toss throw that was not a strong throw at all but it had just enough to get cample white by a step oh my all right so two away for Riley Ford here’s Eva Whitmire made a really good diving play in the last half inning first pitch of the sequence is a ball so both lacrosse squads are at Methodist today and the men won over Methodist earlier women’s unfortunately are down early so they’re looking for a comeback here in demoris both men’s and women’s tenant squads finished the ccs conference undefeated in conference play so a big congratulations to them on their senior day as Riley’s falling behind Whit Meer now two balls no strikes next pitch this one’s popped up foul territory and it’ll be out of play and over in lrange the lrange Panthers are up on the lions in baseball five to nothing in the fourth Lions won big there last night uh so they’re going to look for another high-scoring game out of the offense today to try to go and wrap up the series let’s go to a rubber game tomorrow and Miss is away three and one of course those two squads were tied to pick to finish well they were tied first place in the coach’s poll to begin the conference season so obviously those are the two favorites entering tournament play at the end of the year ground ball over to the second base Lowry and the side is retired excellent inning for Riley Ford and excellent play for mattye speaks to get the second out we go to the bottom of the third inning Lions need to answer back with something before it gets a little bit too late they’re down five to nothing we are watching Pont Lions softball on YouTube one two and three do up for the Lions here in the bottom half of the third inning that’s Taylor green and iy off the bottom of the third the first basan Cara Taylor all three of those players reach base in some form in the bottom of the first inning but Myers and Taylor is going to be safe at first we’re determining with the score field singles for Cara Taylor that’ll bring up Jordan green that last inning with Riley Ford the three of three down for marol that’s the first time since the fifth that pedmont pitchers have had a three up three down against the Scots lineup they have had a runner on in at least every single inning since but Riley Ford put an end to that one in the top of the third inning so a runner on 10 pitch to Green is a ball not in time sure if car got leather on that one or not either way it just she got right in front of the that ball so no chance for anybody else to make the play but her so Runners on first and second here’s Jasmine Lowry she reached on a fielders Choice last time up she takes a strike here or excuse me a ball goodness right up the middle it’s off the glove of Carr and she rolls it to Woodruff it’s second for the out oh goodness Carr just saved herself a run that ball was torched right up the middle it deflected off a car’s glove and went to the shortstop Meyers who was able to literally roll the ball into the glove of woodr for out number two and that’s going to be I think we’re going to see if Carr is okay I think that’s what the coach from marville is trying to say he like hey a hit her so they’re going to make sure that she’s okay and give her a couple pitches or ask for a couple pitches last play 164 for the second out coach rville is satisfied with car’s help she’ll step back onto the slab it’s up to mty speaks Lions have been searching for that two out base hit for nine innings had two maybe three three for delivering the ball back to Carr Who’s down 2 versus Matty speaks speaks away speaks watches it inside Clips the corner for strike number [Music] one right field five to one now CL will takes lineup card to the home plate umpire Wonder this might be it for Carr it is Wendy Carr is walking out of the circle waiting on her replacement that’s going to be the end the end of the day for her so I wonder if the ball struck off of her maybe unsettled her or something or the other either way she’s done for the day and marville will turn to number 23 Michaela huk so she’ll get her warm-up pitches going uh Joselyn Mercedes from there that misses low from hosack Hannah Centron in the Box big swing in a Miss from the Lefty from Landa Lakes Florida Lions have Runners on the corners Centron of the fourth inning they Trail by four it’s 5 to one Ford gets the ball back from Green and does the pre- pitch ritual slams the ball in the mid after getting some dirt and Toes the rubber O2 tried to get out to chase upstairs good pitch there good pitch decision it’s one two kin Woodruff popped out her last time up popped up right on the infield she was the first batter that Ford faced [Applause] swinging Now Bing the center fielder Sierra Hudson Sierra Hudson will stand in first pitch of the sequence to her she’s Bunting and green got it shares a 20 to lead off batter at least in the she’s bunting for Riley Ford and the Scots as well a pop up to the catcher a strike out and a well I don’t know what you call that but either way it’s out number three we go to the bottom half of the fourth inning lions look to claw back they got some energy now they Trail 5 to one you’re watching Pont lion softball on YouTube e e Callaway is going to lead us off here was able to reach on a single and steal a base last time she was up but that was was against Whitney Carr new pitcher Michaela hosack for maraville about two it’s a [Music] blue so coach Martin will turn to Megan steinm she has play on the backhand she has one play and it’s Stein me at first base the ball’s dropped you have to call that safe ball was dropped as Hill missed it and now coach Martin’s going to go talk with the Umpire at first are you going to say that she dropped it after the play was made and Coach Martin saying no he she OLED it and now he’s going to have to ask for help it’s a close play the ball was dropped that’s it’s not a question but the question is did she have possession and control the ball long enough for it to be an out should be that’s the question here it should be an infield single for steinm credit the strong throw and there is the safe call so backto back singles for the Lions as I was saying credit the that’s going to be an error on so E3 okay so it’s going to be an E3 against steinm so now back-to-back base runners would be the correct call Credit Meers with a strong throw over there she played that on the back foot and was able to muscle it to Hill but Hill just could not contain the throw so they bring up Kennedy votava with two on and nobody down and if there ever was a time for a sack bunt I think coach Martin would call it now and we’re going to have a change here I think it’s going to be a pinch runner for steinm official for the lines number 15 leas Runners on first and second nobody down oh oack in some trouble and Bava was squaring and gets or takes ball one [Applause] [Music] instead one pitch on the way from hosack there’s the bunt and it’s foul so the bunt sign is Def here comes the 11- one bunt his foul again [Applause] onew pitch foul tipped into the [Music] M Misses outside to Taylor this is pivotal in this ball game this a Ab this’s your best hitter in your best opportunity to score a pair of runs with one away Taylor was squaring a bunt Callaway’s on the run the ball hits her on the shoulder and she’s going to be able to jog home the throw is late and Callaway is fired up so it’s anv [Applause] catch so the double steel work s for the Lions they now Trail by three and the count of one-1 a 1-1 count on Taylor Lions have brought it back to Striking Distance Smith out there on second this one on the ground up the middle base hit Here Comes Smith the throw in from centerfields going to one hop The Catcher And sliding in safely is Taylor at second it is a 53 ball [Applause] [Music] game Cara Taylor three base hits in this ball game that one gives her an RBI and that’ll bring up Jordan green [Music] well late now batting the back stop Jordan green that misses outside to Green one and0 Lions scored one in the third and now two in the fourth so far and they’ve out hit the Scott 7 to5 to this point the Scots have been hit with three errors to a run [Applause] strike drop ball Finds Its way in two and [Applause] one Lions looking for a split he’s still got to overcome two more runs there’s a bunt placed down Perfect by Green throw down to first base she’s out advancing to third no infield has come in a little bit here for the Scotts where the corners are middle infield stays same depth 1 and there’s a strike one and one [Music] H gets the sign fires the 11 one this one out towards right well one-w pitch on the way Eisley drills one to left field Whit Meers over and grabs it near the line and the side is retired so the lions are able to get two they do strand a runner but they’re clawing back we go to the top of the fifth inning Lions Trail by two scores 5 to3 watching Pont lion softball on YouTube e e Sarah Sarah C is going to lead it off against Riley Ford couple of defensive changes and Lowry the new right fielder has to field that one it’s a leadoff single for CS so as I was getting to Lowry has now moved from second base to right field MD chronic has entered the game now at the SEC at second base so she will take spot in the eighth spot in the order Lowry Remains the Same but now they’ve just position [Applause] swapped popped up left field in comes rava out go speaks speaks makes the grab excellent job by mattye speaks to range behind herself into left nice this one corked out towards now the DP Paige Dickinson Co will advance a second one of pitch on the way from Ford pop up right field foul ball Scott these past couple hits they’ve been trying to luck their way on a bloop shot by Co that’s why she’s at second base well she reached on First and she stole but then contains it and overshoots Taylor at first base who still is able to come down with it and apply the T you two and they’ve scored multiple times against well now former pitcher no that’s the same pitcher excuse me I don’t know what in my head was like oh that’s car back out there no it’s still a h [Applause] Shack Lowry 0 for two reached on two fielders choice on the ground off the tricky hop Woodruff can’t handle it that was trouble all the way all right so Lowry I can’t one two on the way on the ground wooder of another shot she’s going to have one play and it’s over at first so it works almost as good as a sacrifice bunt Lowry to Second speaks is put away and that’ll bring up Hannah Centron but it yeah it’s still going to be Hannah Centron I’m adding the DP Hannah Centron there’s a ball to Hannis Tron the guys in the Grange are trying to come back they’re only down by two it’s the same score there as it is here 5 to three they got two on home as Centron swings to the top of that one the third base is Lowry she tucks the left hand on the and she’s e 02 pitch this one hit hard pass the glove of Meyers face is C and that is going to be the end of the day for hosek as the Scots are going to turn to their game one ace Megan auran back in the circle for the Scots number 22 Megan Aran so my lion softball on YouTube Whit me and Caitlyn Woodruff Megan way back in the first she was thrown out trying to get here no no that was Whit Meyers I was reading my apologies that said it was a foul ball or or call that it was a strike so now he’s going to have to ask her help time well that’s discretion call so Campbell White’s going to have to come back to home plate [Applause] justment she was thrown out trying to get the third base in the in in the ik [Applause] out towards right center field that’s going to lay down for a base hit trying to plug the Gap there as Lowry and she’s able to gets it on the backand before it escapes past her it’s just going to be held a strike out [Applause] one out the Outfield Sierra hson towards right that’ll fall in for a base hit Larry will try to trigger it to Second to get the runner there but she’s in there standing that’s Whit Meer out there so a single two outs for Sierra Hudson that’ll bring up Brea Williams at the top of the lineups are going to turn to a pinch Runner it’s number four Williams is one for three having a gesture to the home crowd to his left if it was a bunt or she chopped it 20 from Ford [Applause] strike here and I thought that was coming at us for a second saw out of my peripheral runers in the corners two down 02 for Ford I’ll take a deep breath but she’s all good but the the Scots are able to bring home a run lions were always going to need two more to win but now you got to make it three more it’s a 6 to four ball game as we go to the bottom of the six Lion’s Trail by two watching Pont Lions softball on YouTube and it’s the top of the lineup do up however Megan acrian has stepped into the ball game and as the Lions found out in game number one she is no slouch Taylor swings that first pitch she sees and drives it deep to right field and making an overthe shoulder basket catches white white was cooked on that ball but turned enough in the wind to find herself a couple steps shy of the green wall out there green good contact by Taylor just little bit of bad luck just like in the top half of the inning for the Lions here’s Jordan green strike Mar now one now a play 0 and [Music] two here it comes from AC outside green will watch it past her one and two onew pitch on the way Line Drive foul got a good piece of the barrel on it one two there’s another liner another result of foul ball you don’t expect all the runs here in the bottom of six but you would love at least one to get within one give yourself a Fighting Chance of tying
