LMBA Day Game was a Hit!
With lots of family and friends out cheering on the girls, the U13 team did not disappoint!

Drayton-Moorefield U13's joined us for our fun LMBA day in the park.  Starting the game off Brynnlie took the mound backed by here stellar back catch Maddy and the rest of her fabulous team mates! Brynnlie started off strong striking out the first two batters looking.  Although a couple hits did secure a couple runs for Drayton-Moorefield, Zayden scooped up a hit ball and threw to Lucy on first to put out the 3rd.  Bottom of the 1st, with Sadie starting us off on first, Maddy, Isabel and Brynnlie hit solid singles while Alexis followed suit connecting for a great double! Zoey also hit a strong single scoring in the 5th and max runs available per inning.  Top of the 2nd, D-M did manage to bring in 1 run before Brynnlie struck 3 batters out.  in the Bottom of 2, our bats fired up again with Zayden starting us out on base, Sadie, Isabel, Brynnlie, Ariana & Lucy all hit good singles and Maddy secured a solid double! Once again the girls batted their max 5 runs around home.

Ariana took the mound to start things off in the third.  Although the first batter made her way around home, the team quickly shut them down in just 4 batters.  Ariana struck out one batter while Lucy fielded a ball and passed it back to Maddy covering first and then Ariana fielded the next and tossed them out on first. Great inning!  Bottom of the 3rd inning, Zoey, Zayden, Hayley (our call down for the game), Sadie and Maddy all made it home to score the next 5 max runs!  

Zoey made her way to the mound to start things off in the 4th.  She too did really well!  The opposition, took a liking to Zoey's skills, and began to connect with some balls, but Listowel did not slow down.  Maddy quickly threw down to Alexis on 3rd base for a successful throw & tag out, catching the stealing runner.  Then Zoey managed to strike the next out, and Lucy tracked and caught a foul fly ball for the third out!  In the bottom of the 4th D-M tightened up their defenses and only Lucy made it on base connecting for a big double!  Hayley managed to hit her home.

Top of the 5th was the start of our open inning, and Ariana took the mound again.  Listowel defense was strong.  With a runner stealing home on a passed pitch, maddy raced to retrieve the ball and slid back in time to tag out the incoming sliding runner!  Isabella also picked up a fielded ball and tagged a runner at 3rd out and Ariana, struck the third batter out! Drayton allowed us to finish our inning and did a great job with defence.  Isabel hit another single and her and Alexis made it home before they shut us down.  What a big finish 18-8 for Listowel on their fun LMBA Day!  Every single player contributed with plays and bats!  They next face Arthur on Monday Night.
