Wednesday Cuernavaca - Week 7 Highlights

Hose Draggers vs. Dice: Lacey Moore set the defensive tone for Dice in the top of the first inning when she tipped a hard kicked line drive straight up, secured the catch and ended the inning. Dice carried this momentum into the bottom of the first inning where they plated an incredible 6 runs. Ashley Feller was responsible for one of those RBI's when she laid a bunt single down. Hose Draggers got their only run in the top of the second inning by playing some solid small ball. But in typical Dice fashion, they answered back - this time, scoring their 3 final runs of the game in the bottom of the second inning. From then on, both teams showcased some really good defense. Dice's Lisa Fitzbeck had a fantastic diving catch, in the dark, to end the game.  Dice wins, 9-1.

Punani Patrol vs. Step Parents: This was a really close game. Punani got on the board first with 2 runs in the top of the first inning. Punani's Nathan "Noodles" Newell kicked in one of those runs with a well placed single. Punani extended their lead to 3-0 by scoring their last run of the game in the top of the third inning. Punani got some great pitching from Russell Thesing to keep Step Parents off the board for most of this game. Step Parents put together a valiant effort in the bottom of the seventh inning with almost zero daylight remaining. They were able to get one run and bring the tying run to the plate. But, Punani practically turned into werewolves and got some crazy D from the right side of their infield. Their first baseman some how tipped a hard kicked line drive just enough so that the second base gal could secure a diving catch. What a great ending! Punani Patrol wins, 3-1.
