What a day! What a day!

Sparks flew earlier in the day,  literally, leading to an energized and electric performance for our Lady Chiefs as they knocked off the undfeated Milan Big Reds in a stunning victory 12-2. Coming into the game I think we felt good. We felt we gave them the game at their place with some bone head moves. It was a forced game play round 1 but with the pat two weeks behind us, our chemistry feels anything but that. We have been putting up big numbers against decent plus pitching since we last saw them, and playing higher caliber teams. So even with a just above .500 record, I feel we are playing really good softball overall. And right on time as we headed into such a big game and the last half of our season. 

We started off great shutting down their first set of at bats, Rylie was hitting spots and Sic called a great start against top hitters, keeping them off balance and providing some routing balls in play that we easily fielded. The bottom half of the first we started to roll. Kuzara reached on a ball 4 walk, and Sic delivered a shot through a gap, scoring Kuzara from 1st. Newman stepped up behind her delivering a two strike double, and Robbins exectued a nice bunt single to score Sic. Robbins took second base on a Greggo at bat, and Pender on two strikes had one of her biggest at bats of her high school career delivering a two strike single, scoring Newman and Robbins. Before we knew it we were up 4-0 in the first and sparks just kept flying from there.We got another 1,2,3 second inning out of Milan and put up another 2 runs in the second, making it 6-0 after two innings. Kuzara, who was charged up from her daily events, and was "amped up" ended up hitting a nuke to left field for a solo home run, for an electrifying lead 7-0. (Go grease lightning, go greae lightning). But it was the bottom of the fourth, where the real shock waves were felt, when Ava Ryan with bases loaded came up and hit a grand slam giving us yhe extra Volt of energy to close the door and finish with a 12-2 mercy!

It was a power-driven performance that started at about 10am where we were introduced to the profound impact of ENERGY!!! The team's energy was felt the entire game and it makes for one great memory for multiple reasons. So proud of these kids today....one for the books that well smile at for quite some time.
