Lady Lions Take a Win from
Highland Park
March 20, 2008
Overtaking a
healthy Highland Park lead, the Lady Lions softball team
turned a blustery Monday afternoon into their personal
parade of rain in a 15-14 win at home.
While some
thought the game was all but over as the Scots led 14-2 at
the beginning of the seventh inning, Joanna Rico knew
better. Rico stepped up to the plate and led off a
winning rally with a single to left field and then
stealing second. Rico stood on second with the
opportunity to score and the runs just kept following her
home as the Lady Lions finished off the Scots in Lion
Pride fashion.
It was the first
district win for Greenville with eight of the nine Lady
Lions getting in the hit column for the team. The
stats tell the story for the team. Amber Moore got 3
for 4 with two RBIs and a run. Marci Webb, Hayle
Ellis and Samantha Sepeda also got two hits for the Lady
Lions. Webb scored three runs and drove in two runs
and Ellis did her share by bringing in two runs.
Amber Leonard,
Contessa Lake and Rico had a hit each.
The record for
district is 1-3 for the Lady Lions and 0-4 for the
Highland Park Scots.
Weather
permitting the Lady Lions will have more action during
Spring Break.
