Box Score 2 LOUISVILLE, KY. --
Spalding – 13 Principia – 3
Principia hadn't been able to play a game for two weeks due to wet fields and snow and with today's first game of a double header the team looked like they hadn't played for a while. The team looked out of sync and a little rusty. When you are playing a team as good as Spalding (ranked #2 in SLIAC) you can't afford to not have you're 'A' game with you. Too many errors led to two big innings for Spalding and that was the game as it ended after 5 innings.
Thanda Kyaw and
Jocelyn Shoemake each had a hit and
Kelsey Whitney had a double, an RBI and scored a run. She also played well behind the plate in this game picking off two runners.
Spalding – 9 Principia – 4
What a difference from game one of this double header. Principia came out strong and scored two in the top of the 1
st inning and it could have been more but a base running error proved costly. There was a little more fire in the team for game two and they went toe to toe with Spalding right through 5 innings. Several errors, mental and physical in the 6
th inning led to Spalding scoring 4 runs to pull away. The errors were the difference as the teams played a very closely contested match otherwise. Just goes to show what this team can do when they avoid errors.
Christine Nacewicz got a hit, scored 2 runs and her hit was a triple.
Jocelyn Shoemake got another hit in this game and
Kelsey Whitney continued her power surge with a triple and 3 RBI's.
Thanda Kyaw was 2 for 4 with a run scored and an RBI. The team continued to put the ball in play as they only recorded 4 strike outs in the game.
