Invented (1888) in Chicago as an indoor game, it was at various times called indoor baseball, mush ball, playground ball, kitten ball, and, because it was also played by women, ladies' state championship game here at 12:30 today. Lynn won the first game of the best-of-three series on Friday. Burkett coach Jim Marshall Jim Marshall is the name of:
"I knew Molly would be the same way," Marshall said. "She's done a great job for us playing outstanding defense and coming through with clutch hitting." Three-time all-star Courtney Fluet picked up the win for defending state champion Burkett. She threw a complete game, allowing six hits and five runs, while striking out four. "Courtney Fluet is a seasoned veteran and she made the pitches when she had to," Marshall said. "I don't know Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade."

Francis scored on a ground out later in the inning to make it 3-0. Lynn responded with a three-run fourth. Picher Katie Cuozzo came up with the big hit, her single to right scoring Jennie Erekson and Kailey Cormier. First baseman Olivia DeJoie scored later in the inning on an error. An inning later, O'Neil approached the plate with no outs and the bases loaded. She displayed the clutch hitting her coach talked about with a two-run single to left, giving Burkett a 5-3 lead. Victoria Viger didn't allow Lynn to go down easily, however, coming through with a two-run single to tie the game in the sixth before Fluet ended with inning by getting consecutive outs. "I think my team performed unbelievably," Lynn coach Paul DeJoie said. "They were down multiple runs twice and they fought until the final inning." Burkett took the lead for good in the bottom half of the sixth. After Julie Marshall singled to open the inning, then advanced to second on a passed ball, Lynn walked two straight batters intentionally. That move backfired when O'Neil drove a pitch into center field to give Burkett the walk-off victory. "Jesse Burkett is a great program and a great team.

"We didn't beat ourselves today; they beat us." "I feel great about (today)," Marshall said. "We're on our home field and the momentum is swinging our way. Look out, we're ready." |
