I think I've found my groove,'' said Pickard (2-0), who has committed to the University of Pittsburgh. ``I wasn't nervous. I just stayed focused.'' Pickard struck out six and walked four, and her teammates supported her with errorless defense. ``Casey hit her spots and we all worked together really well,'' said catcher Sara Dean, whose two-run, sixth-inning double broke a scoreless tie. ``We just executed well and this team has really good chemistry.'' Top-ranked Hart (5-1) rebounded from Thursday's 4-1 loss to Chaminade. Highland (4-2) didn't help its cause with three errors in the sixth.

But a two-base throwing error by first-baseman Stephanie Sanchez set up Dean's decisive double up the left-field gap. Dean eventually scored the third run on shortstop Natalie Rawson's misplayed grounder. Nichole Rawson gave up three runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk and three strikeouts. It was the first time she had given up more than two hits in five starts. ``This happens. I don't know Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade."

Defending Golden League champion Highland is waiting for its bats to come alive. The Bulldogs, surviving on Rawson's pitching and what had been dependable defense, haven't totaled more than four hits in a game. ``We just didn't play smart,'' Highland coach Glenda Potts said. ``Nichole pitched great. We just didn't score runs for her. And when we did hit the ball hard, it was right at people.'' |
