Let's see if she can put one into the outfield. And she does exactly that. Laces one down the left field line. Kriegsman with the RBI stand-up double. That's the kind of hitting we want to see out of the senior. Really proud of her. She stepped up and she has a big RBI double here in the bottom of the third. Rebecca Kriegsman, great shot to left. Absolutely. Just a clutch swing there. Smacked it with authority down the left field line. Easy double. Scores the run. Clockers up four to two. Yeah, this is this is a big inning right now for the Clockers, putting three on the board with another kid who can really hit the ball when she makes contact on it. Taylor Kotch has been hitting the ball really hard. Just has been bad luck right now. She's just hitting it right at people. And yesterday, she hit a hot shot.
>> They go 463 for the out. the outs. We go to the bottom of the fifth. It's tied at two. All you're doing around So McFarland will come on for his fifth inning of work. >> Top of the lineup here. One, two, three for the Ashlin Clockers looking to take advantage of that double play from ending of the last inning. >> Farland has yet to strike anyone out. [snorts] They'll >> face Laro, Bradica, and Shriber. Olly Laro 0 for one. He has walked and scored in this one. We are all knotted up here >> as we reach the later innings in this one. First pitch that hit him [screaming] >> right off his back and Olly Laro has been hit for the seventh time this season. >> Chris Bradica steps to the plate looking to take advantage of that hit by pitch >> and he'll take ball one.
32 clockers. It'll get Valdez, >> Johansson, and Kulie the three to face him here. >> Is 0 for two so far this afternoon. playing out in center field. >> Brao with a very strong performance so far. >> He's only had 68 pitches, too. >> It is the first one to Valdez and it's popped straight up. Who wants it? Posa calls for it and he can't make the catch. >> Those catch-ups or those popups to the catcher often tough to get. >> Yeah. So Valdez locks out. >> Nothing in one count. >> Here's the 01. >> Just missed. >> One and one. Another close one. Yeah, I think the umpire has as many close calls as Chris Bra has stepped off off of the >> Valdez will pop it up this time in play. Shrivever wants it. Shielding himself from the sun. He makes the catch and a quick out number one here for Bratica.
And she used her speed to beat out the pitch beat out the throw. But unfortunately, the umpire was umpiring the score and not the game. And they robbed Taylor of a hot hit yesterday. Let's see what she can do right now. And she high fly to right field. She camps underneath it. Gets the sun out of her eyes and a fly out to end the inning by Kotch to the right fielder. But some serious damage was done as the Clockers bring in three runs off of four hits. And they left one runner on. And there was definitely one really costly costly error there by the Titans, which turned Kyra's single into a home run. Well, into a into a run we should call it because it was not a home run. But nonetheless, the Clockers now are up four to two. Yep. Top of the fourth.
Bradic's 0 for two. >> He's flown out and grounded out. >> But a runner on first. Laro's going. No, he is not. [laughter] >> He faked it there as Bradica took a strike. So, it's one and one. >> One ball, one strike. That's upstairs. Two and one. >> Two and one. Three and one. >> Laro is trying to bluff a steal over there at first base. Trying to get in the head with a pitcher and catcher. Well, it sure seems like he's doing it right now. >> 3-1, ball four. >> The first two have reached for Ashlin here. A hit by pitch and a walk. >> Good spot for Michael Shriber who steps up to the plate. >> Shriber's one for two. He's hit an RBI double and scored. >> Laro at second. Bratica at first. >> First pitch to Striber upstairs. A big chance for the Clockers to take the lead once again after letting Whan tie it last inning.
>> Yeah, those popups in the sun are tough to get. So, great job by Shriber. Mikey Johansson bats next and he'll pop it up into center. McCoy will shield his his eyes from the sun and he drops it off his glove. They're sending the runner to second and he slides in safely. >> It is bright out this afternoon and McCoy just couldn't see it even with the glasses. So, an error there out in center. It's unfortunate. Instead of two quick outs, you got a runner in scoring position here. That's the tying run >> as Logan Culie or sorry, Lucas Kulie will bat next. He's one for two. Here's the first pitch from Bradica. That one's fouled off of Posal Aqua. He's in some pain back there. Catchers have a really tough job in baseball trying to, you know, keep the pitcher going and also, you know, getting those tough hits back to the catcher once in a while.
Looks like we may have a new pitcher here, Mike. Number 20. No, that is Bella. Oh, it is? That That is Bella Destico. Still number 20. >> Okay. Um I don't know. What I saw it looked different, but My apologies to Bella, to our audience. That is Bella. And and and they are going to be bringing up five, six, seven here. Maeve Walker will lead off followed by Chelsea Saints and Annika Macchella. Bella wants to settle down a little bit after an inning where she let up two runs off of three hits. Let's see if she can get back into a groove here. Um And while she's waiting, I'm going to give a quick shout-out to one of Ashlyn Clocker's biggest fans. I know that she's watching at her home in Wilmington cuz she couldn't be here today to watch her niece play. My sister, Angela, who is such a huge Clocker fan.
Here's the one to Shriber. That's a strike. One and one. >> Good pitch by McFarland there. >> One ball, one strike. Swing and a miss. Shriber was late. So ball and two strikes again. McFarland has not struck out anyone yet. >> This Ashland lineup, but ahead here, one and two on Shriber. >> McFarland steps off the pitch of Mount Conry on deck. One, two. Ground ball to third. Oh, it's off the glove. He throws to second. Not in time. >> The third baseman Breler had trouble with the ground ball and tried to get the out at second, but Bradica got in there. >> Big spot for Finn Conry who steps up to play. >> Bases are loaded. Connor's one for two with an RBI single. The Ashland bench gets on their feet >> infield in here. >> Nowhere to put Connory. >> Hit could give them the lead.
>> Yeah, he seems like he's going to be okay. And >> it looks like he'll shake it off. >> He gets a round of applause. >> There's nothing in one count to Culie. I think I just heard the batter say I'm sorry to Pasa Aqua. >> Something you don't see in baseball every day. >> Some good sportsmanship there. >> So nothing in one from Bradica to That one's low and away. >> So, one ball, one strike. >> Bra calls time. >> Here's the pitch. That's upstairs. >> Two balls in a strike here. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Pick up a headphone or something. >> Oh, I You know what? I'm not hearing anything out of this. I could not get audio. >> Two and one. Ground ball to third. Charged there by Connor. throw gets by Laro. Whan's going to tie it up as the ball gets out of play.
Hope you're having a good day. Hope you're feeling okay back home. Pitch strike one to Maeve Walker. And Destico is up one and one. I'm sure she was cheering like a maniac watching her niece round the bases on that hit to right. And Bella goes up oh two to Maeve Walker. She got her to pop up to herself in the second inning. Yeah, wastes one low. One and two. Yeah, you took the words out of my mouth, Josh. It's a good miss, right? Good one to waste. She puts one low. See if she can get her to chase at a bad pitch. Never want to give up an oh two hit. Absolutely. And let's see what she does right now. I think she's going to go right by her for strike three. Gets the fastball. No messing around that time. Around the horn, the Clockers go.
That's a ball. McFarland at 78 pitches here in the fifth. >> 10. That's a strike. Off speed drops in there. Big big at bat here as McFarland will step off. >> 1-1. >> That's upstairs and it's two and one. Then Connory with a great job of keeping the bat back. >> Three balls and one strike. Jake Lame lurks on deck. A walk would force home the go-ahead run. Three balls, one strike. He pumps it in there and the count is full. It's a big pitch here for McFarland. >> Three balls, two strikes. Here comes fly ball into right heading back and Danny makes the catch. Here comes Laro. He will tag and score and Ashland takes the lead right back. It's three to two. >> That's about the best hit you could ask for there by Finn. Jake Lameé digs in, takes a strike. Mazo for two.
It's three to three. We can >> hear a second. So the game is tied on an errant throw from third. Second error of the inning. >> Won't be an earn run for Bradica and gets down to second for Cooper McFarland who takes a strike. >> Good breaking ball by Chris again. Nothing in one. >> That's a rocket to second. Oh, what a scoop there by Clark. And the throw to first is in time. >> Brady with two good plays so far. Down to third goes >> But there is two outs here. And Owen Harrington will dig in. >> Put pinch runner here for for Horn. They'll take out Horn and they'll bring in the pinch runner. >> Do you think that's true? >> Owen Kawahada is the pincher runner. Nothing and one from Bradica. Here it comes. That's upstairs. >> So, a hit could give Whan the lead.
Tick tock goes the clock. One down in the fourth bringing up Chelsea Saints, the second baseman for the Algonquin Titans. It's a strong start to the inning for Bella. Her third strikeout of the afternoon. >> [snorts] >> Saints got hit by a pitch in her first at bat. So, we're not quite sure what kind of hitter she is. But she fouls that first one back on a pretty solid swing. Bella's doing her job. She's got a lead. She's throwing strikes. And that is typically what she does, Josh. An efficient efficient pitcher. Hits spots. The The one game where she struggled this year was against one of the top teams in the entire state of Massachusetts. And this is a high fly to Rebecca Kriegsman. Snow cone catch by the senior left fielder. She makes the play, makes it interesting, but makes the play nonetheless on the fly out to Kriegsman.
Bradica and Shriber did not tag on that fly ball. So they remain at first and second. Here's the 01. That's just outside and it's one and one. You'd love to get more than one run here to have a little bit of a cushion >> for Bradica. >> 1-1. That's a shot into center. Valdez goes back and he makes the catch. A really nice running grab by Valdez in center >> and it's two away. So two on and two out for Ian McCoy. 0 for two this afternoon. >> First pitch is fouled back. Most likely the last inning we see a McFarland >> up to 87 pitches here. So he's pitched quite a bit. That's low >> and continuing to um struggle a little bit with his pitching. >> It's a 1-1 count here to McCoy. drops in a strike. Good off speed and it's one and two.
>> They have not led at all today. That's upstairs. Two and one. Ratica has thrown 81 pitches >> behind the count. Two and one to Harrington. Here it comes. Three and one. He's missing the zone here. >> Struggling to command. Three and one. Come on. >> Three balls, one strike. Foul tipped into the mitt. The count is full. >> Brad Cub will take definitely take that for sure. >> Three balls, two strikes, two outs. That's popped up, out of play. >> All the way on to the football field. Three balls, two strikes again. >> That's strike three. Harrington can't believe it. Another questionable call, but it goes the clocker's way and retires the side, but Whan ties it up again. It's three to three as we go to the bottom of the sixth. Well, you don't have to That's how you do it with camera like a DSLR soak.
Yeah, like we have the headsets on, so I don't know if she was calling for it or not, but that's the kind of play the outfielder has to take charge. That's a much easier play coming in for the outfielder than the infielder going out. >> With two outs in the top of the fourth, that brings up Annika Macherla, the first baseman, who grounded out to Butera men in the second. What I was saying earlier about Domenico is the only game she struggled was against the Hopkinton Hillers, who are, you know, a top 20 team in the state. >> Mhm. Who who certainly hit her pretty hard, but one thing I felt like in that game Bella was forced to put the ball over the middle of the plate. She wasn't getting Was she getting squeezed? >> any calls. She was squeezed. Yeah, the umpire's strike zone was tighter than Matt Foley's jacket that day.
>> Coin has to protect here. One and two. They throw back to second, but the throw is a little wide. Bradica's back in there. That's outside. >> Two and two. >> Mark Mermolstein would be next. >> Ian looking to come through. Two-2 >> ball three. The count is full. See if they send the runners here with two outs and a full count. >> Oh, they're going to throw back to second and Brad's back in there. Close one. >> So, McFarland kind of finally like taking the runners out. Bradic has done it all game. 3-2 runners go. That's ball four. >> Awfully close ball four there. The bases are reloaded here. Mark Merkelstein will dig in. >> That's yet another close call. >> Stein is one for two with a single. Bradica at third, Shriber at second, McCoy at first. Two outs. First pitch [snorts] >> is ball one.
Don't do that. Ray Clark steps up to the plate and it looks like it'll be 8 N and one this to start out the inning. >> And McFarland will continue on the mound. First pitch to Clark and is a popup straight back and it's just off the glove of the catcher Johansson. Just missed it. >> Feel like this is kind of a questionable move by Whan to keep McFarland in, but we'll see how it pans out. >> Yeah, he's already at believe 90 pitches. 01 to Clark. Swinging a miss. >> Chasing there. >> 98 pitches he has thrown into the sixth. Head nothing at two. That's a shot there by Clark into center and it gets down. Clark will hold up at first. Good attempt out in center by Valdez. But Clark has a 28 afternoon. >> Another long single by the Clockers. >> They'll take those.
And and and Bella couldn't take advantage of it, and the Hillers did. So, I'm hoping that when we get our second shot at Hopkinton later in the season, we have an umpire that understands that the back of the plate is indeed a strike. Um so, she is seeing Macherla here, one and one count, another foul ball. And she goes ahead one and two. Can I just want to compliment you on the Tommy Boy reference there? Nice work. >> Well, that would have been Tommy Callahan. Matt Foley is the motivational speaker from the Saturday Night Live days. Did you get Did you get Did you get Did you get my man Chris Farley? >> That's all right, Josh. Not everybody is a Chris Farley connoisseur like myself. >> jacket, and I thought of Tommy Boy. I thought of seeing Tommy Boy. You know, the fact I wore a little coat, and she gets her with a beautiful change up.
[screaming] >> Here's the 10 swing and a miss as a high fast ball gets by >> Mermlstein. Here we go. Here we go. >> 3-2. Ashland has the lead. >> Here's the 1-1 >> at strike two. Drops in the off speed. And now Mermcy needs to protect here with two strikes. >> One ball, two strikes. Swing and a miss. McFarland's first strike out of the afternoon leaves the bases loaded in the fifth. We head to the sixth, but Ashlin regains the lead. top of the sixth inning and Bradica will come out for another inning of work. Two runs through five innings, four strikeouts for Bradica. >> And he does have the lead here. 32 clockers. >> It'll get Valdez, >> Johansson, and Kulie the three to face him here. Valdez is 0 for two so far this afternoon. >> Playing out in center field. >> Brao with a very strong performance so far.
