>> Okay. >> Oh, that one was way upstairs. Turn Cliff tried to show Bun. Not close. and Clark will take 90 ft and head to second. Again, a little questionable here with McFarland now at 100 pitches. >> Here comes the one out. Time called. One out. Turniff will show the bunt. He'll lay it down back to the mound. Clark will get to third. McFarland's throw to first is in time, but a good sacrifice bunt from Turnliffe. And Clark is at third with one away. >> Ali Leo steps up to the plate. Coach Messer preaches the ability to bunt. And a good job by Turnliff there. >> They only need one run. >> Laro will take a strike. Wow. Laro could not believe it. Neither could coach Messer. >> A lot of that. >> That looked like it was down the dirt. >> It did. It hit the dirt.
Gets her swinging on a wonderful change. And that's the same pitch that Ava Vendetti took to center field. A different piece of hitting right there. And instead, Domenico gets Macherla to reach and miss. We have two strikeouts on the inning for Bella D. And uh the Titans go down scoreless with no runs on no hits and nobody left on base. Another clean defensive inning for >> [cheering] >> the Clockers. Yeah, Titans go down one, two, three. Clockers coming to the plate looking to build on a 4-2 lead. We head to the bottom of the fourth. >> And much to Emily Ruiz's dismay, she is going to be looking at the hot-hitting lead-off hitter for the Clockers, who is now probably up over 700 with her average. She came in at a 630, and she's two for two on the day with a single and a double, Nico Eustaris.
>> 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 catchups or those pop-ups to the catch are often tough to get. >> Yeah. >> So Valdez lucks out >> nothing in one count. Here comes the one out. >> Time called >> one out. Turn. Cliff will show the bunt. He'll lay it down back to the mound. Clark will get to third. McFarland's throw to first is in time. But a good sacrifice bun from Turnliffe and Clark is at third with one away. >> Ali Leo steps up to the plate. >> Coach Messer preaches the ability to bunt and a good job by Turniff there. >> They only need one run. >> Laro will take a strike. Wow. Laro could not believe it.
Laro is walked and he's also been hit by a pitch again. 0 and one infield in here and Laro will pop it up into left. They settle it and make the catch. Here comes Clark. He's coming to the plate. The throw not in time. >> The ball came loose >> and Clark gets in there. Mikey, >> a great slide from Clark. >> Wow. >> About as exciting a sack fly can get there. >> Yeah. And it looked like if the ball was held on to, it could have been out and out there, >> but the slide forced the ball loose. So, two outs and bases empty for Brad, who takes ball one. >> So, now Ashland will have a chance to close it out in the seventh. >> That's a ball. Two and out. Two balls, no strike. Sabratica. That's a strike. Another another high pitch called for a strike there.
Should be an exciting start to this to the bottom of the fourth there, Mike. And you know, one thing I want to mention, you know, that that Rebecca Kriegsman hit that drove in that final run of the third. The the number eight hitter to be able to to put you know, put the ball in play, get on base, bring up the number nine hitter that of course eventually does turn into the end of the inning. We got the top of the order coming up here in the fourth. >> Huge. Always try to turn that order in, right? >> Exactly. >> And and we have seen some really clutch hits this year by the bottom of the order. Specifically in their game against Holliston, the bottom of the order came through in in droves. And and they really were the reason the Clockers won that game.
>> Neither could coach Messer a lot of that. >> That looked like it was down the dirt. >> It did. It hit the dirt. Laro's walked and he's also been hit by a pitch again. 0 and one infield in here. And Laro will pop it up into lefts. They [snorts] settle it and make the catch. Here comes Clark. He's coming to the plate. The throw [screaming] not in time. The ball came loose and Clark gets in there. Wow. >> About as exciting a sack fly can get there. >> Yeah. >> And it looked like if the ball was held on to it, could have been out an out there, but the slide forced the ball loose. >> So, two outs and bases empty for Brad. Takes ball one. So now Ashland will have a chance to close it out in the seventh. >> That's a ball.
Seen quite a few of them this afternoon. It's been hard to locate the zone that this umpire uses. It's been all over the place. As Bratica smokes it, just foul >> and the count is two and two. The umpire seems to kind of give pitchers and give pitchers a strike every now and then. Seems >> awfully generous. So, two balls and two strikes to Bratica. He'll ground that one foul and we'll do it again. >> Bradica again with the couple foul balls trying to keep on keep fighting. in that his at bats. >> 109th pitch is a line drive into left. It'll drop for a base hit. Chris Bratica continues to hit and he's on base >> for Michael Shriber. >> Shriber's one for three with that RBI double. This is going to be the hundth 10th pitch for McFarland. >> That's a strike. >> Nothing and one here.
The The top the two, three, four, five hitters did not get a hit in that game. And the bottom of the order took care of business. >> Wow. So, they've won in a few different ways so far this year, Josh. Yeah, that's what we're seeing here today. I mean, it's it's just it's a balanced lineup one through nine. Eustaris takes the first pitch outside to get ahead 1-0. Really want to get her on base here. Again, one thing I said about Nico, a walk becomes a double with Eustaris at the plate because she is an automatic steal. Uh don't think anybody in this league is going to be throwing her out at besides maybe Caroline Osmond of Hopkinton. She puts one just foul down the left field line. Yeah, she's a little in front of that one. The The The thing about Nico is if Nico can put the ball on a line into the outfield, it's it's almost invariably an inside-the-park home run here with no with no fence because of her speed.
Two and0. >> Two balls, no strike. Sabratica. That's a strike. Another another high pitch called for a strike there. I've seen quite a few of them this afternoon. It's been hard to locate the zone that this umpire uses. It's been all over the place as Bratica smokes it. Just foul >> and the count is two and two. >> The umpire seems to kind of give pitchers and give pitchers a strike every now and then. Seems >> awfully generous. So, two balls and two strikes [snorts] >> to Bratica. He'll ground that one foul and we'll do it again. >> Bradica again with the couple foul balls trying to keep on keep fighting in the his at bats. >> 109th pitch is a line drive into left. It'll drop for a base hit. Chris Bradica continues to hit and he's on base >> for Michael Shriber. >> You got this one, Mikey.
Oh, a rocket down the line. And it's nothing and two. He was out in front. line drive into center field. It'll hang up there for Valdez who makes the catch to retire and end the inning. We go to the last inning, the seventh. 43 Ashland. Is it oil? Michael Shriber. He'll come on for the save. Making his fifth appearance. He's 0 and1 with a 233 RA, but he does already have one save on the season. And he'll look for another one here. He struck out seven batters in six innings of work. Only walked one. This is a big big opportunity here. Chance for the Clockers to get to five and three on the year. >> So at the bottom of the lineup, Nico Durantian will lead it off. >> One for one. He's walked and scored. Here's the first pitch inside from Shriber. >> One out.
Nico is up now three and one. She's got to love this one, Josh. >> I I don't want her chasing anything here. It's got to be perfect hitter's count. Hitter's count, Mike. >> Just get on base here. Got to love this. And she takes the walk. A good good patient at bat there by Eustaris, understanding the situation, how important it is for her to get on base for Bella, who is one for two on the day with that hot shot down the left field line, and then a groundout to the third baseman. I imagine the third baseman is going to be ready right now for Domenico at the plate. Takes the first one. Down 0-1. Really important inning here for the Clockers to put a few more runs on the board. Yeah, get some breathing room. Another shot. Wow. >> Eustaris beats it out. >> [cheering] >> We're going to give that We're We're going to give her We're going to give her a single.
>> Shriber's one for three with that RBI double. >> This is going to be theundth pitch for McFarland. That's a strike. Nothing and one here. >> Oh, a rocket down the line and it's nothing and two. He was out in front. >> 02 line drive into center field. It'll hang up there for Valdez who makes the catch to retire and end the inning. We go to the last inning, the seventh. 4-3 Ashlin. Unless it Michael Shriber will come on for the save. Making his fifth appearance. He's 0 and1 with a 233 erra, but he does already have one save on the season. And he'll look for another one here. He struck out seven batters in six innings of work and only walked one. This is a big big opportunity here. Chance for the Clockers to get to five and three on the year. So >> at the bottom of the lineup, Nico Durantian will lead it off.
is a strike. >> It'll be Dannian Horn and then the top >> 1-1 at a strike. A little off speed there. Strive ahead. One and two. >> Great VO from Strive. >> Here comes. That's a popup pass second. Oh, it drops. McCoy couldn't see it. That's the second time he's had trouble with the sun this afternoon. And that's a gift for Whan. The leadoff man reaches as coach Messer wants time. It looks like they're going to bring out Grumbum. So that's another error for the Clockers. Their fourth error of the game and they still have the lead. So Grumbum will take over at second base for McCoy. Tying run at first with nobody out. Here comes Noah Horn to the plate. He's one for two. Did strike out once against Bradica. >> First pitch, runner goes. That's a strike and Pasalqua has no throw. Stolen base for Dannian.
I'm not sure what the official score is going to be. Could be a fielder's choice, I suppose. Um but I'm going to give her a single because I like Bella a lot. And Nico really made that play because of her speed. They realized they couldn't get her at second base, and the next thing you know, hustling down the line by Domenico, no play at first. With a different set of runners, that could have been a 6-4-3 double play. Instead, it's first and second, nobody out. With Ava Vendetti to the plate, who I have told you earlier is an RBI machine. Vendetti has reached base twice today on an error by the shortstop and a single in the third. And she puts one back to short again. They're able to reach via the fielder's choice, but but nevertheless, uh Eustaris gets out 6-3. Allie Wilson, it looks like, is in running for Bella Domenico.
>> One for one. He's walked and scored. Here's the first pitch inside from Shriber. >> One out. It's a strike. It'll be Dannian Horn and then the top 1-1 at strike. A little off speed there. Strive ahead. One and two. >> Great VLOO from Strive. Here comes. That's a popup pass second. Oh, it drops. McCoy couldn't see it. That's the second time he's had trouble with the sun this afternoon. And that's a gift for Whan. The leadoff man reaches as coach Messer wants time. It looks like they're going to bring out Grumbum. So that's another error for the Clockers. Their fourth error of the game and they still have the lead. >> So Grumb will take over at second base for McCoy. Tying run at first with nobody out. >> Here comes Noah Horn to the plate. He's one for two. Did strike out once against Bradica.
>> Batter showed bunt there, but >> now the tying run in scoring position. >> Nothing and one and Shriber will step off. top of the lineup next >> and Horn wanted time there. Messer thinks that one was late. Nothing in one here to the nine hitter. That's low and it's one and one. >> One ball, one strike from Shriber to Horn. >> That one's in the dirt. Runners going to head for third. Posalqua's throw is offline and late and the tying run is 90 ft away with nobody out. Big spot for the Warriors here. Looking to maybe tie up the game, get a few runs here. >> So, two and one. Show bunt. Oh, high called strike. It's two and two. This would be big to get a strike out here. Infield in for Ashland trying to prevent that tying run from scoring. 2-2. Ground ball to third.
Caroline Kyra comes to the plate. Oh, Kyra absolutely laces one over the center fielder's head. That should knock in two. Kyra going to leg a triple. This is a real one. >> [cheering] >> So, we'll give her a triple. Caroline Kyra with a blast triple over the center fielder's head, knocks in two runs. A two RBI triple for the big slugger. And that brings up Haley Butera men with Kyra on third base and one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's a big hit, Mike. Really big. That's a huge hit for her. And let's see if Haley Haley shows bunt again. Oh, that hit her twice. She should be out. Haley should absolutely be out because the ball hit her twice. I don't know if the umpire saw that. I did. Sh- She was out regardless. So, I believe the the pitcher made that play.
First pitch runner goes. That's a strike and Pasawaka has no throw. >> Stolen base for Dannian. batter showed bunt there. But >> now the tying run in scoring position. >> Nothing and one and Shriber will step off. >> Top of the lineup. Next and Horn wanted time there. Messer thinks that one was late. Nothing in one here to the nine hitter. That's low and it's one and one. One ball, one strike from Shriber to Horn. >> That one's in the dirt. Runner's going to head for third. Posalqua's throw is offline and late. And the tying run is 90 ft away with nobody out. >> Big spot for the Warriors here. looking to maybe tie up the game, get a few runs here. >> So, two and one. They show bunt. Oh, high called strike. It's two and two. This will be big to get a strike out here.
Nice play there by Clark. The throw to first is in time. And the runner at third has to hold up. Shriber gets out number one. A nice play to keep it in front there by Clark. >> But now the top of the lineup. Jack Artunian is 0 for two. >> He'll take a strike. >> Infield remains in for the Clockers. >> 01 shot foul. One more. >> Nothing in two. Zahartin. >> And here it comes. Strike three >> on a pitch that hit the dirt. >> It's strike three and there's two down. And the third the head coach for Whan is not happy about that strike three call. Neither was the batter. And there's two away. Line drive into right and the game is tied. Just outside the reach of Grumbum and Breler comes through. A two out single. And it's four- four. >> They're going to pinch run for Breastler.
Uh but that's going to be a 1-4 for Butera men. And we've got two outs now with Kyra on third base and Matty Sanders at the plate, who is 0 for 1. Sanders had a sac bunt in the third and a reached on a fielder's choice in the first inning. Yeah, Matty's swing looked a little long on that last pitch. Just came in behind it. See what she can do. Really need a piece of contact here to get the run in. Don't want to We'd hate to see a runner left on third with with one out. Sanders takes ball one. Good eye by Sanders. Two and one's the count. Again, love to see a third run come across this inning. Clockers had a clutch two-out RBI single last inning. Let's see if they can do it again here. She takes one high. Three and one to Sanders.
