It's a foul ball. Just foul. Couldn't see the line there, but it looked awfully close. >> Yeah, that was awful close. Holly did a great job to get over there before it had a chance to bounce fair because that was absolutely going to be an infield hit. Uh there's no chance anybody would have had of getting her at first base. Uh but we now have two strikes uh with two outs in the top of the seventh in a one- run game. >> One strike away from win number 14. That one is upstairs as Vendetti goes up and gets it. >> Holly in a big spot here, Jacob. This is This would be a huge boost of confidence for Cash in if she's going to be needed in the playoffs. >> One, two, just missed. And it's got to be perfect for an umpire to call a strike three to end the game.
>> Well, I I he has been he has been a little tough sometimes. I think overall he's been pretty consistent this guy behind the plate today. We really need Holly to throw in fire right now. Might be a nice spot for that change up that that little offspe I guess. or I would agree with you there. And a two- two count. Here it comes. That one's upstairs and the count is full. She did go with the fast ball. So, a walk here would put the tying run at third. >> And even more importantly, it's a three and two count with two walls. Their runners are going to be off on the pitch. They're going to be flying, which means a single is certainly going to tie this game. >> Here comes the 3-2 and it's fouled back. Fought off there by Granada. And on deck is Rafon who had the home run for Westwood.
So you'd love to get this out here. >> And it looks like some rain might be thinking about squirting down on this too. So it's time to get out of this one again. Runners are going to be off on the pitch. >> 3-2 once more. That is upstairs for ball four and Granada will walk. And that will send Walsh to third. She is the tying run and they will have to face Rafon, the home run hitter from earlier. >> Yeah, the seven hitter is two for three today with two RBI's and a Warlock and and she had that huge home run. Uh so this is a big spot for Cashion with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh up one. >> Two outs. First pitch. THAT'S A GROUND BALL BACK TO THE MOUNT. It's fielded by Cashion and the throw to first is in time.
What a play by Holly Cash in to snare it on a hop and the Clockers win a thriller 10 to nine. >> Wow, what a big play by Holly to get that comeback there and she's able to get out of a really potentially big jam uh with the bases loaded in two outs and Cash induces a ground ball back to her. Nice throw over to Kyra to get the final out of the game and and the Cluckers kind of steal this one 10 to nine on a just mega day from Laura Klette. I mean what what a huge performance. The the game changer recap quickly says Laura Colette powers Ashlin varsity clockers past Westwood and that couldn't be any more of a true statement. >> You could use a stronger word than that. I mean, she just carried them through that game. And I mean, you give up 12 walks and that just shows that this offense is something special that you're pitching, you know, can struggle.
Give up was eight hits, nine runs, 12 walks and still come out with a win. It's a huge huge momentum like for the rest of the season. They got one game left and then it's on to the state tournament. >> Yeah. One game left against Grafton tomorrow and then onto the state tournament. And and the bats the bats really carried them today. and and also, you know, big big credit to Nico Ustaris who is in a tough spot. The kid has not been pitching all year long. She's going to come in for a start. Uh Holly pitched the other day. It'll be interesting to see who he decides to go with tomorrow against Grafton in the season finale or the regular season finale. But, you know, credit to Nico for keeping them in the game in offensively. That's what that's how they won today, right?
They had 14 hits um and and some and some clutch hits, too. They were extremely clutch hits. I mean, two home runs from Colette were just absolutely huge and it's just it was a crazy game. I mean, the first softball game I've done and I want to come back. >> All right. Well, that's good. We because we loved having you here and, you know, shout out shout out special shout out to the seniors today. Um, you know, Quinn Herder, Taylor Cotch, Rebecca Cricggsman, just you know, three great leaders who have done a really nice job for this team. And you you got to you got to talk about the game that Quinn Herder had too. An absolutely enormous RBI double. Um one of the best hits of the day for anybody. Probably her best hit of the year. And um you know Rebecca Kriezmann also pitched in two for three.
Uh Nico was two for three. Uh Beerman, Vendetti, Kyra, and Kazadian were all one for four on the day. >> Yeah. And it was it was a team win. You know, eight out of the nine hitters got hits and everyone got on base. So, it was just it was a really good way to, you know, almost finish up your season and uh I don't know who do you think wins the defensive player of the game. I know we were thinking about that. >> Well, I I think that it is an easy choice for the for the uh King Kong offensive player of the game. So, that is certainly going to be Laura like Colette. He's thinking about uh defensively here. Uh, you know, Nico, I I think that your your candidates are are probably um Kyra, who had made a great scoop on that uh tough ground ball to get out of the inning once.
Uh she did catch a couple pop flies uh in foul territory. And then Nico, who just made a a boatload of plays uh at the at the pitcher circle, helping herself out, and then she just made that big play over there at shortstop. So, I'm going to let you be the final judge on that, but I think unless you have another candidate, I think those probably are the first two. >> I mean, if there was a tie, I I I'd have to go with a tie. But I I think I'll go with Nico. I think, you know, being a pitcher, you already have the stress of having to go out there and you're the one who, you know, you're facing this team pretty much by yourself until the ball is put in play. And, you know, having to field as well and like in addition to having to to pitch is a tough thing to do.
And then you come out of the game and you're immediately put at shortstop and shortstop, you know, balls are hit there a lot and she made every play that came to her. >> Yeah, I think that's the I think that's the right choice. I Nico just had a a tremendous game defensively. She fielded her position so well. Uh and again, you know, one of the keys too for this team, we talked about right limiting mistakes. They only made one error in the day. Uh walks hurt them, but only only one error in the day. And um that certainly led to the victory for for the Clockers. And um they're heading into postseason play with a minimum of 14 wins, which is nice. They're going to be going for number 15 tomorrow against Grafton. >> And that is just an incredible season compared to where they've been, you know, since what 2011.
Haven't made the state tournament since. And a chance to go 15 and five. An extremely respectable record. And other teams are going to take notice of this offense and how good they've been. and if the pitching, you know, hopefully Bella Domestico, you know, might see her in the postseason. We'll we'll see how that goes. It'd be huge to get her back. Obviously, I haven't seen her, but I've I've seen the stats and they don't lie. So, it it's definitely a big >> big chance coming up for these blockers. >> It sure is. And it'll be great to get Bella back, but if if they don't, it's it's it's, you know, an opportunity for Holly and Nico to continue to step up. But I think it's time for us to to get going here. Jacob, I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be able to have done this with you today.
I really enjoyed you've been I I like the other guys I've worked with, but you have been my favorite partner that I have had. What a what a joy it's been to do this with you. Uh probably because I've I've known you since you were 5 years old, right? And that's so that's pretty special for me, too. So, thank you for for coming here and joining me and doing such a fantastic job. You did your homework and I really really loved the opportunity to be with you tonight. >> Well, thank you for having me. It was an honor. It's something I've always wanted to do. You're such an energetic person. Just such a great guy to be around. So, I really appreciate it. >> Well, Jacob, thank you. And I'm going to let you sign us off here. >> All right. Well, the final here from Ashland High School.
The Clockers get a big win 10 to 9. Lurai Colette with a game-winning home run in the sixth inning and the Clockers move to 14 and five. We'll see you sometime soon hopefully. and I will see you tomorrow at again as the Clockers take on the Grafton Gators in their final regular season game. So, we are signing off here from Ashlin High School with another Ashlin Clocker softball varsity victory. >> Yes. Have a great night everybody. Thank you.
