Foul. >> And now she can play around with the zone. You know, put a ball on on the on the corners, not give something great to hit and and see if she can get the batter chasing for an out here. >> Would be huge to get the leadoff hitter. Here comes the O2. That's strike three. Their >> daughter through all strikes in that bat. >> That's a heck of a That's a heck of a a job there by Holly Cash. You know, you have the first inning, we had a little bit of trouble. She's able to come back, get a little rest, and and she came back with confidence, get ahead of the count, and that's exactly what we need out of Holly right there. If we can continue to see that, I like our chances. >> Yeah, kudos to Holly for just coming back out with that grip.
The >> second getting the first batter out >> as Eliza Goldman shoots one to second and a nice grab from But outs for Cash. That's great. Nice little play by Haley to go to her left. That ball looked like it was hanging on for for an awful long time. I wasn't sure what was going to happen, but Haley gets over there, makes the play, and now we got two for the dangerous Sophia Beckett who comes to the plate. >> Beckett walked her first time. Comes the first pitch. Owens outside. >> I mean, you want to be a two out, nobody on with her coming to the plate. So, this is this is the perfect situation. anywhere in uh graphics. >> Here comes the one from Cashion. That's a good pick. Dropped in there and it's one and one. >> Yeah, Louis disappears sometimes. >> Yeah, >> you say Sophia Beckett's batting average is came in 328 on the season.
>> So, she's one of the leaders for >> as she flies that one back past third. Stars goes out and makes the catch. Over the shoulder grab for Saris and a one, two, three second for Holly Cashion. Nico does it again. Right. We talk about having your best players make your best plays. She ends the first inning with a diving stop. She ends that one having to go backwards and make a really tough play. I thought that thing might have been a no man's land. When you've got speed like Nico with shortstop, she makes things happen for the big huge third out of the inning. It wasn't no man's land and that that ball was perfect perfectly hitting no man's land. But who else when you go to go out and and be able to make that play? That was amazing. >> Kind of reminded me of you, Mr.
Kir and the nimleness of uh >> I tell you what. So, so we joke, but back in the day, I was a nifty little shortstop playing for the uh Red Sox when I was 12 years old, playing in fact with uh with Christopher De Julia, whose daughter is playing third base today for the Walpole Warriors. You set me up pretty good for that one. Uh getting to watch an old friend's daughter play today as we say hello to uh a a major supporter of Ashlin athletics, Mr. Kevin Anderson, our former athletic director. uh taking in this one today. Great to see him. Always got a smile on his face and it's really nice to see Kevin taking in this game today. >> Yeah, >> I think we've already got a front runner for is it the gobbler defensive player of the game? >> The gobbler defensive player of the game right now is is certainly the is certainly a uh >> Nico is definitely the top contender right now having two big time.
Yeah, I would love to see a play that beats that play out because it would it'll be one for the ages cuz that that one back 15 yard. >> It helps when you have the best center fielder in the league playing shortstop and you know and Nico's been moved to too short because of some of the defensive substitutions that needed to be made. That's a strike to Rebecca Creggsmann who leads it off here. Bottom third of the lineup for the Clockers. Cregsman 286 on the season for the senior. That one is shot to second and a nice grab there >> by Carmeloitz. Just stuck her glove up and grabbed it. >> Yeah, nice piece of contact there by Rebecca who does typically get her bat in the ball. That's one of my favorite things about Rebecca. Another really tough strike out. Uh she puts your bat in the ball there.
Makes that nice play by the second baseman. >> Quinn Herurder digs in and takes the strike. Another senior 270 on the season. >> Yeah, that last play the second baseman going up about as high as she could and kind of snow coned that ball almost out of her glove, but she was able to hold on to it. Good good play there by the second base. Becket looks like she's bringing a little extra oomph this inning. She's throwing harder than she did in the first. She may be one of those pitchers who picks up steam as she goes uh because she's got some great velocity uh in the clock right now having a hard time catching up. Yeah, as her down one ball and two strikes. That's a ground ball to first base and a very easy play there for Kelsey Kaufman. Just steps on the bag to her left and is two away.
>> Yeah, we think that pitch was low. um came in very low but you know again >> got the bat on the ball got the ball in the infield but unfortunately went directly under the glove of the first base >> as Mattie Sanders pops one in right that will get down for a base hit actually cashing excuse me that's okay cashing helping her cause right there Jacob Holly helping her cause with the opposite field single a nice little piece of hitting by Holly it looks like we're going to a runner coming into the game for Holly. From a distance looks like it might Sophie Connor, but I'm not positive. >> Does look like Yeah, that is number 10 Sophie Connor sophomore. >> Good runner. >> So like when back to the top with Nico Stars who tripled and scored her first time off was a ball that got into the right center field gap.
So she's going to steal. >> Sure would like another triple here from Nico. cut this lead down to one. >> That's a strike. Connors is stealing and she walks in there standing up with a stolen base. Kind of nonchalant there. >> That was a little bit too close for a stand up uh moves to second base. I'm surprised there wasn't a slide there, but but made it in, so >> can't criticize it. >> Nicoar lines it into center field for A BASE HIT. CONNORS WILL STOP. Osaris gets the lead and Connors did not see the stop sign and she is out at the plate. See Sophie Sophie ran Sophie ran through the third base coach stop sign. Coach Larry Sasso was clearly giving her the stop. She must not have seen it. Uh unfortunate situation there to run into the third out at home. Coach Sasso can not be happy with that.
Uh he his arms were up as about as high as I could see, but Sophie was determined to to score, I guess. Uh and that wastes Nico's nice hit. We could have had runners on second and third, but nonetheless, got to stay positive here and uh the the clockers are going to come out and have to play a little defense. >> Yeah. And both pitchers toss a scoreless second inning after we saw six total runs in that first. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's unfortunate that play. I mean the the there was no chance of I think anyone even it was Nico >> running and making it to home. Uh the ball was not hit out far enough and >> it was an easy play uh down to the catcher to get the out. >> But you know, hey, mistakes happen like you said. You know, we're only down uh two runs.
>> Yeah. As we enter the third inning here as Cashion will come back to the mound >> and Kelsey Kaufman will lead off and last time she was up the Oakfield was playing her very deep. She does have a home run on the season and we'll see if they play her deep again. >> Yeah, I imagine they probably will. Uh obviously it's a little bit easier to to come in on a ball and to track one from a distance. So, so we'll we'll see where the outfield is playing. Kaufman, she's got a little power, but at least she's up here to lead off. So, a a a big hit will have minimal damage >> as they do back up. >> Let's see if you too throwing these throwing these strikes in there. You know, the first inning the the balls and not being able to get the ball in the zone is what hurt her.
Second inning, she came back and was throwing everything out of the strike zone. >> Um and now we'll see how she does in the third. First pitch is outside to Kaufman. We'll see Kaufman, Calibro, and De Julia here in the third. Here's the one ball, no strike pitch. Ground ball. Oh, back to the mound. What a snab there by Catch. Wow, just sucked the glove up and is out number one. Yeah, that ball was hit back at her pretty hard. A little defensive play there by Holly. Helps her own cause. makes a nice grab over first for out number one. Uh that one could have been could have been dangerous. That was Yeah, I think it was either catch the ball or take a ball to the face mask. That's why right at her face. Yeah, >> but we get a quick out which is great.
>> That woke Holly up a little bit there having that ball come at her that hard. Right back with the strike. Swinging a miss there by the five hitter Calibra. Is it is that how he's >> Calabro? >> Calabra. >> Bro for with a or sorry O for O with a walk and a run scored as she takes the ball there even in the count. >> Yeah, this feels like a really important inning right now. Uh especially with 345 coming up for the clockers. If we can get out of this with no damage, maybe string a couple hits together uh for for uh Vendetti, Kyra, Laura, Colette, and Ruby. Get ourselves the lead. >> 2-1 is upstairs. >> Let's go. >> And now it's three balls in one strike. >> Let's battle. >> Cabbro looking to walk for her second straight time. All right, here we'll see if Holly can really bear down here and get to throw a couple of strikes when you're really needed.
>> And she will not. It is ball four. So a one out walk here for Whan. All right, that is the fourth walk issued by Cashion. No damage here. Here's Caitlyn Julia. It's one for one with a single. That's a ground ball off of Passion and it rolls to third base and Colette does not have a a play anywhere. We'll see if she's okay. I don't know if that got her in the glove. >> That looked like it went right off her foot. Uh that thing came back hot. That's two in a row that came right back to the pitcher. Um I'm assuming that this does not count. I would hope this does not count as a coach's visit to the circle. As you know, you only get two an inning or else you have to take your your pitcher out. Uh but coach Pam Curtis comes out to check on her pitcher to make sure she's okay.
Holly looks like she's fine to keep going. But that was a real hot shot. >> It was That's a couple times this inning that it's happened. So now two on here for Whan with only one out and Olivia Carmeloitz will bat next. An RBI walk her first time up at one's pop foul. Another really big situation here, right? Runners on first and second. We got a runner in scoring position here with only one out in what is already a two-run deficit for the clock. Just got to make sure we limit the damage here in this inning. >> I know. And >> getting a big out here is is absolutely critical. >> She's ahead here. >> Nothing in one. >> That one's upstairs. >> Okay. Okay. Thank you. Looks like Ustaris and Beerman are playing double play depth to see if they can possibly turn two up the middle, which would be the ideal situation, but I'll just take a popup.
>> Here comes the 1-1. That one is a popup into center. Herder goes to her left and makes the catch. Runner will hold at second base. Calabro does not test the arm and there's two away. >> Yeah, that's big out there. Quinn come tracking that ball all the way. She had it. Nice easy play for her in center field. Uh so hopefully we can get out of this without any runs scored with runners on first and second. >> Freshman Sophia Gork will bat one for one with an RBI single her first time up. First pitch is popped up behind the plate and Vendetti can't get there and it's 0 and one. Vendetti gave an honest effort to get down there. That was very out of reach. Maybe Tony Pñena might have had that. >> Maybe, but I don't know. Maybe diving. >> No balls in one strike.
Cashing ahead of another hitter here. It's been a trend so far these last couple innings. >> Nothing in two. >> That was a beautiful catch. Good pitch there by Holly. Getting ahead 02 here. >> Again, get out of this inning with a ton of confidence with our with our good hitters coming up the plate. can make this thing happen. >> No balls, two strikes. That one outside. One ball, two strikes now. >> All right. You know, she has a couple to give. So now you want to play around with the corners. You want to get the batter to bite at something. It looks like a strike then drops out of the end. And then if that doesn't work, you got to go back and hit strikes. >> That one is upstairs. So now two balls and two strikes here on Gork. Yeah, really important not to lose this batter, especially since you'd like to see the bottom of the order coming up in the fourth.
>> Here comes the two- two from Cashin. That's a line drive into right field for a base hit. They're going to send the runner to the plate. Here's the throw. It's not in time. Jabbro scores from second on an RBI single. A second RBI single from Sophia Gork. Nice piece of hitting there by by the freshman, right? Freshman Gork puts it to the opposite field. Sanders is able to get it in a hurry, but really no chance at that with the runner moving on the hit. Scores the run and now it is a five to2 lead for >> Wayland. Yeah, >> looks like they're going to get a pinch runner here cuz Gork is the catcher. >> Ash kind of luck out there. the runner uh at second base didn't go to third on that throw to home and I think she could have made it there but they held her up and she didn't go and which is very fortunate for Ashlin not to have somebody sitting over there at third base.
Yeah, I agree with you George because what would typically would happen right is she'd be on third and then we have to make the decision of whether or not we're going to try and throw down and get the third out at second base cuz it would be an automatic steal with the first and third situation. Right. It's a runner in easy scoring position. >> So Vivian Brevard will bat 0 for one. Takes a strike. That is Eden Parker who comes in to run for Gork. >> All right. Holly's really got to buckle down here and just close this thing out here. First pitch strike certainly helps. >> Comes the 01. That one's low. Good stop by Vendetti and it's one and one. It >> feels like everything inning right now is critical. >> Yeah. >> One-1 is up and away. So, two balls in a strike.
Top of the lineup lurking on deck. >> Here comes the 2-1 from Cashin. >> That one is low. Three and one. >> Yeah, that guy was like just outside. It was a nice nice pitch. A good off speed pitch, but it just fell a little bit away. >> Now she's in a full. >> She already has walked four here. 31. That's a strike and the count is full. >> Go get her home. >> Looking to get out of it. >> Three and two. Two also. You know the runners are going to be moving on the pitch. So a single is absolutely going to score one run. Hopefully he doesn't score two. Here comes the 3-2 line drive TO FIRST AND IT'S snapped by Kyra. >> Beautiful play. Beautiful quick play to go to her left side. Snag that and just step on the bag. Yeah, Caroline just got the team out of that inning beautifully.
We got another but also a great pitch by Holly to put something in there to force that ground ball. Count on your fielders to do something with it. And Caroline came through just picked that up, stepped in the bag and out of the inning. I think she actually snagged it in the air, George. You think? >> Yeah. Yeah, that ball was snagged in the air. She She almost >> So, she got the double play. >> No, it was so Well, >> which wasn't necessary. So, that >> Yeah, she made she made the catch in the air. >> Allah Andy Moog, it looked like making that play and saving as a go as a goalie. I don't know much about hockey, so he was the only one I could think of. >> Yep. Great to get out of that inning. Yeah, she naturally stepped on the bag, which just is like instinctually to step on the bag when you got a runner there just in case.
