gets it over to Kyra for the first out of the inning. And they were able to hold the runner at third base. She's not able to advance on that. >> That is huge. >> It is huge. And we've got one out with the runner on third base. >> We tie game. We just need two more plays exactly like that. >> Yeah. Olivia Carmeloitz bats, lines it into left field, and it drops in front of Wilson for a base hit. Runner will score and Whan regains the lead in the seventh. It's 76. >> That go ahead run there is really really tough uh by Wayland. >> They go ahead now 7 to6 here in the top of the six with only one out and the runner on first putting the pressure certainly on Holly and Ashlin. >> Now you have to face Sophia Gork who's two for three.
>> Smokes that one to short. What a play by. They get one. Throw the first is high. Cyro will go to chase it and staying at first base is G. Wise decision there, but >> we said Beerman had a couple smart plays earlier knowing not to throw it. That one she probably could have kept in the pocket. >> Yeah, probably couldn't help out. I think she got a little anxious trying to make it over. Ultimately, no harm is done as uh Kyra able to get off the bag and grab it in time. Uh, what I want to say, Mike, although you've made you said something about Caroline's speed, I saw I can't believe how fast she got over to that fence to get that ball. I mean, she was like lightning to pick that up to keep that runner there on first base. >> Yeah.
Part of me wishes that the runner did go cuz I think Caroline could have thrown. >> She could have. I think she could have. You're right. Yeah. >> Here comes the number nine hitter, Vivian Brevard takes one upstairs. Edan Parker came in to pinch run for Gork at first base with two outs here. So Cashin's job now to keep it a one-run game. Here comes the one upstairs. Two balls and no strikes. Breard two ground outs and a line out. 0 for three in the nine hole. That one gets by the catcher Vanetti and into second base goes Parker. Now a 300 count here to Breva. Was that the first pass ball we've seen? I think all I I think on part of Ashlin. So we talked about this. I'm I am a catcher stat. I'm always going to make that call. That was a wild pitch.
So when it bounces to me, I'm not going to make that pass ball on. But yeah, it was our first one of the day. Evan has been a a a glove back here today. Yeah. has done a great job out there. >> Cash throws strike one to Brevard trying to work back here. Three balls, one strike, runner in scoring position. Two away. Here comes. That's a good fast ball. And it's a full count. So from 3 0 to 32. Going to leave a runner on. Keep it a one-run game. I I tell you what. Uh the the clockers have to get out of this right now and then let's go and get them bats going. >> That's a pop up to first. Kyra makes the catch and that was on the transfer. That that was on the >> absolutely on the transfer. >> That was on the transfer and she went to go tag the bag, but it was foul anyway.
>> On the transfer. >> She made that catch. >> She made the catch. I don't know what is what the uh the Walpole co or Wayland coach is doing here complaining. That was certainly on the transfer. That was definitely on the trans. No doubt about it. She makes the catch. >> They got that one right. >> So, here we go. The clockers have three outs to get at least one run to keep this game going and keep their round of 32 hopes alive. >> They sure do. That one was a little bit scary because you you never want to put anything in the hands of because he certainly has blown a punch today. I would have liked to have seen him squeeze that a little bit longer, but I do think ultimately he got the right call. I think that was on the transfer. Um, >> now this brings up Ruby Kazadian in a gigantic spot for the junior.
Uh, looking for her first hit of the day. And she's a kid who has the ability to change this entire game with one swing of the bat. I just don't want her up there thinking about that. >> Yeah. It's it's best that you don't in in a situation like this. Just do what you can, you know, know that you have players coming up behind you. Get on base. Doesn't matter if you get a hit, if you can walk, you know, reach on a on a uh hit by pitch or anything like that. Just get on base and let this inning unravel. >> I mean, it's easy to say, but in reality, you're in the playoff game. You're down a run. You have three outs to go. And yeah, the coach is going to have to talk to these girls and and and get them relaxed and get them in their game because this is like the highest pressure situation you could be in here.
>> Yeah, >> cuz I hate to I'd hate to see I I I'm going to I'm going to stay positive here because I think we can do this. I think Ruby is going to get us going here with the big hit here in in the bottom of the seventh. This is the same situation uh they were in last time when they when they came back and they beat Wall, beat Whan uh where they had to do it in the bottom of the seventh with some big hits by the bottom half of the order. And and Kazamian by no nature is a bottom half order hitter. Uh on any team, she's probably hitting three, four, and five. And she's here for us with six. Takes a first pitch ball. Hit the ball hard a couple of times, but nothing to show for. Three ground outs on the afternoon as we begin the bottom of the seventh.
One ball and no strikes. Two and0. I can't help right now but think about some some really unfortunate things that have happened to the clock. Right. Yeah. Three outs at home plate. One mystery one and then two really poor base running. >> Uh >> again, three balls. I really want them to win. I would hate to see those those base running errors come back to haunt them in the long run. >> Yeah. >> Almost certain that Kazadian would be taking on a 3-0 pitch. Here comes it is upstairs. So a leadoff walk. The tying run reaches and >> are they going to go for a pinch runner here? I'd assume that's what coach Sassa is going to talk about. >> I assume you want to get some speed on the bases. >> You know, Ruby's got decent wheels. She's a smart base runner. I he's he's going to looks like he's going I'm not sure who exactly he has to go in for Ruby to run.
He's already used Merlooney in a different situation. He's used Cotch in another situation. >> Oh, maybe Cotch can reenter. >> No, who is that exactly? Number eight, >> Mattie Sanders. >> Maddie Sanders. So, because she's not hitting, >> she's a flex and she can go in a flex player. Um, she is able to go in as a runner because she's a flex. Again, Matty's got great wheels. um have to certainly think about a stolen base right now. I would I I would think that that is what he's going to try to do. And it looks like Cesman is back up. >> Wow. Yeah. So Ally Wilson took her place after she got hit by a pitch, but she will come in and cut and miss. >> Recca. >> Hopefully not her last at bat of her uh sorry high school career. >> Have to think that Matty should steal right now.
>> 0 and one >> tries to lay a bunt down but comes up empty. And now nothing in two here. And please do not bunt again. We've already seen them strike out on a bunch. >> But I do have to talk about the light, too. I mean, it is it continues to get a little bit dimmer out there. That one misses one and two. So, the key here is you just need one more runner to get on because it does turn the turn it over to the top of the order here with Milogs. You've got to turn it over. Cresman slow roller but foul. >> Oh jeez. >> That was that area that no man's land there if she kept it fair. >> So it is still one and two. >> Yeah, we only has a couple of base hits from that a slow roller over the third base side with you know what they took advantage of.
Would have been nice to see Ashlin get one of those. >> One two strikes to Cresman. Swing and a miss. goes upstairs and gets her. >> And there's one away here in the seventh for Quinn Herder. >> Well, Herder is the one who had the biggest hit of the game in game one against Whan. She had the gamewinning >> hit in the first matchup. First pitch and she goes hacking and it's 0 and one. That one looked a little off a little outside there. Yeah, I think Quinn was a little aggressive there, but obviously I was thinking >> not able to go either, but like >> Here comes the 01. >> Even if I could. >> That's a ball. Good stop behind the plate by Gork, a freshman. >> She's been good back there. >> Yeah, I'm still surprised Maddie hasn't taken the chance here.
Got to try and see if we can manufacture something, especially with one out here. Got to got to see if we can get a runner in a scoring position. >> Yeah, she's one for one on seal attempts this season. >> Fouled ball by Herder. Now she's down in the count one and two. >> Both second baseman and shortstop are pretty far away from second base. So for them to get over there in time on the run, get a ball and get it down on the runner would be challenging. So I agree. I'm surprised we're not trying to make something happen here. >> Strikes swing and a miss. Two down in the seventh >> and it all comes down. to the pitcher Holly Cashin >> here with two away. First pitch is a foul ball. >> Cashin is one for three with a single. >> The clock's last hope here with on deck.
You got to get on base anyway possible. >> Got to get on base anyway possible here. Holly has put her bat on the ball today. Here's the 01 swing and a miss. Down to their final strike potentially. 02 from Beckett. Ground ball back to the mound. Beckett goes to first and the ball game is over. The Whan Warriors come to Ashland and upset the Clockers 7 to6. Some late inning controversy certainly a factor and the Clocker season comes to a close. Yeah, an unfortunate way to end it. Um an unfortunate way to end a really really wonderful season for this Clockers. Hats off to these young ladies who have really made it fun this year. I've enjoyed watching them every game. Uh first tournament appearance in well over a decade. I hope that they do not leave this field with their heads down because they they had just such a great year.
Uh coach Sasso comes in, leads them to a 15-5 regular season record. They're going to end the season at 15-6. A one-run loss today to Whan. Uh, and I I I have to say just a controversial call. I wish I knew it what it was. Um, I'm sure coach Sasso is absolutely not happy with how that thing ended, but you just can't leave you can't leave the game in the hands of an umpire. You can't. You can't. But you also have to go back to some of the running calls that you had you had mentioned before. some of those outs at home um that happened just because of you know uh mistakes in the running base path. But I mean overall this is a very competitive game. This is a one-run game in the playoff. So you really like as you said Mike, you really got to hand it to these girls number one and number two.
This is a young team, you know, for these guys to get into the playoffs. uh with, you know, the number of freshman and sophomores that we have, what the team's going to look like in the coming years going into next year, the year after, you know, we're in a little bit of a a renaissance here for um Ashlin softball and I think we're going to have a couple of great seasons coming up as well. Um, you know, again, this was a great season. You know, kudos to these girls. They just did a great great job. >> Hold your heads up high and look forward to next year. >> Yeah. I mean, I only watched three games, but this it was a lot of fun fun action. And, you know, today was no different. You know, a little bit of a closer game, a little less offense and unfortunately, yeah, it comes down to that that call there, but you know, you also you had other chances and you can't really just look at that and say it's all the umpire's fault, you know?
>> Absolutely not. Plenty of opportunities today, Jacob. They left a lot of runners on base. They didn't string hits together like they have this season. Um, but all in all, it was a pretty successful uh season for these clockers. Like I said, they should have their heads held high as they leave this field today. Just a quick recap. Uh, only eight hits today for the clockers. Uh, three from Ustaris, three from Kyra, uh, one each from Colette and Cashin. And I think that we we would in >> we would be remiss if we didn't talk about the performance by Holly today. not a kid who has thrown a lot of innings this entire year. She was great. She Holly did a really nice job. Seven innings pitched. She allowed 10 hits. Uh seven runs, all of them earned, but limited her walks. Four walks, two strikeouts.
It was that first inning, that first inning. >> But then she came back and we let let him three runs the rest of the day. So kudos to Holly for for pitching really well today. Uh and you know, overall a tough way to end an absolutely terrific season. The clockers end with 15 wins and I just don't think anybody wanted to see this thing end this way. >> You did, but you also have to recognize up front that Bella the the pitcher for the team and and a and a tremendous pitcher um in terms of her stats and what she brings to the team being out um is huge. That's like if Becket wasn't here pitching. I mean, they suddenly have a completely different team. So, you know, you lose your your top pitcher that's taken you through the whole season and you have Holly in who did a a great job, but she hadn't pitched all season.
It was a lot of pressure on her and she came back, she did a good job. But for Ashlin to come and and have this type of a tight game without their starting pitcher that's kind of led them the whole season, it's it's very impressive. >> Well, it was fun. It was a fun season. I'm glad I got to do this last one with you, George and Jacob. Thanks for joining me. Uh, it has really been a blast. I'm hoping to be able to get a couple more of these in next year. Uh, thank you to these amazing seniors, Taylor Cotch, Rebecca Cricggsman, and Quinn Herder who provided tremendous senior leadership. The future is incredibly bright for this team. They are loaded with freshman and sophomores. Uh finally la we'll lead with uh my saying congratulations to uh Nico Ustaris and Caroline Kaira who were both voted by the league to uh be ma named Metro uh Tri Valley League Allstars as well as two freshman who were voted as Tri Valley League honorable mention allstars uh Bella Domestico and Ava Vendetti.
Jacob, it's your job to sign us off for another another day here at Ashland softball. Well, yeah, an incredible season for the Ashland Clockers. And for the baseball team, they'll be playing a game against Mansfield on Sunday at 1:00. I'll be there uh live streaming it in Mansfield. It's a big game for them as they look to make a run in the playoffs. No preliminary round for them this year. Had it last year, but unfortunately for the softball team, they couldn't get it done. A final score of 7 to6. They finished the season 15-6. And thank you guys for joining us. Jacob Doula, Michael Kyra, George Tubin saying so long from Ashland High School. Good night everybody. >> Good night. Good job.
They'll be anxiously awaiting tomorrow's power rankings that are going to come out around 11:00 a.m. The clockers coming into uh the day were the number 29 team in division 2. um have to imagine that they won't drop to 30 with today's win, but anything is possible as the as the Gators do not necessarily have a great power ranking themselves.
