Game Summary
Wow! You couldn't write a much better script for a Senior on last home game. We celebrated our Seniors between games & then Heather Henson comes up with the bases loaded in the bottom of the first. First pitch was crushed way over the left center fence for a grand slam & we never looked back. Our first 7 hitters reached in the 1st & scored. Then Ashley West throws a 1-hitter to back up the hitters. Henson went 3 for 3 with the Grand Slam, 5 RBI's & 2 runs scored. Mallory Daniels also was 3 for 3 with a triple, 2 RBI's & 2 Runs. Anissa Rasul was 2 for 3 with an RBI & 2 Runs. The win means we finished 3rd in the conference.
