It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Notre Dame can now relate to. They fell just short of the Palma Chieftains by a score of 3-2 on Saturday. The Regents were red-hot at the plate heading into the match (they scored no less than ten runs in the four games prior), but the Chieftains' pitcher proved too tough.
Anya Shah spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on six hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 18 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Kamille Beals made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went a perfect 3-for-3 with two doubles and one stolen base. She has been hot recently, having posted three or more hits the last three times she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of U'Ilani Wells, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
