It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Cy-Fair can now relate to. They fell just short of the Bellaire Cardinals by a score of 5-3 on Saturday. Cy-Fair was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Bellaire apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2015.
Cy-Fair got a good showing from Kat Kram, who struck out six batters over 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Kram has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in eight consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, Addyisyn Merriwether was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 1-for-3. Chloe Rios was another key contributor, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.
This is the second loss in a row for Cy-Fair and nudges their season record down to 22-10. As for Bellaire, their win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 14-10.
While Cy-Fair had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
