The Niwot Cougars will be defending their home-field for the first time for the first time when they go up against the Erie Tigers at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Niwot is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They fell 12-7 to Golden last Saturday.
Payton Stokes made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored a run and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Payton Johnson, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4.
Even though they lost, Niwot didn't let batters stay on the plate for long and finished the game with nine strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Golden only tossed five.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 18 runs the game before, Erie was a bit more limited in their contest on Saturday. They took a 7-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of Fossil Ridge. The match marked the Tigers' lowest-scoring game so far this season.
Sydnie Snook made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Erin Young also deserves some recognition as she stolen her first stolen base of the season.
