"It was an excellent game to watch," said MKS coach Joseph Plummer.
"Both teams made some great plays and had some awesome at-bats. It
just goes to show, if you gave your absolute best effort and you
still lost the game, you can still walk away as a winner. The girls
on both teams played their hearts out. Clinton just happened to be
the better team on the scoreboard." Losing pitcher for MKS was
Rebecca Brooks, who also had a hit and a run while at the plate.
Jessica Plummer had a walk, a single, a double, two RBIs and scored
twice. Madison Bishop had a walk, a double, one RBI and scored once.
Hayley Turner had a double and one RBI. Hailey Renfro had two
singles and one RBI. Breanna Waller scored once for MKS. Jordan Wood
walked three times and Abby Cline had two walks. Stephanie Smith
made great contact with the bat to advance runners into scoring
position but did not reach base successfully.
