That was 27 up and 27 down for Farnam and the Lady Railers, who
were perfect on defense behind the junior pitcher. Farnam struck
out 9 Tigers. The rest of her stat line was all goose eggs: 0
hits, 0 runs and 0 walks. It
is Farnam's first perfect game in her career.
The Lady Railers scored the winning run in the bottom of the
ninth inning with two outs. Taryn Stoltzenburg’s bunt single to
the shortstop started the rally. Cassie Bridge would hit a
ground ball and reach base on an error by the first baseman, as
Stoltzenburg raced around the bases and scored the game-winning
run.
The Urbana pitcher, Allison Deck, was outstanding from the
circle, too. Deck tossed eight and two-thirds innings, allowing
one run on two hits. Deck struck out 15 Lady Railers.
The Lady Railers improved to 22-12 on the season.
Lincoln will play Mount Zion Friday at 4:30 p.m. for the Class
3A Regional Championship hosted by Mount Zion.
Congratulations to Cara Farnam and the Lady Railers on this
elite accomplishment!
