Valencia vs Hart

 

It was a packed house and an enormous amount of school spirit at Valhalla field on Tuesday 5-12-09 where the Lady Vikings took on Hart and took the win with a 4 hit shut out.

In the top of the 1^st Hart went down in order. Bottom of the 1^st, Lauren Boser hit a slapper along the 3^rd base side and beat the throw at 1^st. Madison Shipman then came up with a double and moved Boser to 3rd. The Lady Vikings were unable to score. Top of the 2^nd, Hart had 2 strikeouts followed by a hard hit line drive to Boser for the out. Bottom of the 2^nd the Vikings went down in order. Top of 3^rd, Harts first two batters struck out followed by a walk, single to left and a groundout to Caitlin Rooney for the third out. Bottom of the 3^rd, Shannon Fitzgerald hit the first pitch to right field for a double followed by a sacrifice bunt by Megan Foglesong to advance Fitzgerald to 3^rd. Boser drew a walk and Madison Shipman was intentionally walked to load the bases. Again the Vikings were unable to capitalize. Top of 4^th, the first batter got on with a walk and advanced to 2^nd on a sacrifice bunt. The next two batters were put out by Shipman and Amy Moore. Bottom of the 4^th the Vikings went down in order. Top of 5^th Hart had a groundout to Rooney followed by a single that tipped off Carly Mortensen’s glove and just got by a diving Shipman into center field. A bunt was put down but Boser tagged out the batter and the runner advanced to 2^nd. The inning was ended with a strikeout. Bottom of 5^th, Fitzgerald had a single but was caught stealing at 2^nd base. Top of 6^th, the first two outs were recorded by Mortensen with a comebacker and a strikeout. The next batter hit a single but was able to advance to 3^rd on an error. The last out of the inning was handled by Rooney when the batter popped up. The real action began in the bottom of the 6^th inning when Boser led of the inning getting to 1^st when she was hit by a pitch. With Justine Sibthorp running for Boser, Shipman came to the plate and drew her second walk of the game, advancing Sibthorp to 2^nd. Bethany Kemp came to the plate and drew another walk to load the bases. Rooney came to the plate and came up huge when she hit a double to left field scoring Sibthorp and Shipman. With Kemp on 3^rd and Rooney on 2^nd, Annie Dreher was hit by a pitch and went to 1^st to load the bases. The Lady Vikings were unable to score more in the inning. With the Vikings winning 2-0, Harts first batter grounded out to Boser followed by another groundout to Shipman. With two down in the inning and only needing one more out to win the game the next batter hit a ball that seemed as though it would go to left field, but Shipman made a diving save to hold the batter to a single. Mortensen recorded the last out with a strikeout. Mortensen took the win with a 2-0 win with 8 strikeout. This truly was a team effort and the ladies played flawlessly. Thank you to all the support from everyone that came out to cheer these ladies on, it truly made a difference.
