ACHS Softball Highlights:
The ACHS Lady Lions first game was an exciting event, they prevailed winning 15-13 against a tuff Holy Cross team with a sophomore pitcher throwing flames to the plate. The girls came out a little shaky at first giving up 10 runs in the first 2 innings. The ladies made a few errors in the first inning that cost them 5 runs showing their inexperience by not converting outs on simple opportunities where the ball was hit to the infield but was not throw to the proper base to make the out. Junior pitcher Nia Huie was a little erratic early walking a number of Holy Cross batters and giving up some key hits in the first two innings, but she settled down and gave up just 3 runs over the final 4 innings throwing strikes and fielding her position very well. She made a number of clutch pitches when it counted as well as going 3 for 4 from the leadoff spot at the plate, scoring 3 runs. Her battery mate Catcher Sophomore Olivia Turner did a great job all game long in keeping her pitcher confident and holding the opposing team from running the bases at will. Olivia went 2 for 4 at the plate with 2 RBIs and stole home sliding, on a passed ball in the 4th inning to tie the game at 10 for the Lady Lions. The Lady Lions then held tight in the 5th inning giving up 1 run, the infield was errorless from the third inning on juniors: Diamond Stewart, Brina Colbert, Sara Lyons and Sophomore Marisa Savage turned in play after play to get out of trouble and left the Tartans of Holy Cross with multiple players left on base each inning. Shortstop Brina Colbert had the highlight of the game defensively. She went deep up the middle to rob the Tartans of a base hit by fielding a ball and flipping it to her middle infield mate Sara Lyons who tagged 2nd to get the second out of the 5th inning holding the opponents to one run on a ball that would have gone for a base hit and 2 RBIs had it made it to the outfield. Brina was just as steady at the plate going 3 for 5 from the number 2 spot, scoring 3 runs. 3rd Baseman Diamond Stewart held down the hot corner making every out on balls hit her way including a clutch 3rd out in the 5th inning, batting in the 3rd position she went 2 for 4 with 5 RBIs. 2nd baseman Sara Lyons played steady in the infield and went 2 for 4 at the plate and delivered a clutch play in hitting behind the runner to the HC second baseman who had no choice but to get the out at first base while the runner at 3rd scored for the Lady Lions pulling ACHS to within one run of the lead. The outfield was steady and kept all balls in front of them during the game; it was held down by juniors: Christiana Stovall, Akilah Davis, and freshman Aleeyah Colbert. Aleeyah reached base twice scoring on one of those tries. On Akilah’s final time at the plate in the last inning, she hit a sharp line drive to right field and advance to second on a bad throw to first by the right fielder attempting to throw her out. Sophomore Diamond Hunter replaced Akilah as the designated runner and showed her blazing speed by stealing 3rd and home on passed balls for the final insurance run.
The Tenth Women: reserves Dominique Finney, Danielle Hayden, Aamira Sudah, Rachael Parks, Erin Johnson, Bria Savoy, Tomi Tolliver, Jalyn Waston, and SemaJa Evans provided lots of encouragement and loud moral support, especially when we were behind by 10 runs, as they cheered their teammates on to victory. It was a total team victory and every member of the team contributed despite the COOL temperature and lack of light in the last inning.
Go Lady Lions! Great job!
