Game Three (last chance)
Oops! An 11 am start.
Lineup: CC, Addie, Taylor, Bailey, Sami, Lainee, Caroline, Sophie dp, Krystin with Alex in the circle. Who else? She is the ace of the staff such as it is right now. Gress is pitching for the 49ers.
CC doubles and Addie and Taylor walk to load the bases. A groundout by Bailey scores a run. Alex retires the three she faces in the bottom half. 1-0 Shocks after one.
With two outs, Krystin singles in the second. After CC walks, Addie cranks a three-run homer. Alex gets three more batters including a K. 4-0 after two.
Barefoot is on to start the third for Charlotte and retires the three Shockers she faces.
The bottom of the third gets ugly. A double with two outs scores a run. A walk and Sami's error load the bases, but Alex gets a K to end the threat. 4-1 Shocks after three.
Barefoot retires three more Shocks in the fourth. Back-to-back doubles by the 49ers with one out puts runners at second and third. A sac fly scores one before Alex get another K. 4-2 after four.
Addie lead off the fifth with a double and later scores on a single by Sami. 5-2 in the middle of the fifth.
Two singles with one out put runners at the corner for Charlotte. A sac fly scores a run. 5-3 after five.
With two outs in the Shocker sixth, Krystin gets an infield single, and CC follows with a two-run blast. Addie walks and steals second, but nothing comes of it. 7-3 Shockers in the middle of the sixth.
Single runs for the 49ers in each of their last three at-bats. If Alex falters ... I can't bear the thought. :)
Charlotte leads off their sixth with a homer. Sigh. Three outs follow including another inning-ending K by Alex. 7-4 after six.
Sami doubles with one out, but two outs follow. Two hits by four players for the Shocks for their total of eight at this point. Still 7-4.
With one out, a double and a single put 49ers at the corners, and a walk loads the bases. It appears this game is Alex's to win or lose. Given the last two days, who can argue with that decision?
Lengthy delay in the LiveStats - a replay review?
A groundout scores one for Charlotte, but the game ends on a flyout to right.
Shockers 7-5 Charlotte
Alex guts out a complete game win, giving up ten hits and two walks. She had 4 strikeouts.
CC, Addie, Sami, and Krystin all had two hits. CC and Addie both had a double and a homer, Sami had a double. Addie and CC both had a multi-RBI games, three for Addie and two for CC.
