"Pitching 0-0, you're definitely feeling the pressure a lot more, because as a pitcher you are the leader of the team," Bragg said. Kenidi Creager singled to drive in Blankenship for a 4-0 lead. Lacy Osborne then fouled out in left on a ball that the Grizzlies' Kelsi Walker made a nice running catch of, but Pizzino was able to tag up and score. Flint and Blankenship scored on Bella Sturgill's double to the right field fence. One out later, Brooklynn Blankenship singled to advance courtesy runner Kayal Flint to second and Kendra Pizzino bunted for a single to load the bases. She actually got it started with a single to center. The Tigers made things comfortable for Bragg with a four-run second inning. So I really just wanted to get ahead of them before they got on us." "In this game, I was really just trying to come out of the gate hot and get ahead of them, because the last time we faced them we went nine innings (a 5-3 Shady win on April 8). "Pitching a lot of games, I've come up short a lot of times, so I tried to learn from that," she said.
But Bragg got two strikeouts around a walk to end an inning that exhibited her growth process. "I threw a few rise balls, but tonight my favorite was my curveball."īragg only faced trouble in the third, when Bethany Butcher led off with a bunt single and aggressively went all the way to third base on Addison Truman's sac bunt.
