AUX Softball kicked off Series Two after a very competitive Series One with great individual and team performances. Moreover, three new captains took the field: Andrea Filler, Nadia Taylor, and Aubrey Leach. Games Seven and Eight saw a few rookies impact the game in the circle and at the plate. That being said, here’s a recap of the first two games of Series Two.
Game Seven: Team Filler Uses Big Seventh Inning to Win 8-2 over Team Taylor
In this game, Filler’s squad trailed 1- 0 entering the fourth inning but scored in every inning afterward. Taylor Edwards scored on a fielding error in the fourth and Anissa Urtez delivered an RBI double the following inning. Next, Rachel Garcia slammed a two-run double to left center in the sixth.
Lastly, Amanda Lorenz hit a three-run home run while Jessi Warren hit a solo shot in the seventh. In addition, Garcia came through in the circle for Team Filler, tossing five innings while allowing five hits and a strikeout.
