Prep Recap for April 8: Young leads Pirates to softball win
By Staff Reports
Tuesday, April 08, 2008 | No comments posted.
Marshfield got a dominant pitching performance from Brittney Young and two big innings to beat Willamette 8-0 and improve to 2-1 in the Midwestern League softball season.
Young gave up just two hits while striking out six and not walking any hitters.
“Brittney’s pitching really well,” said Marshfield coach Floyd Montiel. “When she can get (shortstop) Brianna (George) a lot of balls on the ground, that’s a good combination.”
Willamette pitcher Aysia Coelho matched Young in not giving up any runs until the fourth inning.
Young started Marshfield’s half of the fourth with a single and George sacrificed her to second. Jessica Ott walked and Chelsea Burns hit a double to the fence in left-center, driving in both Young and Ott. After Kayla Lyche walked and Deidra Stewart had a perfect sacrifice bunt, Burns scored on a Willamette error.
Marshfield added four runs in the sixth. Lyche and Natalie Caffey singled and Tiffany Wiley had a sacrifice bunt. After Stacy Smith walked, Jayla Tavernier hit a hard ball that the Wolverines mishandled, allowing two runs to score. Young and Ott added RBI singles.
“We did some good things today,” Montiel said. “It was nice to get some good hits and runs.”
The Pirates visit Thurston on Wednesday and host North Eugene on Friday to complete the first of three rounds of league play.
