“It honestly felt amazing,” Billings said. “The new field is amazing and all of us really enjoy playing on it. It is jus

One out later she scored on a sacrifice fly, the first Crimson Bears home RBI, by Alayna Echiverri.

“It felt really good,” Gallettes-Swafford said. “Especially since I just got pull up here (from JV) to base run and I got to get that first run and it was really exciting…I love Alayna, I aspire to be like Alayna.”

That pulled JDHS to within 8-1 and senior Tatum Billings registered the first triple, putting a shot to left field. Billings scored on a double by Nizich for 8-2.

Colony recorded field firsts. Knights senior Kaidence Browning earned the first walk and freshman Emma Minnick the first hit but JDHS’ Billings had the first put out, then the second and Nizich fielded a country wise email marketing list ground ball on the mound to end the threat.

Colony scored the field’s first run in the top of the second inning as sophomore Saibree Noll singled, advanced on a walk to senior teammate Alesha Crowther, stole third and scored on an error. Crowther would score on a wild pitch.

The Knights added a run in the top of the fifth as Browning walked, stole second, advanced on a fly ball out and scored. Colony added another four runs in the top of the sixth inning to lead 8-0 before the Crimson Bears got their firsts.

The Railbelt has a 90-minute time limit for conference games. Teams can finish the inning when that time elapses and this was the final at-bat for JDHS in the contest.

“We were hitting, we weren’t doing a lot of strikeouts,” JDHS coach Razor said after the first game. “We may not have been getting singles and stuff, but they were consistently hitting and they were trying so in that last inning we kind of put it together. And hopefully this next game we’ll put it together and pick up where we left off.”

JDHS did put it together. And they added a little extra in game two.

The Crimson Bears Echiverri led off game two with a single, stole second, advanced to third on a ground ball out and watched as Nizich put that first official home run over the center field fence for 2-0.
