HOW IT HAPPENED
GAME 1
  • The first game of the doubleheader was a thrilling back and forth affair with the Thunderwolves getting on the board in the top of the first.
  • Alexis Mack responded with a crushed opposite field triple over the right fielder's head to score Caroline Frank from first base.
  • Niagara regained the lead in the top of the third, but Harford answered again as Alexis Valentine lasered a triple to right center and later scored on a Mack RBI bunt single.
  • Harford fell behind again as the Thunderwolves scored one in the fourth and two more in the fifth to take a 5-3 lead.
  • Mack picked up her third RBI of the game in the bottom of the fifth on a sac fly to left field to score Frank to cut the deficit in half.
  • With two outs in the bottom of the sixth, Savannah Meyers singled up the middle then stole second and third to get in position to tie the game.
  • Lindsay Bowler then stepped up and mashed a ball down the right field line which allowed her to race all the way around the bases for an inside the park home run to take the lead for the Fighting Owls.
  • Valentine shut the Thunderwolves down in the top of the seventh including her eighth strike out of the game to pick up her fifth win of the season.
GAME 2
  • Harford leapt out of the gates in game two, with Lindsay Bowler starting things off with a lead-off single
  • Alexis Valentine hit an RBI double down the right field line to score Bowler to give Harford the lead.
  • With two outs, Emily Bowler stepped up and lined a double to the left center gap to score Valentine, then was driven in by Erica James as Harford led 3-0 after the first.
  • Both team's bats went cold after that, with the next run not being scored until the bottom of the fifth when Caroline Frank hit a lead-off triple then scored on a wild pitch.
  • Niagara County hit an inside the park home run to get a run back in the top of the sixth, but Emily Bowler shut the door after that as she picked up her fifth win of the year giving up one run on four hits and no walks with five strikeouts.
