The MS SB team had an outstanding TEAM win last night over Rock Springs Middle School.  The lady tigers battled back after getting into a 6-1 hole to win 10-7. On the mound, 6th grade pitcher Emalyn Rein gain momentum and started pitching high heat. 8th grade pitcher and outfielder, Olivia Groce, came in for the save on the last two outs of the game.  Infielders, Molly Glover, Charlee Denny, Sophia Croasdaile, El Foss, Cad Young all made contributions defensively and offensively. Young hit a triple that brought 2 runs in. Croasdaile hit a single, and Foss went 2/3 only on a fielder's choice and stole a total of 5 bases.  Outfielders Sam Odell, Quinn Ertl, Niko M., Sara Zaza, and Oliva Groce covered large real estate very well. Odell made it to base on balls twice, as well as Groce.  The lady tigers are back in action Monday at Rockvale Middle School.
