Jesuit Portland @ Pacifica 3-26

by oldNlazy » Mon Mar 26, 2012 11:01 pm

It was my first chance to see Pacifica and they were indeed impressive. Jesuit reportedly had only played 3 games and they looked it. Their failure to hit wasn't so surprising, many teams have struggled against those pitchers but the pitcher/catcher never got in sync (7 WP/PB in 1st game alone) and their defense (particular the outfielders) couldn't catch the ball. I don't know how many official errors there were but there were at least 7-8 balls that should have been caught that weren't.

The Mariners only managed 7 hits in the 1st game but with 4 errors, 3 BB, 1 HBP and 5 stolen bases there were plenty of chances to score. Many of them were cashed in by Nicole DeWitt who had 2 HRs for 7 RBIs. Kaylee Carlson struck out the 1st 6 batters she faced on the way to 10 in 4 innings. Marina went out in the 1st as well but it was the only time all day. Lee started the 2nd with a single to center and came all the way around to score when the pitcher threw away Hart's ground ball. Then came a WP a walk to Kloss and another WP. Choate singled off the CF's glove for run and DeWitt blasted a 3-run HR over the CF fence. The Crusaders managed their only hit off Carlson in the 3rd but she ran her strikeout total to 8

In the 3rd, Lee again led off with a single and immediately stole 2nd. Akiona walked and a WP put runners at 2nd and 3rd. One run scored on a groundout and the 2nd on an E-7. Akione singled to lead off the 5th and came home on a WP, BB, WP, 1B sequence with Kloss getting the RBI. Tajalle got an IF hit and DeWitt again went to CF this time for a grand slam. The game was ended after 5 by mutual agreement. Lee went 2-3, Choate 2-2 and Akiona 2-3.

Pacifica got twice as many hits in game 2 but they pretty much kept the ball in the park.

As the designated visitors, Pacifica got off to a quick start. DeWitt was hit by a pitch and Canfield doubled her home. Campbell got an RBI single and Lee reached on an E-9. Kloss singled in a run but a double steal attempt resulted in an out at the plate. Jesuit fared somewhat against Winegarner as the leadoff batter singled and stole 2nd but Winegarner struck out the side. Marquez led off the 2nd with a single to LF and stole 2nd. DeWitt walked and they both advanced on a WP. The next 2 batters were retired and it looked like the Crusaders might escape but Lee got a 2-run single and Akiona a 2-run HR.

Hart doubled to lead off the 3rd and 2 outs later scored on an E-4. The LF then booted a catchable fly and the catcher dropped a foul pop. When the dust had cleared the Mariners had 2 more runs. With 2 outs in the 5th a BB and Campbell's double off the CF's glove set the stage for pinch hitter Berzak who brought them both in with a single to CF. Again the game was called after 5. Winegarner allowed 2 hits while striking out 11. Canfield went 3-4 with 3 doubles, Lee 2-2 with 2 RBIs and Kloss and Hart both 2-3.
