STO-ROX BEATS HIGHLY RANKED SOUTH PARK

image_name2
3 RBI DOUBLE

Sto-Rox beats top ranked South Park 4-2 in comeback win. Sto-Rox fell behind 2-0 in the 5th inning. But like the teams of Sto-Rox past, they came roaring back in the 6th inning when the team came to life on the bench and with their bats. Hayley Weisser led off the bottom of the 6th when beating out a slap to the shortstop. The cheers then came from the fans and the bench and continued until the game ended in the top of the 7th. Natalya Smarra then ripped the ball for a single to left. This seemed to rattle the South Park team and pitcher a little. Noticing this, Sto-Rox called for a double steal that was successful. With runners now on second and third, Mary Cersosimo then singled in Weisser and Sam Schmidt moved her to second when she almost beat out an infield hit. Aimee Miller then beat out an infield hit to load the bases. That set up Kierra Washington's 3 rbi double for the sixth hit of the inning to give Sto-Rox a 4-2 lead. In the top of the 7th inning, with a runner on first, the game ended when a stinging line drive  was spectacularly caught by Kayla Cropper in left field. Sto-Rox moved their record to 3-0.
