I don t want to win a game like that. A week later, the Vikings fell 6-3 to Northern Vance their first conference loss since 1990. That s all history now, pitcher Jessica Mitchell said. We showed to ourselves that we know what we re doing. Still, Coach Alan Rigsbee saw signs his Ladies might be turning the corner.
Every team s different.
This one seems to play better when they re relaxed. Northern strung together three straight singles to load the bases in the seventh, and Stephanie Wagner s fielder s choice drove in Ashley Compton for the Ladies lone run of the game. We had some people step forward and lead the team. Curry lead off the fifth with a triple, and Garrard drove her in with a groundout to second. Despite the loss and tie, Coach Mac Merritt said his Pirates didn t leave the Challenge empty-handed.
