Center fielder Lauren Lissy made three nice catches on line drives. Shortstop Ashley Ryan robbed Bound Brook's Joanna Ale twice. The second time, Ryan went behind second base to field a grounder and threw on the run to first base. They've played good defense all year. I am not trying to strike people out.
People can hit the ball hard.
We care a lot about our defense. That's how you are going to win. Middlesex's bats weren't shabby either. After Neely reached and scored on an error in the first, the Blue Jays added one run in the second and two in the third. The Blue Jays scored three in the sixth to make it 7-0, highlighted by Ashley Ryan's Bound Brook scored two harmless runs in the seventh to complete the scoring.
