Upper Arlington - 3
Central Crossing - 2
UA Pitched Abbruzzese, CC pitched Dorsey
CC scored 2 in 1st inning (2 errors, walk & base hit)
UA scored 1 in 5th, 1 in 6th and 1 in 7th
I almost left when I saw that Upper Arlington didn't pitch Plant, because Central Crossing should have won easily. Then I saw what unfortunately has become a trademark of Central Ohio Softball - 2 unearned runs on should of been 3 errors - but infield fly nulified the drop UUUGGGGLLLYYY.
I am glad I stayed as at least the pitchers duel was very nice to watch, especially seeing 2 touted freshman go at it. It was a shame both pitchers were subjected to poor defense as they were on their games.
I can't see UA though as a contender until they hit the ball - they have some players 3-5 that can swing the bat hard, and a speedster batting second, but that is it. IMHO Central Crossing is the much better team, better athletes, better sticks, they just melted down and that UA freshman reminded me so much of Lori Randolph.
