WHAT ARE THEY SAYING:
"All of our freshman played today," Bucs head coach Sean Cotter said. "The 12 freshman are definitely gaining experience. Sometimes it's more expensive experience than we would like it to be. We would like to get to the point were it's not costly, but tip your cap to Flagler. They're a good team. We gave up some runs early and we came up short," Cotter said.
SUMMARY:
Game One
- B3 - After Karla Santiago drew a four pitch walk, Ayana Andrade-Zygmunt moved Santiago over on a sac bunt to the Saints' first baseman. Santiago would stay stranded on second. | FC 0, Barry 0
- T5 - The Saints picked up their only run of the game when Garland Evans singled through the right side and scored Zoe Mooney who was pinch-running for Jaclyn Mijuskovic. | FC 1, Barry 0
SUMMARY:
Game Two
- T1 - Flager struck right away in game two against Bucs starting pitcher Gabby Vallee, but she was able to get out of the inning allowing just one run on two hits. | FC 1, Barry 0
- T3 - Natalie Murphy had a two-run home run changed to a ground-rule double when Berlin Colvin was unable to field the ball as it was lodged between the fence and the signage attached to the fence. The Saints would go on to tack on three more runs in the inning. | FC 4, Barry 0
- T6 - Cotter put in Andrea Johnson to pitch in relief for Vallee in the fourth inning. The Delaware native walked the first two Saints in the inning and gave up an unearned run to Flager on an error by the Bucs. | FC 5, Barry 0
- B6 - Colvin recorded her first of two hits when she doubled down the right field line. Arianna Diaz would single back to the pitcher and Santiago walked, loading the bases for Lynsey Duncan. Duncan recorded her 14th double of the season - she leads the Sunshine State Conference - which would clear the bases for Barry. | FC 5, Barry 3.
