The two Charlotte's--Putnam (L) and Vargas--
display their self-chosen nickname during
the 11-1 semifinal.
Third baseman Ellie Thomson, a freshman,
gloves a grounder in the bottom of the first...
...then makes an accurate throw to first
to retire Erandi Perez (not in view) of
Orange Glen to end the inning.
Ella Pearl pitched a one-run gem for six innings,
allowing four hits and striking out four.
She gave up one walk and one intentional walk
after the Vikings allowed 22 walks the day
before. Pearl hit two home runs in Tuesday's
game, a 14-8 win by the Patriots, setting up
Wednesday's winner-goes-to-the-finals thriller.
Ella Pearl (30), hitting in the second slot, blasts
a drive to right-centerfield (to right of palm trees
in the photo) that bounces over the outfield fence
for a ground-rule double, driving in Savannah
Putnam with the Vikings' first run. The action
came in the bottom of the first.
LJ leadoff hitter Savannah Putnam beats out
a grounder to third baseman Maribel Rodriguez
in the bottom of the first inning. The hit came
off Addie Bruzzi (11, background far right), a senior
who was a one-person show for the Patriots:
she pitched a 14-8 win Tuesday and hit a home run
Wednesday.
