Grand Valley Tigerettes drop game to Prescott
Grand Valley's Tigerettes lost a 24-12 battle with Prescott in South Central Six conference action in Prescott June 11.
The Tigerettes went out to an 8-6 lead in the game, which saw 21 free bases handed out by the pitchers. Prescott
came back to lead 9-8 in the bottom of the second, so the Tigerettes added four runs to lead 12-9. A seven-run
third inning for Prescott put the game out of reach and eight more runs in the eighth ended the game on the 12-run rule right
there. Debbie HARRIS, who has been hitting consistently for the Tigerettes all season, picked up a single. Teresa GAGE
and Jeannie VANDERFLUGHT had the other Tigerette hits. "Our pitching has been weak this summer, even though Stacy SHAUB
has worked hard to improve," Coach Sharon WHITSON said. SHAUB pitched the first three innings and part of the fourth,
striking out two, walking eight, hitting a batter and yielding seven hits. Teresa GAGE came on in relief, walking four.
Prescott used two pitchers as well and was led by Dan DODGE in hitting with a pair of singles.
