Cambridge Bears vs. Sprayberry  August 26

The Lady Bears took to the road in a region game against Sprayberry on Tuesday, August 26. The team had an outstanding start, scoring 7 runs in the first 2 innings with hits from Lily Valeo, Keara Napoli, Courtney Campbell, Abigail Wilson, and Diggy Dixon. The Yellow Jackets were able to get on the board on an error in the second inning and scored twice.  Failing to ever give up, Sprayberry notched 3 more runs in the 6th and went on to tie the game in the 7th inning at 7-7.

This game became a real nail biter as the Lady Bears would head into an International Tie Breaker.  According to the rules, a runner starts out on second base.  Keara Napoli hit a single and moved the runner to 3rd.  So with runners at 1st and 3rd, #15 Courtney Campbell stepped up to the plate.  On an 0-2 pitch, she blasted one out of the park to put the Bears up, 10-7.  It was an incredible shot at the just the right moment.  Coach Chip Flemmer: "Courtney Campbell's 3-run homerun against Sprayberry was a huge lift!  We had given up a 7-run lead, and our energy was just gone until the homerun as well as a phenomenal diving catch by right fielder and freshmen Jensen Cheshire."  The Lady Bears would head to the bottom of the 8th with solid defense and held on to win by a final score of 10-8.
