Coming off of the loss against the CV METS, BLUR faced the D-LITES for the 2nd, and last time, in the regular season. Although BLUR came out on top in the last game against the D-LITES, it wasn’t a decisive, or a pretty, victory. Just the opposite, BLUR exploited the D-LITES’ struggling pitchers to get runs across the plate. Given BLUR’s typical performance during weeknight games, coupled with a lackluster performance in the last game (as well as the D-LITES’ recent victory against the #1 team in the league), it was a big question mark as to whether or not BLUR could bring another win home against the D-LITES. This would be BLUR’s final regulation game before the Tournament of Champions and a loss would lock BLUR in last place. It was time to see what BLUR could do as the umpire got the game started.

D-LITES 4– BLUR 6
5th Inning
Natalie made her 2nd appearance at the rubber in the 5th inning. Leading by 2 points, BLUR was seemingly on their way to their 3rd win of the season.

Needing to close the distance, the 1st D-LITE batter came to the plate swinging. On Natalie’s 1st pitch, the batter took a swing and hit the ball. She sent it dribbling awkwardly on the infield dirt.

D-LITES 4– BLUR 8

Final Score
D-LITES 7– BLUR 8
Game Ball
It was a great win and, more importantly, a great performance by BLUR in this game. There were a lot of great plays everywhere. Some great pitching and great plays on defense. There was even some aggressive and successful base stealing, which put some points on the board for BLUR. It was overall performance and teamwork that brought home the victory. But, there was one person in today’s game that really caught the coaches’ attention. It was not due to points scored or clutch plays. It was more for bringing up her enthusiasm and her hustle and, by extension, her presence in today’s game that won Jessica the game ball. Great job Jessica!
