Nice weather?

10:56

Sunny, so no worries about weather delaying things. A little cool for me in the shade where the press sits, but nice in the sun for the fans and players.

10:58

Just about to start. Clio leading off against Niles pitcher Jenna Ignowski. Clio's lineup is: Stacey VanFleet (RF), Kayla Gonyea (2B), Katie Moore (SS), Kayla Mitchell (3B), Stevie Cuttitta (P), Jessica Keeler (CF), Tami Weber (C), Ammanda Centilli (1B), Mackenzie Brown (LF).

Stacey VanFleet of Clio strikes out to open the game.

11:00

Clio's Kayla Gonyea hits a double over the head of center fielder Charissa Spear with one out in the top of the first. Katie Moore pops out to second base on the first pitch. Two outs, runner on second.

11:01

Clio's Kayla Mitchell also goes for the first pitch and lines it up the middle, scoring Kayla Gonyea from second base with two outs. Clio leads 1-0. We didn't need 21 innings to get a run in this game, like Tuesday when Clio outlasted Petoskey 1-0 in 21 innings.

11:02

Stevie Cuttitta grounds out to third to end the inning. Clio scores 1 run on 2 hits.

11:04

Niles' lineup against pitcher Stevie Cuttita: Nellie Coquillard (2B), Jenna Ignowski (P), Maggie Ernsberger (C), Heather Daniels (RF), Brittney Buti (SS), Demi Schrader (1B), Sophie Nielsen (LF), Erica Gordon (3B), Charissa Spear (CF).

11:05

Nellie Coquillard grounds out to shortstop Katie Moore to start the bottom of the first for Niles. It'll be interesting to see if Clio pitcher Stevie Cuttitta has her good stuff today after going 21 innings Tuesday. She struck out 22 in that game, none after the 18th inning. Jenna Ignowski, her pitching counterpart, just lined a single through the box. Runner on first, one out for Niles.
