Colts down Hustlers in Senior Ladies fastball action

Heat, Hustlers use solid offence to take wins over U19 Ice
The weather might have been exceedingly warm this past week, but the offence in the Moose Jaw Senior Ladies Fastball League was even hotter, as three teams cracked double digits in runs.

The Park Hotel Colts opened things with a 14-3 victory on Tuesday, June 29 before the Heat rolled to a 10-0 win and the Hustlers took a 13-2 win over the Under-19 Ice in action on Wednesday, June 30.

The first game of the week saw the Hustlers get off to a fast start, as Kianna Avery hit a lead-off triple and scored on a single by Krissy Rusu, who would score two batters later on a sacrifice by Nicole Ansell.

The 2-0 lead wouldn’t last long, though. The Colts would send 12 batters to the plate in the bottom of the second, cranking out six singles and taking advantage of three errors to score seven runs. 

Avery reached on an error and came around to score in the third, but that would be the last good news for the Hustlers as the Colts tacked on two more in their half of the inning and invoked the mercy rule with a five-run fourth.

Mikayla Swallow was the winning pitcher, with the two first-inning hits the only she’d allow on the night. Swallow helped out her own cause with a 2-for-4 showing at the plate that included a pair of runs scored and two runs batted in.

Del Brentnall was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs and three RBI, while Jasmine Cameron was 3-for-4 with a run and three RBI. Ceanna Bruce and Ally Gallagher also crossed the plate twice each.

Scoring information for the Wednesday games was unavailable.

League action continues Tuesday at the Caribou Heights diamonds, with the Heat facing the Colts at 6:30 p.m. and Hustlers duelling the Assiniboia Aces at 8:30 p.m.
