Maconaquah High School Varsity Softball falls to North Miami Middle/High School 10-0
Maconaquah (5-5) falls to North Miami (8-1) at home Monday night. North Miami’s Senior Lauren Duncan pitches a 1 hit shutout against the Braves.
Maconaquah’s only hit on the night was Freshman Shaela Brazzel’s ground rule double over the left field fence.
Coach’s thoughts…”We knew going into tonight that North Miami was a good team at the plate that puts the ball in play. They were super aggressive on the base paths and took advantage of over throws and missed cut off throws. Additionally Duncan has great command in the circle. Our hitters were behind in the count all night. Getting down 0-2 or 1-2 against her is a tough battle. I have to do a better job of getting our girls ready. Our execution at the plate was poor. Our plan was to but the ball in play and we failed to do so, striking out 15 of the 18 outs. We will turn the page, regroup, and keep working. The girls have shown they are a resilient group.”
