Barlow JV opener

Joel Barlow JV softball season opener

 

Joel Barlow Junior Varsity softball team opened its season against Masuk High and got off to a great start scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the 1st inning on a home run to right center off the bat of Zoe Marcelino driving in Jordan Williams and Margot Angelo who had both singled. Masuk answered in the top of the 2nd with 3 runs on a walk issued by Barlow pitcher Kimberly Uzwiak and then a huge double to left field from Masuk batter Maki and then 2 unfortunate errors by Barlow defenders let in 2 more runs. Uzwiak then struck out the side to end the inning.

Masuk continued to take advantage of a few Barlow errors which allowed them to score 7 runs in the 3rd inning. Barlow scored 2 more runs in the 5th inning with a lead off single and then stealing both 2nd and 3rd bases. Uzwiak then laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt which scored Williams. Margot Angelo then doubled and Anna Rakich singled her in. Barlow held off Masuk in the 6th and Uzwiak struck out the side in the 7th ending the Masuk offense.
