Transcript
00:00:00 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:00:04 Welcome back to one count.
00:00:06 To lead things off, Gracie Brown and Scambid Bennett, bottom of the third.
00:00:11 Aces down by five, that'll foul it off two and two.
00:00:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:00:16 Well, the aces need some offense, they need it quickly.
00:00:18 So far only a single from Callie Booger.
00:00:20 In the fourth spot, otherwise they have all been retired to this point by Bassett.
00:00:28 Fly ball to left, and another to the ledger.
00:00:31 The shortstop Erringdale goes back for it.
00:00:33 Pop up to the sixth spot, brings it to the nine hole with McGinnis.
00:00:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:00:48 Bassett has been efficient so far.
00:00:53 He's only faced one above the minimum in the second and
00:00:56 is retired seven of the first eight she's seen.
00:01:00 The other was left stranded at first.
00:01:02 McGinnis stares down a ball, one and O.
00:01:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:01:06 Five nothing lead for Molo.
00:01:08 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:01:11 In the bottom half of the third inning.
00:01:13 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:01:17 And it's down for ball two.
00:01:18 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:01:23 I've mentioned this before, but this has been the ideal response.
00:01:27 If you're Moho Lewis.
00:01:28 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:01:31 After a tough loss earlier today in what is now a double header.
00:01:35 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:01:37 Chases wayward for a strike two and one.
00:01:39 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:01:49 Cuts one foul, evens the count.
00:01:55 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:01:57 Home half of the third inning, a five nothing lead for Moho Lewis,
00:02:01 the team in white.
00:02:02 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:02:04 They are the away team today.
00:02:06 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:02:08 One out in the inning.
00:02:09 Nobody on for McGinnis.
00:02:11 The pitch is blown away for ball three.
00:02:15 So now a full count on the nine hole hitter.
00:02:17 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:02:19 This is a prime opportunity to try and pass the bat here for McGinnis.
00:02:23 Excuse me.
00:02:24 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:02:31 Cut on a miss, the first strikeout today for Camden Bassett.
00:02:35 Comes on a three two pitch for the second out of the inning.
00:02:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:02:41 There's a great battle here.
00:02:42 Bassett you see comes in with some heat, just blew it right by her.
00:02:45 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:02:47 There's your second out, first strikeout for Bassett.
00:02:50 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:02:51 As Moho continues to dominate in the early going.
00:02:53 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:03:03 First offering misses for ball one.
00:03:06 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:03:15 And that's zipped in for a strike one and one.
00:03:17 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:03:27 And a dirt ball too.
00:03:32 Five nothing lead for the Moho, bottom of the third.
00:03:37 Ace is trying to formulate some kind of response so far, only a hit.
00:03:40 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:03:49 And Maddie Johnson takes a strike.
00:03:51 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:03:57 Two outs and nobody on for Maddie Johnson.
00:04:00 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:04:02 Count is two and two.
00:04:03 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:04:06 Reaches forward, foul, stays live.
00:04:08 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:04:18 The pitch is bounced up the third base line outside of the paint for a foul.
00:04:30 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:04:40 Carved up in the air to left field.
00:04:49 Three up and three down for Camden Bassett and this Moho group.
00:04:56 They continue to mow down the opponent, a five nothing lead through three.
00:05:00 On to the fourth, here we go.
00:05:02 The inner city of fountains.
00:05:03 [MUSIC]
00:05:13 [MUSIC]
00:05:24 [MUSIC]
00:05:34 [MUSIC]
00:06:01 Moho in cruise control to this point as we go to the fourth, a five nothing lead
00:06:06 over the aces, losers bracket, final winner on to face Nebraska Black in the 16 U
00:06:10 championship.
00:06:11 First pitch ambush in the air to left field and then drops down on green grass.
00:06:17 First swing is a base hit for the nine hole hitter,
00:06:20 Kaitlin Russell, off to a fast start here in the fourth.
00:06:23 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:06:27 That has been one of the biggest changes in the approach of the Moho in this game.
00:06:32 Finds that pitch to hit on the outside corner,
00:06:34 wastes no time, deposits one into left.
00:06:36 And we will see a pinch runner out at first for the nine spot.
00:06:40 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:06:50 This is Chloe Carroll pinch running.
00:06:56 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:06:57 Buttly down, and the throw to first, not in time, she's safe.
00:07:02 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:07:05 Bailey's aboard for the Moho.
00:07:06 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:07:15 That was a bang bang play, but the speed at the top of the order wins out.
00:07:18 In field single for Haley Bailey.
00:07:22 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:07:29 That was down to two in the order with Audrey Cathy.
00:07:31 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:07:41 That's in on the outside corner, an even account.
00:07:48 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:07:50 For two hits to start off this fourth,
00:07:52 it is worth noting a pencil eighth run up at the plate.
00:07:55 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:08:04 Button is placed down.
00:08:06 They will go to third and in time for the out.
00:08:09 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:08:11 What a play by Bugar coming in from first.
00:08:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:08:17 That was a professional throw by the infielder to go get the lead runner.
00:08:20 You see she comes in with all the momentum, sets her feet,
00:08:24 makes an on target throw well in time.
00:08:28 That is quick reaction speed by the first baseman.
00:08:31 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:08:34 So Cathy is safe on a fielder's choice.
00:08:37 Carroll retired going to third.
00:08:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:08:40 Here's the first out of the inning.
00:08:41 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:08:44 Now Bailey's second.
00:08:45 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:08:50 And sends one of the air foul territory, nobody home to grab it.
00:08:54 And I will go down to strike one.
00:08:56 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:09:06 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:09:16 Way high and away for ball two.
00:09:18 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:09:28 And twist one back foul.
00:09:34 Avery Stockwell today has been stellar.
00:09:39 In her first two appearances, three RBI, two hits.
00:09:43 And halfway to hitting for the cycle with a single and a double.
00:09:47 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:09:51 Leaves it outside for ball three.
00:09:52 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:10:02 One hopper foul, we'll come back for another payoff.
00:10:09 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:10:19 The payoff pitch is rolled onto second and
00:10:26 the throw to first in time for the second outrunner's advance.
00:10:31 First time Stockwell has been retired today, still is productive.
00:10:34 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:10:44 Brings in Kenley Atman, opportunity to add on to the lead.
00:10:49 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:10:59 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:11:07 One-0 pitch is inside of the numbers but finds the zone for a strike.
00:11:12 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:11:22 Rice ball is off the plate for ball two.
00:11:27 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:11:37 This is clocked into right center field at the warning track it up against the wall.
00:11:47 Two runs come in for the Moho, a two out, two run double for Kenley Atman.
00:11:53 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:12:01 This is tagged well, great job to square this up over Pillington's head.
00:12:07 That brings in two for the Moho.
00:12:09 That is clutch situational hitting.
00:12:13 And suddenly what could be a run rule territory run
00:12:19 is in scoring position with two gone in the fourth.
00:12:22 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:12:26 First offering is flailed back, Erringdale up to the plate.
00:12:31 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:12:41 Up and away for a ball.
00:12:51 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:13:01 One-one.
00:13:03 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:13:06 That sneaks into the zone for strike two.
00:13:08 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:13:18 One-two pitch is clobbered up in the air and in a foul territory and right.
00:13:23 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:13:33 This is an out certainly the Aces would like to have,
00:13:40 not allow any further damage in this frame.
00:13:43 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:13:49 That's outside for a ball.
00:13:50 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:13:58 This is sent high and deep to left at the warning track.
00:14:08 The catch is made by Osborne.
00:14:10 And that will retire this side.
00:14:13 Two more runs on a two out two run double for Kenley Atwin.
00:14:17 Moho seven, Aces nothing as we head to the home half.
00:14:20 [MUSIC]
00:14:30 [MUSIC]
00:14:40 [MUSIC]
00:14:50 [MUSIC]
00:15:00 [MUSIC]
00:15:10 Bottom of the fourth, Moho Lewis in cruise control.
00:15:28 Seven to nothing over the Aces.
00:15:30 11 hits producing seven runs today.
00:15:33 So far one hitter in the circle for Camden Bassett.
00:15:36 And the Aces want to score here of course could present a situation in the fifth
00:15:42 where they'd be in vulnerable territory if Moho was able to cross another run.
00:15:45 It will be two, three, and four in this inning.
00:15:49 Pillington leads off, floats left on her last trip.
00:15:52 Only the second appearance of the day for Pillington.
00:15:54 It has been efficient so far for Bassett.
00:15:57 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:15:59 That's in the dirt for ball two.
00:16:01 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:16:11 Upper cuts one in the air into shallow center.
00:16:20 Diving attempt, Torres can't get underneath it.
00:16:24 Sidearm sling to first, not in time.
00:16:26 Pillington stretches that into a double to lead off the fourth.
00:16:30 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:16:36 That's a good job.
00:16:36 This one was left over the heart of the plate.
00:16:39 And enough underneath it on the ricochet.
00:16:42 Look at the speed.
00:16:43 Does not hesitate, gets underneath the throw.
00:16:45 Turns that into a two bagger.
00:16:48 It's a great job by Pillington and gives a great opportunity for Carmack.
00:16:52 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:16:56 And Carmack goes opposite way.
00:16:59 It puts a strike on the tally, nothing on the line.
00:17:01 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:17:20 Rifles in a strike.
00:17:22 A little bit over two.
00:17:24 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:17:34 Slashes one to right.
00:17:42 Norvell, camps underneath it.
00:17:44 There's the first down of the inning.
00:17:46 In the throat a second to keep the runner.
00:17:47 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:17:53 Losers bracket final here.
00:17:54 Moho trying to set up a rematch with Nebraska Gold.
00:17:58 15 year squad that prevailed and walk off faster than the eighth earlier today.
00:18:02 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:18:12 Off speed and on the outer black for a strike.
00:18:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:18:24 Cuts one foul behind Owen Tudor.
00:18:35 Callie Bugarth, the only hit so far coming into the inning.
00:18:39 Lead off double currently standing at second.
00:18:43 This is a critical at bat midway through this game.
00:18:46 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:18:56 Wasted outside, one and two.
00:18:58 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:19:08 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:19:13 On the ground through the right side, that's a base hit.
00:19:16 How fast can Pillington run?
00:19:18 Fast enough, she's in to score and the Aces get one back in the fourth.
00:19:23 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:19:30 Sometimes you just have to chip away at it.
00:19:32 Into the perfect spot past three and four.
00:19:36 And Pillington, no problem to get in and cut the lead to six.
00:19:42 RBI single for Callie Bugarth, now two for two.
00:19:47 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:19:50 First offerings a strike to Maddie Foger.
00:19:52 She was grounded out four three on her last trip.
00:19:56 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:20:04 [APPLAUSE]
00:20:10 >> That's a foul ball back.
00:20:11 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:20:33 The O2, it was outside for a ball.
00:20:36 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:20:46 Cut on a miss, it's the second strikeout for Bassett.
00:20:54 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:21:01 That's good pitch selection by Bassett.
00:21:03 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:21:05 High outside corner gets her to chase, good movement at the end.
00:21:08 Just tails away from the hitter.
00:21:10 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:21:11 It's excellent execution.
00:21:13 Foger retired, brings in Osborne.
00:21:15 First hack is waved down the right field line.
00:21:19 Long throw to third, and that skips away an opportunity for the Aces.
00:21:24 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:21:26 In in front of the throw, and that's another back for the Aces.
00:21:29 It's now seven to two.
00:21:31 Meanwhile, backside Osborne all the way to third.
00:21:34 >> Hey, Audrey, once you see the throw's not doing it, come off the bag.
00:21:38 Go take the other one or else.
00:21:39 >> You can't let the ball pass.
00:21:40 >> This is one that you can chalk up as a base hit down the right field line.
00:21:45 A single for Osborne turns into a run on a throwing error to third.
00:21:51 So an E9 brings in an unearned run.
00:21:57 And Osborne off of that throw goes all the way first to third.
00:22:01 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:22:06 So all of a sudden the Aces have found some life in the fourth.
00:22:09 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:22:14 We will see a pinch hitter in this spot.
00:22:16 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:22:26 >> [INAUDIBLE]
00:22:36 >> The Brazil being pinch hit for by number 17.
00:22:42 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:22:52 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:23:02 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:23:12 >> Countdown one and one.
00:23:21 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:23:31 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:23:41 >> And it's popped up straight back for foul, two and two.
00:23:55 >> The Aces trying to keep the two out magic moving.
00:24:01 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:24:04 Two runs in this inning, an E9 and an RBI single from Bugart the difference.
00:24:09 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:24:14 The handle stays alive.
00:24:15 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:24:23 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:24:33 Down to the dirt for a ball, three and two now.
00:24:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:24:41 Mesa's trying to battle back into this game.
00:24:43 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:24:53 Flail to miss on three, two, a payoff pitch for the strikeout for Camden Bassett.
00:24:58 It's her third and it retires the side.
00:25:01 The Aces get two runs in climbing back into it midway through.
00:25:06 We are on to the fifth in Kansas City,
00:25:08 a good one here in the losers bracket final of the World Fast Pitch Championships.
00:25:13 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:25:23 [MUSIC]
00:25:34 >> I know you up there, kid.
00:25:36 [MUSIC]
00:25:46 [APPLAUSE]
00:25:50 [MUSIC]
00:25:55 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:25:58 [MUSIC]
00:26:23 >> It has been defense on display at times as we get the first out of the inning.
00:26:28 A slow roller to first, one to three.
00:26:30 And it's a quick trip to start off the fifth inning.
00:26:33 Here in Kansas City, losers bracket finals between the Aces and the Moho.
00:26:38 Currently a seven to two lead for the Moho, went up seven, nothing early.
00:26:43 But the Aces get two runs back in the fourth as we go to the away half of the fifth.
00:26:48 High fly ball in the air to short and that pop up will put the first rather second out.
00:26:54 It has been quick work here from his defense in the fifth.
00:26:59 Two quick outs on the heels of two runs.
00:27:01 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:27:04 It's Kylie Norvell up to the plate.
00:27:06 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:27:19 Rocking the toss.
00:27:20 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:27:24 Misses for a ball.
00:27:25 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:27:35 Count is 0 and 1 here on Kylie Norvell.
00:27:47 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:27:54 The 1-1.
00:27:57 Line drive back up the middle and that hits it on the screws for a base knock.
00:28:01 Kylie Norvell has her first hit, a two out single in the fifth.
00:28:05 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:28:08 And is well enough here to just get into this one and make something happen for her team.
00:28:13 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:28:16 Gets a board for the Moho team.
00:28:18 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:28:29 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:28:39 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:28:47 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:28:53 Double play to retire, or the lead runner rather, to retire the side.
00:28:58 That'll take us to the middle of five, still the Moho seven.
00:29:01 The Aces to a 1-2-3 inning for the team in gray.
00:29:04 [MUSIC]
00:29:12 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:29:22 [MUSIC]
00:29:32 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:29:36 [MUSIC]
00:29:46 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:29:56 [MUSIC]
00:30:06 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:30:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:30:24 Bottom of the fifth here in Kansas City,
00:30:28 Moho Lewis with a 7-2 lead already 12 hits in this game.
00:30:33 Trying to keep it a five run cushion as Bassett is back into the circle.
00:30:38 1-2-3 inning on the other side for the Aces.
00:30:40 Suddenly they have some life.
00:30:42 Here in the losers bracket final.
00:30:44 It was an early 7-0 lead for Moho, but they have rebounded.
00:30:48 Found a way to get a little bit back in it.
00:30:51 8, 9, and 1 in the order scheduled for the Aces in this frame.
00:30:55 Gracie Brown will lead things off.
00:30:57 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:31:07 Count is 1-1.
00:31:25 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:31:32 Cuts on the outside corner for strike two.
00:31:34 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:31:49 This is popped up and made a foul ground.
00:31:52 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:32:02 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:32:12 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:32:23 Getting the softball sorted out.
00:32:25 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:32:35 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:32:39 Ground ball to third and the throw to first in time.
00:32:42 The first out of the inning.
00:32:44 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:32:54 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:33:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:33:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:33:19 That brings in Avery McGinnis.
00:33:21 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:33:26 Who struck out back in the third.
00:33:28 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:33:30 Uppercut's one and deposits it into left center field for a base hit.
00:33:34 McGinnis turns it over with the single and underneath the tag to stretch it into two.
00:33:40 Great speed by McGinnis, looked like a single, but turns on the Jets and gets herself in a scoring position.
00:33:48 This is a great job to whack this opposite way, rather pulled it into left center field.
00:33:54 Got aggressive on the base paths and just underneath the bare hand tag attempt by mere inches, she's safe.
00:34:03 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:34:05 That's a great job by her to stretch that into a double.
00:34:08 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:34:18 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:34:23 And so on one, back to the top of the order with Maddie Johnson.
00:34:26 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:34:36 [INAUDIBLE]
00:34:46 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:34:56 [INAUDIBLE]
00:35:03 One-one is pasted out to short, sidearm shovel in time for two.
00:35:09 A six-four double play to end the inning.
00:35:14 You can't do it much smoother than that.
00:35:17 Herringdale with the stop for the first out on the diving attempt and the flip to Bailey to make it two.
00:35:26 Everything going the way of the moho today, the defense dazzling.
00:35:31 It'll send us to the other half.

00:37:02 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:37:05 Ground ball out to second and the nailing stop followed by the throw to first is in time for the out.
00:37:11 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:37:13 So the aces get one on the board.
00:37:17 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:37:33 Quickly two away.
00:37:35 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:37:41 Brings an Aubrey, Audrey Cathy.
00:37:44 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:37:54 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:38:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:38:24 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:38:44 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:38:54 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:39:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:39:24 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:39:44 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:39:54 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:40:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:40:24 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:40:34 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:40:44 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:40:54 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:41:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:41:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:41:24 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:41:28 >> Okay, you should be getting that one.
00:41:30 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:41:40 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:41:50 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:42:00 And that's in for a strike.
00:42:02 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:42:14 And that's outside and that'll be a ball two and two.
00:42:18 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:42:28 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:42:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:42:48 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:42:52 And that'll load them up.
00:42:54 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:42:57 Keep in mind for the Moho, if they were to score three runs,
00:43:01 it would put them in run rule territory.
00:43:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:43:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:43:16 That'll prompt a meeting in the circle.
00:43:19 And this might be a call to the bullpen, it looks like it will be.
00:43:23 So while the new pitcher, well, it may not be, hold on.
00:43:28 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:43:30 There was some action in the bullpen.
00:43:32 We'll see if they do indeed make the switch.
00:43:35 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:43:37 As if now they have not gone away.
00:43:39 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:43:46 And they will keep number nine in.
00:43:48 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:43:52 Erringdale first offering is out at second.
00:43:55 And the tough play is.
00:43:58 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:44:06 They're gonna bring everybody back.
00:44:08 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:44:12 And was this interference, I believe it was, on the runner.
00:44:16 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:44:25 So runner's interference is called.
00:44:28 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:44:34 And Torres is up to the plate, bases are still loaded.
00:44:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:45:06 And dips in.
00:45:08 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:45:10 But just a little outside.
00:45:12 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:45:22 On one hop back to the circle.
00:45:24 And the throw is in time at first.
00:45:26 Gets out of a bases loaded jam.
00:45:28 It remains the Mojo 7.
00:45:30 And the ace is 2, middle of 6 here in Kansas City.
00:45:34 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:45:38 Do you wanna play like a pro?
00:45:40 Stand out, be different on and off the field.
00:45:43 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:45:47 Custom gear, look and feel.
00:45:49 Welcome to the pro experience.
00:45:51 New Balance Team Sports.

00:46:22 [MUSIC]
00:46:32 [MUSIC]
00:46:42 [MUSIC]
00:46:52 [MUSIC]
00:46:58 It's the Mojo 7 and the ace is 2, 13 hits for Mojo Lewis to this point.
00:47:04 And the ace is 5.
00:47:05 The aces have been able to extend this game, climb back into it.
00:47:09 But it has been a five run deficit for the aces to this point.
00:47:13 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:47:15 And a new pitcher into the circle for the Mojo.
00:47:19 This is Wilson who steps in.
00:47:21 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:47:23 So this was a great outing for Bassett.
00:47:25 Five innings, collected three strikeouts.
00:47:29 Only allowed one earned run on four hits, or rather five.
00:47:35 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:47:41 Ground ball to short.
00:47:42 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:47:44 And safe, an infield single on the first to face Wilson.
00:47:49 Pillington is aboard.
00:47:50 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:47:54 Good placement of this infield single just wide of the circle.
00:47:57 That's a tough throw for Erringdale, the shortstop.
00:47:59 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:48:02 And the ace is trying to rally down the stretch.
00:48:05 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:48:29 And carves in for a strikeout and one.
00:48:32 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:48:44 Underneath the one in the center, Torres stands in for it.
00:48:48 Put the first out away.
00:48:50 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:48:54 Was a 7-0 lead for the Mojo.
00:48:56 Aces battle back with two runs of their own in the fourth.
00:49:00 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:49:02 They have been sitting on that seven runs early, the Mojo have, to this point.
00:49:06 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:49:10 Aces still have five outs to work with to try and make up a five-run deficit.
00:49:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:49:18 Wanders outside for ball one.
00:49:20 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:49:22 That's gonna bounce back by Wilson.
00:49:25 Getting that first down in this inning after permitting a new field single.
00:49:28 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:49:34 One-0 is up top.
00:49:35 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:49:50 Blown away for ball three.
00:49:52 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:50:07 And that misses ball four.
00:50:09 Two on board for the Aces here in the sixth.
00:50:12 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:50:35 Fouled off here by Maddie Foger.
00:50:37 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:50:47 Purple and gray trying to stage a rally.
00:50:49 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:50:51 Wilson's 0-1.
00:50:52 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:50:54 He's sliced up foul.
00:50:56 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:51:15 Cuts through it for a strike.
00:51:17 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:51:18 And that is strike three.
00:51:20 First strikeout out of the pen for Wilson.
00:51:22 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:51:25 There's a good mix of pitches here.
00:51:27 Just goes ahead and guns the gas.
00:51:30 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:51:32 Up her speeds there to get her first strikeout and the second out of this inning.
00:51:36 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:51:41 First offering to Osborne is low.
00:51:44 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:51:47 This is an opportunity here for the Aces, and if you're gonna get back into this game, stage some kind of rally.
00:51:52 First and second in the sixth, this is a prime opportunity to do so.
00:51:57 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:52:04 Jams went off the netting.
00:52:07 And we'll come back for one and one.
00:52:09 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:52:28 The one-one pitch.
00:52:30 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:52:52 Line shot to short and the catch is made.
00:52:54 Arendale comes over for the squeeze, another excellent grab by the shortstop, retires the side.
00:53:00 The Aces strand two, and it sends us to the seventh, still seven to two, with a Mojo out in front.
00:53:07 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:53:17 [MUSIC]
00:53:27 [MUSIC]
00:53:37 [MUSIC]
00:53:47 [MUSIC]
00:53:57 [MUSIC]
00:54:07 [MUSIC]
00:54:16 Seven to two in the seventh, the Mojo trying to advance back to the championship out of the losers' bracket
00:54:22 after taking a tough one and eight earlier today.
00:54:25 First pitch is roped to third, and Ruby Collins equipped trip here in the seventh.
00:54:30 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:54:38 So the Aces are efficient.
00:54:40 They've kind of figured it out defensively as this game has rolled along.
00:54:44 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:54:52 And that pumps in for a strike.
00:54:55 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:55:07 And it's 0-2.
00:55:09 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:55:23 Off the handle for a foul, stays alive at 0-2.
00:55:26 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:55:40 Twists outside for a foul.
00:55:42 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:55:44 There she is before a ball.
00:55:46 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:55:56 And clobbers one foul out to the camera person third base side.
00:56:01 Big thank you to our entire crew helping today's production be possible, both on site and remote.
00:56:07 It's been a true team effort today to get this broadcast on the airwaves.
00:56:12 A 1-2.
00:56:16 Reaches for it, protecting the plate at 1-2, another opposite way foul.
00:56:20 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:56:36 1-2 in the air, foul ground, down the right field line this time.
00:56:42 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:56:59 On the ground, back up the middle and into center field.
00:57:03 A one out single for Kylie Norvell.
00:57:08 As the Mojo look for insurance here in the seventh.
00:57:11 A long at bat by Norvell just fighting, protecting the plate, looking for that pitch to hit and finds it on a bouncing ball back into center.
00:57:20 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:57:28 In the air, right field, stretching out for the catch, it's Foger.
00:57:34 And back to first, not in time to turn two, but a great grab on the outfield for the second out.
00:57:40 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:57:45 She got all the way back to chase this one down.
00:57:47 That is not easy battling the sun trying to track that ball over your shoulder.
00:57:53 That's a great job by Foger out and right.
00:58:03 Snaps the outside corner, nothing on one.
00:58:07 So back to the top of the order with Bailey.
00:58:09 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:58:19 Against the call for strike two.
00:58:23 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:58:33 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:58:53 Hard hit to short and got by her.
00:58:57 That's another base hit with two outs here in the seventh.
00:59:00 So Bailey aboard, Mojo just looking for cushion.
00:59:06 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:59:10 Just did a good job to hit this hard enough.
00:59:12 Maddie Johnson got ate up by it.
00:59:14 One you'd certainly want to have back.
00:59:17 Home port of the learning experience.
00:59:20 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:59:30 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:59:55 Smokes one foul.
01:00:00 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:00:11 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:00:25 Tails off for a ball.
01:00:27 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:00:40 And drops in for a strike, three and two.
01:00:43 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:00:54 Payoff pitch on the way.
01:00:58 Aces sent to second and clamped in by McGinnis.
01:01:03 So the Mojo leave two on base.
01:01:06 Last chance to dance for the Aces here in the Losers Bracket Finals.
01:01:10 Winner on to the championship to face Nebraska Gold.
01:01:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:01:17 >> One thing that I always look for is the grip and how good it is.
01:01:20 Another thing too is how big the sweet spot is.
01:01:23 Just knowing like even if I do get jammed,
01:01:25 if I have a big enough sweet spot I could still possibly get away with something.
01:01:29 The mantra sweet spot will give people that extra that they need in the ball.
01:01:34 [MUSIC]
01:01:36 Nothing sounds better than a mantra when you make solid contact with it.
01:01:40 You just hear the.
01:01:41 [MUSIC]
01:01:47 [MUSIC]
01:01:57 [MUSIC]
01:02:07 [MUSIC]
01:02:17 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:02:21 >> Bottom of the seventh, Wilson in the circle for Mojo Lewis.
01:02:25 Seven runs on 15 hits today offensively.
01:02:28 The Aces just two runs down five.
01:02:31 In the final frame, it'll be the bottom of the order with Tori Brazil,
01:02:35 scheduled to originally lead off.
01:02:36 Instead it's number 17 who came in to pinch it earlier,
01:02:39 remained in the game as a substitution.
01:02:41 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:02:43 She will lead things off.
01:02:44 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:02:55 Wavers high for.
01:02:56 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:02:58 Ball one.
01:02:59 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:03:11 Off the handle and look out in the on deck circle.
01:03:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:03:42 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:03:52 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:03:56 >> Two is over the plate for a ball, counts full now.
01:03:59 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:04:01 >> Both teams fighting to keep their week alive.
01:04:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:04:14 >> Waves to it and that's strike three.
01:04:16 First rather second strikeout for Wilson.
01:04:19 >> Comes here on the bottom of the seventh.
01:04:22 >> And the leadoff batter retired off the keg.
01:04:24 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:04:28 >> Job goes over the swing.
01:04:29 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:04:32 >> Strikeouts on a ledger for her.
01:04:36 Gracie Brown steps in.
01:04:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:05:02 >> Cuts on it, strike two.
01:05:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:05:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:05:19 >> And back to back strikeouts for Wilson.
01:05:23 And the Mojo are one out away.
01:05:25 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:05:29 >> I think it's her chase this one low.
01:05:31 >> She's on the last sequence, went high with it to the top shelf.
01:05:34 This time goes low with it.
01:05:36 Elicits that strikeout.
01:05:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:06:06 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:06:11 >> That's a ball two now.
01:06:13 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:06:16 >> This is an Aces fast pitch team that has fought their way to this point.
01:06:22 They've had a phenomenal week.
01:06:24 Mojo one out away from extending it.
01:06:26 And that hit her, so it'll last at least one more at bat.
01:06:30 As McGinnis is aboard off of the hit by pitch.
01:06:34 Turns back over to Maddie Johnson at the top of the order.
01:06:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:06:56 >> First offering to Johnson.
01:06:58 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:07:02 >> Pumped in for a strike.
01:07:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:07:21 >> Bends in and they're one strike away.
01:07:23 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:07:38 >> Cut on and missed and that's the ball game.
01:07:40 The fourth strikeout for Wilson and the Mojo battle back to take their second game of the day,
01:07:46 seven to two and extend their week in Kansas City.
01:07:50 What a way to punctuate it, an onslaught of offense early.
01:07:55 The defense clamps down throughout, only permitting two runs since that early lead.
01:08:01 And they take it over the Aces.
01:08:04 Great performance by both teams today.
01:08:07 We'll have more softball action for you in just a little bit from Kansas City.
01:08:11 But until then, for our producer Alex, our entire USSS 18, both on and off site,
01:08:16 so long from the World Fast Pitch Championships.
01:08:20 This has been a presentation of USSS A Live.
01:08:23 Be sure to tune in later.
01:08:25 Again, your final score for a final time, the Mojo Lewis 7 and the Aces 2.
01:08:30 So long and enjoy the rest of your Friday afternoon.
