New Haven vs. Linn: Shamrock Senior Night

10/12/2014

 
   The Shamrock softball team had their final home game for the 2014 season on Monday, October 7th. This meant that after the JV game, the senior Shamrock girls would have their senior night. The Wildcats have played on New Haven’s soil before, although not against the Shamrocks. They received second place in the New Haven Invitational Tournament earlier in the season.
   The girls knew they would have to really “bring it” for their game to beat this well-rounded team. The first inning seemed to fly by, with the Shamrocks getting three outs in the field easily and then going up to bat. This is where the team “hit” a problem. The pitcher for Linn had a lot of movement, and when the Shamrocks went up to bat, they could not quite make contact. When asked about the pitching and hitting of her team, Emily Scheer said, “The pitcher was really good and had speed; we have been used to slower pitching in the last couple games. We really need to hit the middle of the ball and drive it. We also need to focus when we are up to bat and want to hit and not walk.”
   Although there were not many hits made, or bases loaded, the Shamrocks made great plays for their defense and managed to hold the Wildcats at five runs. Coach Scheer said, “Don’t stop playing now! We still have districts, and you girls definitely have a chance. This isn’t over.”
   The rest of the night continued, with the Junior Varsity playing and losing 8-0. Afterwards, the seniors gathered around their teammates on the field, and each senior was given their gifts from their parents, as well as their teammates. The Shamrocks will be losing Tenille Duessler, Cortanie Gale, Carlie Steinbeck, Lindsey Nixon, and Molly Munsinger after this season. Many tears were shed in this moment, and the girls came together one last time on their field for a team photo. This ended the night, though surely it will continue to live on in their memories. The Shamrocks will now face the Wellsville Tigers in Districts for what could possibly be their last game.     -by Tenille Duessler
