Total team effort 
Defense, offense, & pitching
drive Fallston Cougars win
 


The Harford Tech Cobras softball team might have felt confident.
 

Jess Moore
After all, they started Thursday off with an unblemished loss record (8-0) in their division, while scheduled to play the Fallston Cougars (7-1) who they had defeated 7-4 previously.

However, Harford Tech is undefeated no more. Yesterday, the tables were turned.

 

Harford Xtreme Showcase junior pitcher Jess Moore worked 7 innings from the circle for Fallston High to trim the Cobras runs down to just four runs this time. Her teammates rallied with three runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh to defeat Harford Tech 8-4.
 

The score was tied after 5 innings at 3 runs each. Jess and her teammates stepped up to bat over the next two innings and drove home 5 runs. Jess was determined to bring home the win and held Harford Tech to only 1 run over the last two innings.
 

Jess credited the team effort for the big win.

“This was truly a team effort, without the defensive plays and offensive hits it could have been a different outcome” said Jess.

Harford Xtreme Showcase freshman pitcher/ OF Lauren Pupa also plays for the Fallston Cougars. She was out for this game with a pulled muscle. Lauren bats in top of the lineup.
