Late Rally, Crush Wins (9-22-11)

Cass County Central 4, Falls City 0
For six innings Cass County Central pitcher Heather Hauschild and Falls City’s Claire Poppe battled, allowing one and two hits, respectively, in a 0-0 tie.

But in the final inning, it was the Tigers who blinked first as the Cass County Central rolled to a 4-0 win over Falls City at Dallas Jones Park.

With one out in the last inning, C4’s Carlee Derby started the rally by launching a triple over the Tigers’ left-fielder then scored on a Falls City error when Cody Meyer’s ground ball bunt was thrown over the third baseman’s head, leaving Cass County Central with a 1-0 lead and Meyer on third.

The Crush loaded the bases when Falls City, not wanting Meyer to score, held onto bunt attempts by Jordyn GIles and Haley Johnson. LeighAnn Novotny then went to the plate and blasted a two-run single to right-center scoring Meyer and Giles with Johnson scoring the final C4 run on a Hauschild sacrifice fly.

Pitching with a 4-0 lead, Hauschild, Cass County Central’s ace, set down the Tigers in order in the bottom of the seventh on two ground outs and her tenth strikeout of the game for her second complete game shut-out of the season.

“This was a good one to win,” said Crush co-head coach, Lindsay Brinkman. “We fought hard for this one.”

With the victory, C4 improves to 11-8 on the year while Falls City’s record drops to 13-9. Cass County Central’s next action will be at the ECNC Tournament this Saturday when the Crush face Johnson County Central in opening round action at 10:00.
