It was the bottom of the final scheduled inning of the game, with two outs, and bases loaded in a tied ballgame. A single was all that was needed to seal the game for the Heartbreakers. When asked what was going through the head of catcher Gracie Hall she said, "I was just thinking, I want to get her out." Sure enough the ball was hit to the infield and the throw was made into Hall for the third out to force extra innings. The Fireballs went on to score one final run the next inning and that was all that was needed to clinch the victory. Later, Hall, speaking of the victory said, "Well, I was really excited, and then Grandma was telling me how she used to be catcher and that if I didn't catch that ball, we wouldn't have won...So then, I was really, really excited."
The Fireballs, now on a two game winning streak, face rival Miss B'Haven Monday April, 13 at 7:45 on Field 2. Could the 13th be found to be an unlucky number for Miss B'Haven? If Hall and the Fireballs have anything to do with it, it will. Tickets are still available.
