9 run 7th inning powers Mustangs over Canterbury

What a game!

Millbrook got on the board in the first, after Natalia Danyluk’s triple scored Tommi Nash.  Canterbury evened the game 1-1 in the bottom of the first. The score stayed 1-1 through the bottom of the third, when Canterbury strung some hits together to take a 4-1 lead. 

Millbrook countered the Canterbury offensive in the top of the 5th, plating 5. Abby Hylan started things off with a single, followed by a hit from Jess Trocchio. The Mustangs then rallied with two outs - Nash had a single, Danyluk had a double, Danielle Singer reached base, as did Evelynn Najork and Aaliyah Almeida. 6-4 Millbrook lead at the bottom of the 5th. 

Canterbury then countered the big Millbrook inning, plating 4 of their own runs in the bottom of the 6th. 8-6 Canterbury lead going into the 7th. 

The Millbrook bats got HOT in the top of the 7th - Danyluk doubled, followed by singles from Najork, Almeida, Trocchio, Reed, and Tran. Danyluk got to the plate again and hit a single, with Singer singling, Najork doubling, and Almeida singling. Heads up baserunning and great hitting from the Mustangs allowed them to score 9 in that frame. 

Entering the bottom of the 7th with a 15-8 lead, the Mustangs hoped to shut down the Saints offense - but Canterbury had other plans on their Senior Day. A few mistakes and awkwardly placed balls allowed the Saints to load the bases, setting the plate for a big hit to score 3 with two outs. Another big hit scored a fourth run. The next hitter came up with a big line drive to centerfield, where An Tran was ready - she fielded the ball on one hop and threw it to Tommi Nash to catch the Canterbury runner trying to take third. A great throw and a great tag! 

15-12 Millbrook win! 

We are hoping to get a bid to the Class C WNEPSGBA playoffs and carry this momentum into the postseason!
