Stepping Up: Frosh Griffin Helps Patriots Win 4-0
Freshman Brittany Griffin had her best game of the season at the plate by going 2-2 with a sacrifice bunt that played a key role in scoring the games first two runs as Park View defeated last year's AAA state finalist, Stone Bridge by a score of 4-0. After Laura Heironimus and Kareisa Hidy singled to start the fifth inning, Britt's bunt moved both runners into scoring position. Amber Dudek drew an important walk to load the bases and freshman Sammy Gleason walked on four straight pitches to force in the first run. Emily Garcia then ripped a single to center to score Kareisa Hidy. Nichole Pitcock brought in the third run with a sacrifice fly to right. The Patriots added an insurance run in the sixth when Amber Dudek drove in Felicia Price with a solid single to right. Senior Nichole Pitcock pitched out of jams in the first three innings before settling in and taking control of the game. She struck out 8 and walked three while giving up 5 hits.
Park View's record is now 12-3 (11-1 District).
Park View visits Loudoun Valley tomorrow afternoon.
