Lady Falcons Win 2012 KingCo 4A League Title with 8-1 Victory Over Newport

Posted by Rob OFarrell on May 14 2012 at 05:00PM PDT in 2019 JV

At a beautiful evening at Hartman Park in Redmond, our Lady Falcons put their 20-0 record on the line in the annual KingCo #1 Crown vs KingCo #1 Crest game to decide the outright KingCo Champion.

Newport jumped out to an early lead with a little help from two uncharacteristic errors by the Woodinville infield to help put Newport up 1-0 in the bottom of the 2nd innning. Though the top of the 3rd Woodinville would strike back quickly. Keelin Davis jumped on the first pitch and drove a long home run to left center to make it a 1-1 tie. Kayla O'Farrell then stroked a line drive single to left center and Makenna Weir came up to smash a perfect line drive double to the wall to score Kayla. Lady Falcons up 2-1.

Madi Schreyer came out and delivered all night. With Newport pumped up, the excitement and pressure mounted on a few occasions where Newport was able to get runners on base. Madi focused in and dug a little deeper. In a situation in the 5th, Madi had runners at 1st and 2nd and Bridgette Rafferty, who is Newports biggest hitter, at the plate. Madi showed her the rise ball at 63, then 64, then 65 mph. With Bridgette just getting a piece of it Madi decided to put a little more into it and brought the next one 65+. Needless to say that sent the Newport banger back to the dugout and recorded one of 10 strikeouts for Madi.

After that performance by Madi in the bottom of the 5th, the Lady Falcons came up in the 6th to do more damage. Alex Boyd leads off with a bomb Home Run to deep center to put the Lady Falcons up 3-1.  Alyssa O'Farrell then hits a sharp single to right center and Keelin Davis gets her third hit of the night and smokes a double to right center to score Alyssa from first base putting Woodinville up 4-1.

In the top of the 7th, Kayla O'Farrell led off with a 9 pitch at bat finally drawing a walk.  Makenna Weir too draws a walk and Lauren Burchak moves them over to 2nd and 3rd.  Sara Taketa walks to load the bases for Alex Boyd.  Wanting very little to do with the KingCo Home Run leader, Newport chooses to pitch around her and walk in another run.  With two outs and bases loaded, Alyssa O'Farrell drives a deep one-hop to the fence double to clear the bases and put 3 more runs on the board to make it 8-1.

Madi shut Newport down in the bottom of the 7th getting a 6-3 ground out by Mak on the final play. 

Woodinville now waits until Thursday to play in the Final of the KingCo Tournament for a #1 or #2 berth to KingCo 4A State in Spokane.

2012 KingCo 4A Champs!
