Our Lady Falcons came out with a flury of fire putting up 6 runs in the top of the first inning against Bothell last night at Hartman field in the Final for the 2012 KingCo 4A Tournament.  Bothell never had a chance.

In the top of the first, Emily Jackson walked to lead off and Kayla O'Farrell followed with a double over left fielder to put Emily and Kayla on 2nd and 3rd.  Makenna Weir smashed a hard ground out which scored Emily.  Alex Boyd then walked and Sarah Taketa knocked in 2 on a line drive double.  Lauren walked and with her and Sarah on, Alyssa O'Farrell blasted a home run over left field fence to put the Lady Falcons up 6-0.   After batting around in the first inning the Lady Falcons were up 6-0 and off and running.

In the 3rd inning the Lady Falcons put it out of reach with a Lauren Burchak grand-slam home-run to deep center.  Up 12-0 at that point, coach went to the bench to show-off the depth of the team.  Nearly every Lady Falcon then got into the hit parade with Bailey Hicks, Alison Wulfmann and Alex Nelson leading the way producing doubles of their own and by the time the inning was over it was 14-0. 

Madi Schreyer was working all of her pitches last night which kept the Bothell batters off-kilter all night. 

The Lady Falcons had it all going last night to finish their 2012 league season a perfect 22-0 with both 4A KingCo League Championship and 4AKingCo Tournament Championship.  Now off to KingCo 4A State as a #1 seed.

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.
