Woodinville fastpitch fans are feeling a liitle De Ja Vu as this years Falcons are looking alot like the 2005 team that went undefeated and won a State championship. In this week's prep zone King 5 's Chris Egan is "Knocking on Wood" in Woodinville.

Keelin Davis allowed 2 runs on 7 hits through 6 innings last night in Redmond as our Lady Falcons pounded the ball all night long for a 12-2 win. 

Emily Jackson led off the first inning with a solo home-run to left field on her way to a 3 hit performance.   Nicole Versace was driving doubles and driving in runs all night long going 3 for 4 and Alex Boyd capped it off with another long home run to right center which highlighted her 3 for 4 night as well.  Accounting for 9 of the 12 RBI's between Emily, Nicole and Alex.  Alyssa O'Farrell contributed 2 of the RBI's with a sac fly and a double to right.  Sara Taketa and Kayla O'Farrell each chipped in for 2 hits and 2 runs each.  With 17 hits the Lady Falcons were all getting into the action last night.

Now a few days off for spring break.  Back at it Monday against Newport. 

In a long night of frustration at the plate, the Lady Falcons finally get it going in the bottom of the 7th inning when Madi Schreyer takes things into her own hands on offense with a double off the wall to lead it off.  Nicole Versace comes in to run for Madi and Alyssa O'Farrell sacrifices her over to third.  With one out the squeeze is on with Keelin Davis putting down the bunt with just enough time for Nicole to score the winning run. 

Not to be overlooked was Madi's performance on the mound keeping Skyline from having any real chance of scoring a run.   In the end the Lady Falcons happily walk off the field with a 1-0 win.

It was a battle of 3A #1 ranked and defending champion Juanita against 4A #2 ranked Woodinville last night on a gorgeous evening at WHS.  Similar to last year it was a duel of the two top pitchers in the state, 2011 4A King Co MVP Pitcher Madi Schreyer of Woodinville and 2011 3A KingCo MVP Pitcher Alison Rhodes of Juanita. They combined for 21 strikeouts in the game, 10 for Madi and 11 for Alison.  It would come down to which team was more patient at the plate and that turned out to be our Lady Falcons.

Our girls got it going in the second by Lauren walking for the first of her three of the game.  Sarah Taketa traded places with her at first on a fielders choice.  Alex Boyd drew a walk which brought up Alyssa O'Farrell.  Replacing Alex at first was Maggie Loyet.  A throw down to first base from the catcher in error sent Sarah Taketa to 3rd which resulted in another errant throw and Sarah was able to make it home for a 1-0 Woodinville lead.

Madi on cruise control throughout the game was awarded more supporting runs in the third with an infield hit by Kayla O'Farrell and back to back walks from Makenna Weir and Lauren Burchak sent Sarah Taketa to the plate with the bases loaded.  Sarah delivered with a line drive base hit to right field scoring two runs to put Woodinville up 3-0.  Alison struggled with another walk of Alex Boyd and with the bases loaded Alyssa O'Farrell drew a bases loaded walk to push across the 4th run of the game.

Madi shut it down from there and our Lady Falcons knocked off the reigning 3A State Champion Juanita and handing them their only loss of the season.

Through 4 innings the Lady Falcons were denied over and over the ability to put a run across the plate at Inglemoor last night. Nice leadoff hits by Emily Jackson and sacrafice bunts by Kayla O'Farrell couldn't get a run across the old fashioned way.  So, knowing Madi Schreyer was going to keep the score dreadfully low for the Vikings, the Lady Falcons decided it was time to get it done with the sticks.

Over the next 3 innings the Lady Falcons put on a hitting clinic scoring 12 runs on 12 hits.  Keelin Davis got the 5th going with a smoked line drive single.  Emily got on base nicely.  Over to second and third move the two for Kayla to rocket a line drive base hit to score our first two runs.  That was all the taste of blood our girls needed.  The inning was capped off with an Alex Boyd BOMB to right center nearly hitting the 285 foot back fence.  With that three run home run, the Lady Falcons were up 6-1 and off and flying to another victory. 

Madi Schreyer again dominated.  The Vikings got on the board early with a lead off walk and then a triple off of a change-up by Madi.  From there she settled in throwing the rest of her mastery which resulted in a very long night for the Vikings, punching out 13 batters while walking only 1 more.

In the end, the Lady Falcons picked up where they left off last year against rivaled Inglemoor...up on top with a 12-1 drubbing!
