Softball: Pine Forest Beats Baker
February 5, 2013
Pine Forest beat Baker 2-1 Monday night in George Moore’s debut as the Lady Eagle’s head coach.
Baker was leading 1-0 going into the top of the seventh inning after scoring on a passed ball in the fourth, when senior Miranda Kelley walked on a full count to lead off the inning. She didn’t hesitate and went to second during some confusion on the count. The home plate umpire had the count becoming full when it in fact was ball four.
Senior Dajah Gogue ran for Kelley, and junior Rachel Witbracht laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt to move Gogue to third with one out. After fouling off the first pitch, senior Brittney Ward put down a bunt on a suicide squeeze to score Gogue and tie the game 1-1. Ward went to second on the play.
Jordyn Pulliam, the only freshman on the varsity team, delivered a single to right-center field that scored Ward with the winning run.
Senior Rachel Munoz, pitching her first game for Pine Forest, allowed just three hits in seven innings. She walked only three and while she didn’t strike out a batter, Munoz let her defense do the work. The Lady Eagles didn’t commit an error.
Ward finished 2-for-2 with a walk, a run and an RBI. Rebecca Rudd also singled for Pine Forest, which plays host to Choctawhatchee at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
The Pine Forest junior varsity also beat Baker, rallying from 3-0 and 4-3 deficits to pull out a 7-4 victory. Freshman Mikaylah Taylor earned her first high school victory, tossing a complete game.

Congradulations. I saw a lot of team work last night to include the players and coaching staff. Looks like all the hard work is paying off.
Congratulations Coaches and players! It was a great game and I’m super proud of how our team never gave up and fought hard to the finish!
