It was a windy and difficult day for the Mustang defense, but C. Milton was able to score in 5 of the 7 innings of play to earn the victory at Rising Sun today. Down by two thanks to a Caroline Weimer RBI single and Catherine Kim's run on a passed ball; the Tigers looked to get right back into it in the bottom half of the first when leadoff batter Miranda O’Donnell knocked one to deep right for a triple. Two plays later however with one out the Tiger 3-batter looked to drop a blooper into left when Mustang outfielder Rachel Knoebel made a major-league sliding catch and then caught O’Donnell leading from third before she could tag for a double-play.


Rising Sun never quite recovered, giving up runs to the Mustangs in 4 of the remaining 6 innings, and only scoring single runs in the 5th, 6th, and 7th.

Morghan Fulton earned the Mustang win in the circle, allowing 3 runs (2 earned) on 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 5. Tiger pitcher Megan Keene took the loss giving up 7 runs (6 earned) on 10 hits plus 3 walks and 2 hit batters, also striking out 5.


C. Milton improves to 7-3 (5-3 UCBAC Chesapeake) ahead of Wednesday’s match against AA County’s Broadneck High School.

Caulkins and Cosey; Fulton and Luzetsky. 2b: C- Weimer, Hamlin.


Coming off a difficult loss, the Mustangs needed to bounce back against the tough Cavalier team from Archbishop Spalding. That they did, taking advantage of a pair of Spalding errors to score 4 runs and secure the 4-1 victory. The game started out with an old-fashioned pitchers’ duel as neither team had a hit in the first three innings. But three Cavalier singles in the top of the 4th brought the Mustang top of the order up down by one run.


Caroline Weimer’s 2-out double started the come-back drive for the Mustangs. An error on the following at-bat allowed Weimer to score, evening out the ball game. Later Katelyn Hamlin would bounce back from an 1-2 count shooting a double to left driving in the 2nd Mustang run – as it is all that was needed to secure the win.


C. Milton added two insurance runs in the 6th when Quinn Ursprung’s single sent Kim home and Katelyn Hamlin hit into a play sending Weimer to the plate as well.



That would be all the scoring in the game. Morghan Fulton gave up 1 earned run on 4 hits and a walk while striking out 6 to earn the win; Spalding pitcher Ali Caulkins gave up 4 unearned runs on 5 hits plus a walk while striking out 3 in the loss.




The Mustangs host Harford Tech Saturday morning to finish out the home stand before heading to Rising Sun on Monday.

Fulton and Luzetksy, Gibson and Scott. 2b: C- Kim, Ursprung.


Winning Pitcher: Morghan Fulton (1 run, 0 earned, 2 strike-outs, 1 walk)

Losing Pitcher: Rayn Gibson (7 runs, 5 earned, 3 strike-outs, 2 walks)


The Mustangs needed a win after suffering a difficult defeat at home yesterday, and got one thanks to the pitching performance of Morghan Fulton who gave up only 5 hits (none for extra bases) and a walk with no earned runs to secure the victory. The Mustang bats were clinch, only belting out 6 hits but doing so with runners aboard. Up by a score of 1-0, the 4th inning was big for C. Milton as right-fielder Quinn Ursprung shot a 2-RBI double with bases loaded soon followed by Morghan Fulton’s 2-RBI single. Two insurance runs were added in the 7th when Jenny Lynch knocked a 2-RBI single with 2 outs, solidifying the win for C. Milton.

Not to be overlooked in the Mustang victory was a pair of double plays, both with a Bobcat on first base and a line-drive that took out the batter and the base-runner (one of them to 2nd baseman Katelyn Hamlin in the first inning and then to short stop Catherine “Cat” Kim in the last inning).

The Bobcat’s only run came when Bel Air’s 3rd-baseman Gaslor reached on a single. She was advanced to second by the next batter on a play back to the pitcher, but a Mustang attempt to catch Gaslor rounding 2nd sailed into the outfield on a throwing error, allow her to score.


The Mustangs end the week 4-2 on the season, 3-2 UCBAC Chesapeake.

Winning Pitcher: Megan Thompson



Ouch. That is about all that can be said from the Mustang’s perspective following the 11-1 loss today against the visiting Warriors. Havre de Grace was solid defensively but absolutely marvelous offensively, slapping out 14 hits including two shots out of the park in the third inning, compliments of 1st baseman Taylor Smith and pitcher Megan Thompson.

It was the 4th inning however that really drove home the Havre de Grace message – 7 runs on 6 hits (including an Emily Lewis double) plus two walks placed the Mustangs in danger of losing by mercy rule. C. Milton would avoid the slaughter when relief pitcher Kyralee Comeaux lead the 5th inning off with a double, later to be driven home by a Jenny Lynch single. It would be the only Mustang run of the day.

C. Milton falls to 2-2 in the UCBAC upper division and travels to Bel Air tomorrow to face the Bobcats.

New Rule Changes for 2014

NATIONAL FEDERATIONOF STATE
 HIGHSCHOOLASSOCIATIONS






NEWS RELEASE

New Rules Regarding Electronic Devices Approved in High School
Softball

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  Contact: Theresia Wynns
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (July 3, 2013) — Two new rules regarding the use of electronic
devices in high school softball were among the five changes approved by the National
Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Softball Rules Committee at its June 10‐12
meeting in Indianapolis. All rules changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of
Directors.
With the addition of Rule 1‐8‐6, team personnel are permitted to use electronic devices
to transmit or record information pertaining to their players or team’s performances. This is to
be done only in the team’s bench or dugout areas, and the information obtained may be used
for coaching purposes during the game.
“The committee felt that with the advancement of technology, it was time to allow
electronic devices to be used,” said Theresia Wynns, NFHS director of sports and officials
education and staff liaison for softball. “It focused on what was good for softball and that the
devices could be a useful tool to aid in coaching.”
According to Rule 3‐6‐11, information obtained by electronic devices shall not be used
to review decisions made by the umpires. Wynns said thatthe committee strongly opposed the use ofinformation obtained by
the electronic devicesto dispute an umpire about a specific call on the field.
“The committee did not want to give teams a competitive advantage,” she said. “It also
did not want to hamper the progress of the game.”
In other changes, the committee established definitions for “team members” and “team
personnel.”
Team members are players listed on the team’s roster and lineup as submitted to the
umpire at the pregame meeting. Team personnel consist of all school representatives located in
the team dugout, including but not limited to coaches, managers, certified athletic trainers and
scorekeepers.
The committee also revised Rule 1‐5‐2c by eliminating “smooth” from the description of
the taper, noting that not all bats have smooth tapers.
Fast‐pitch softball is the fifth‐most popular sport for girls at the high school level,
according to the 2011‐12 NFHS Athletics Participation Survey, with 367,023 participants
nationwide. The sport ranks fourth in school sponsorship with 14,142 schools offering the
sport.

This press release was written by Jason Haddix, a 2013 spring/summer intern in the NFHS
Publications/Communications Department. He is a senior at Indiana University‐Purdue University Indianapolis
studying journalism and medical imaging.
