What a difference a day makes.  After dropping an uninspiring game yesterday, the Mustangs rebounded big against cross-town rivals Bel Air in a highly-anticipated showdown between the pitching prowess of Bobcat Rayne Gibson and Mustang Morghan Fulton.

The Mustangs jumped up in the bottom of the 1^st when leadoff batters Emily Luzetsky and Catherine Kim both reached with singles, advancing to 2^nd and 3^rd on a passed ball.  Caroline Weimer sent Luzetsky home hitting into a play, and cleanup batter Morghan Fulton sent Kim to the plate, scoring the 2^nd and what ended up being the winning Mustang run.

Bel Air looked to jump back in the 2^nd however when Rayne Gibson, who was intentionally walked, found her way to 3^rd and made it home when Thielhorn hit into a play, scoring the only Bobcat run.

Mustang bats took over from there.  Back to back doubles off the bats of Cat Kim and Weimer added a run in the third.  More runs were scored in the 4^th with RBI blasts off the bats of Luzetsky, 2 for Cat Kim, and another off the bat of Jenny Lynch. Freshman shortstop Emily Kim would get into the action in the 5^th inning leading off with a double, finding her way to 3^rd, and making it to the plate when fellow freshman Katie Murphy hit into a play.

Mustang pitcher Morghan Fulton had a banner game.  Only 2 of the Bobcat’s 4 hits made it to the outfield, and only one putout was in the outfield, meaning in the entire game Bobcat batters only sent 3 balls out of the Mustang infield.  Fulton gets the win, her 2^nd of the season while striking out 2 and walking 2 (one intentionally).

Bobcat pitcher Rayne Gibson takes her first loss of the season, giving up 12 hits plus also walking only 2 batters while striking out 5 Mustangs.

The Mustangs now hold a 2-1 record in the UCBAC Chesapeake division (3-1 overall) with a conference match tomorrow at home against Perryville.
