Some say that just knowing is not good enough, but when stepping into a situation with a familiarity of the surrounding culture and knowledge of the players involved, it gives one a step up in their quest to accomplish remarkable things. It is that precise knowledge that gives Ms. Carrie Copley a step up as she takes the helm as Head Softball Coach at Mullen High School.
The Mullen Softball team took on the Standley Lake Gators at Doc Scavuzzo Softball Field on Tuesday afternoon. In the bottom of the 1st-inning, junior Morgan Stewart scored on a wild pitch tying the game up at 1-1. Later in the inning with the bases loaded, Alia Martinez was hit by a pitch forcing in a run to give the Mustangs a 2-1 lead. A few batters later, Avery Oates, on a hot grounder resulting in a fielder’s choice, drove in the final run of the inning giving the Musangs a 3-1 lead.
When Mullen and Regis Jesuit get together, there is always the potential for a classic encounter. On Saturday at Doc Scavuzzo Softball Field on the campus of Mullen High School, it appeared to be another one for the archives. Appearances, however, can quickly change. The pitching was the dominant factor through the first two innings, and then the third inning showed up. Regis began the inning with a couple of walks and secured a lead with a 2-RBI double. From there disaster struck. Mullen committed three-straight errors allowing four more runs to score, and Regis never looked back. Mullen secured two outs on the next two batters, but Regis was able to tack on another run before taking a 7-0 lead in the top of the 3rd inning.
