It was a nice, sunny day for the final softball game of the 2009 season at Hillcrest Elementary School in Oak Harbor, where the Wildcats faced off against the Arlington Eagles.
It was not a happy day in the JV dugout, as both Coach Show and Coach Roy will not be back next year. Show is retiring from the Navy and returning to Florida, and Coach Roy will be going to North Carolina.
Pitcher Emily Hunt pitched all 7 innings, recording 10 strikeouts. Kasie Brown was 2-4 at the plate with a double and 2 RBIs, but it wasn't enough as the Eagles won 6-4.
After his last game, coach Showalter said "I really expect the JV team of 2009 to compete for a lot of open spots on varsity next year". He also expects the team to finish in the upper half of WESCO next year. In closing, he wanted to say "thanks for all your support".
Before the varsity game, each of the 5 seniors were introduced along with their parents. Leaving the team are seniors Kim Mowbray, Kayla Ratliff, Lauren Miller, Kendra Wallace and Kaylee Meders. Coach Weikle said that the team "is going to miss their leadership".
Arlington won the game 7-1. Relief pitcher Whitney Osborn struck out 4 batters over 4 innings and held the Eagles to 2 runs during that time, but the Wildcats left 5 players stranded on base.
Sisters Kim and Nikki Mowbray were both 2-3 at the plate with Kim scoring the only run.
