Pattonsburg went home early for the second night in a row as Addie Iddings tossed back-to-back one hitters, Cheyenne Miller crushed a triple, Kaitlyn Estes continued on her hitting tear, and Pattonsburg rolled to a 17-2 win over Mercer Tuesday, September 30th. Pattonsburg has clawed their way back to .500 with the win, winning five of their last six and scoring 11 or more runs in four of those games. Ten different Panthers got at least one hit in the win.
Jayden Goble and Kaitlyn Estes got two hits each. Kara Bernardino, Addie Iddings, Emsleigh McCrary, Vanessa Weigand, Claire Christensen, Rosalynn Cameron, Carlie Pittsenbarger, and Cheyenne Miller all had one hit. The Panthers only struck out twice. Jayden Goble and Rosalynn Cameron had doubles. Cheyanne Miller had a triple. Jayden Goble stole three bases and Kara Bernardino had one.
Mercer, still searching for its first win, has started showing the ability to hang around with teams; they hung around with Gilman City for a while before the Hawks floored them with a 14-run outburst. They did the same with Pattonsburg, leading them 2-1 at one point before Pattonsburg scored six in the third and ten in the fourth to finish the game.
Pattonsburg reverted back to the sloppy play that hurt them earlier in the year as Paisley Wells scored on an error in the first to put Mercer up 1-0.
Jayden Goble singled to center and stole second and third in the Panther first. An errant pickoff attempt scored Goble to tie it at 1-1.
The sloppy play continued in the second as Sari Rogers reached on an error, Payton Davis put down a sac bunt, and Emma Stark got the lone Mercer hit to put her team up 2-1.
Neither side could get anything going in the next two frames as Vanessa Wiegand was caught stealing by Mercer catcher Kylie Holt and Pattonsburg catcher Isabella Burger gunned down Holt trying to steal third to end the Cardinal third. Vanessa Weigand at third and Rosalynn Cameron made catches in the field in that inning.
But Addie Iddings walked to start the Panther third. Walks lead to runs and sure enough, Kara Bernardino (running for Iddings) stole second. Isabella Burger was plunked and Kaitlyn Estes singled home Bernardino to tie it at 2-2 as Carly Pittsenbarger (running for Burger) took second. Emsleigh McCrary singled to load the bases. Vanessa Weigand flied out to center fielder Lily Stark, but Carly Pittsenbarger tagged up and scored to make it 3-2. Claire Christensen singled to center as Kaitlyn Estes scored to make it 4-2 and McCrary took second. Christensen and McCrary took second and third on a passed ball. Rosalynn Cameron was out trying to stretch a double into a triple but got both runners home to make it 6-2. Cheyenne Miller tripled to restart the Panthers and Jayden Goble doubled her in to make it 7-2.
Mercer tried to answer in the fourth as Payton Davis tried to circle the bases after a throwing error by catcher Isabella Burger, but she was thrown out at the plate for the final out.
Emsleigh McCrary walked with one out in the Pattonsburg fourth. Walks lead to runs and sure enough, Vanessa Weigand reached on a dropped line drive and Claire Christensen walked to load the bases. Carly Pittsenbarger singled to center to score McCrary to make it 8-2 and the bases remained loaded. Cheyenne Miller struck out for the second out, but nine of the Panthers' ten runs scored with two outs in that inning. Kara Bernardino singled to left field to score Christensen and Weigand to make it 10-2, and Pittsenbarger advanced to second. Addie Iddings singled to right to score Pittsenbarger to make it 11-2 and put Bernardino on third. Isabella Burger walked on four pitches. Kaitlyn Estes singled to score Iddings and Bernardino and Iddings to make it 13-2 and put Burger on second. Emsleigh McCrary walked, and Vanessa Weigand was plunked to force in a run to make it 14-2. Claire Christensen reached second on an error as McCrary and Estes scored and Weigand took third to make it 16-2. Carly Pittsenbarger fought back from a 1-2 count and walked, and Cheyenne Miller walked on a 3-2 count to force in a run and end the game early.
