Jets Squeeze Out Win Over South

The Franklin Monroe Jets fastpitch had their hands full in the opening round of the state tournament.  Twin Valley South had hung tough in a loss to the Jets earlier in the season, and this night was the same. To borrow a phrase from coach Mike Morris who frequently tells his pitcher to “squeeze ‘em out” when she has 2 strikes on the batter - the Jets had to squeeze out a win against the Panthers. The game was closely contested until the last out.  The Jets scored the go ahead run when Taylor Armstrong crossed the plate on a Chloe Peters sacrifice in the bottom of the 6^th inning.  Peters was awarded the game ball afterwards. This broke up a 1-1 tie and after the Jets retired the Panthers in order in the top of the 7^th it meant a 2-1 victory.
