Huguenots take game one

Well as all teams in Conference I play other teams in their league three times this year, League I-A rivals White Plains and New Rochelle squared off for the first time today with New Ro taking the opening game, 3-0 behind a four-hitter from Schonberg. She had nine strikeouts – a number that has come to be low for her – but the New Ro defense was very solid behind her, gobbling up ground balls from White Plains as the Tigers did a good job of putting the ball in play.
Sam Bock had the clutch hit of the afternoon, a two-out bases loaded single on 0-2 to make it 3-0. New Ro scored in the first on an error and Schonberg scored in the third on a wild pitch after hitting a triple.
Bock is playing with a very bruised hand after taking a foul ball off her right hand in the extra innings win over Mamaroneck on Saturday. And she’s definitely a trooper – she had a cast but has taken it off to keep playing.
Lauren Sputo gave up just two earned runs for White Plains – she is just an eighth grader in her first year on varsity and looks good. I think we’ll all continue to hear about good things from her this year and for many more to come. She has a nice drop and rise.
The Tigers definitely miss Dena Frederick in the lineup and on the field but the Tigers are still solid and were aggressive at the plate. Juliana Bailey is now playing third in Frederick’s absence. Right fielder Laura DeMarte had a great assist in the game, throwing out a runner at home on a strike to catcher Sandra Mastrangelo after Ashley DiZenzo hit a single.
