When the skies opened above Baseball Central, just after 8 p.m., the national women’s team was clinging to a 2-1 lead over Mexico, in the opening game for both sides at the WBSC Women’s Baseball World Cup Pool A qualifier.
“I always go up there and try to hit the ball hard. Mexico has really good pitching and you’re not always going to see fastballs. You’re going to see a lot of different speeds and you just go up there and try to hit the ball hard,” Willan said.Willan, who was 2-for-2 with a walk and left early after being hit on the hand by a pitch, knocked in her first of four runs in the game in the third, singling home CF Sena Catterall, who doubled of Mexico starter Rosa Maria Del Castillo.
“We stayed loose and I think that was the important thing. I don’t know if anybody could hear the girls singing from the dugout, but they tried to keep it loose and not worry too much and then come out and be aggressive.”
