The player caught the Cowboys off guard and was able to steal 2nd base. The next girl up hit a homerun to tie the game at 2-2. The Cowboys didn’t score at the bottom of the 7th inning. The Cowboys went all the way to the 8th inning, both fighting for the win. The Cowboys were unable to score in the 8th inning; however, the Gators were able to score one. The game ended with a score of 2-3, with Palm Beach Gardens taking home the win. “The team is doing is very well, and we are hitting way better,” sophomore Jasmin Herrera said. “Of course we can improve on some aspects of the game, but with time we will get there.”

The Cowboys fought hard and played only three innings, winning the game with a score of 17-0. “We’ve done really well this season,” Jones said. “We have really come together offensively now and are starting to really look like we want to win.” The next game started soon after and played just as well as they did the first game.
