Game Summary
The Davis Blue Devils responded from their Wednesday loss to Elk Grove by grinding out a hard fought 5-2 decision against St. Francis of Carmichael. This was the first league win of the season for Davis who improved their record to 1-1 in league and 8-2 overall. Shasta Wickham was 2-3 and had two doubles while Taylor Trinidad scored 3 of the home team's 5 runs. Sadie Marigo pitched all 7 innings allowing two earned runs while striking out 7 without a walk. Davis had a 5-1 lead in the sixth but St Francis did not go away quietly scoring a run and loading the bases with one out. But a line drive snagged by short stop Patti Swimley who quickly doubled off the runner at 3rd base foiled the rally helping Davis record the victory. The Blue Devils travel to Sheldon and Franklin next week as league play continues.
