The Basics

Game One

How it happened:

The Twins played at home on Tuesday when they took on the SUNY Broome Hornets in a Region III matchup. Kaylee Hoffman was the starting pitcher for the Twins. This is her 10th start of the season. She started out not allowing any runs through the first three innings. This allowed the Twins to take an early lead, going up 4-0.  The Hornets struck back in the fourth inning with four runs of their own to make it a tied game. The Twins took back the lead till the seventh inning arrived. The Hornets rallied for seven runs to go up 11-10. The Twins picked up one run in the bottom of the inning to send the game into extra innings. The Hornets came back out with a nine run eighth inning and took the win in this one, 20-12. 

The Twins struggled in the field as they had nine errors. Just seven of the 20 runs scored were earned. Sophomore Kaylee Hoffman pitched the first six innings for the Twins.

After a long game one, the Twins got prepared to play game two of the day against SUNY Broome. Kaylee Hoffman would get the start once again. It was another back and forth game. Both teams logged a run in the first inning. The Twins took the lead in the second inning, 3-2. The Twins strengthened that lead in the fourth to  make it a 7-3 game.
