This game was fun for the team and fun for the fans, because of the team's can-do, never-give-up attitude.

No April Fool — April 1, 2008
TJ Varsity Softball upset Stone Bridge on Tuesday, April 1, outscoring the Bull Dogs by 4-2. The Lady Colonials challenged from the first at-bat as junior Toby Loewenstein fended off 7 pitches to earn a walk. Senior Kate Cooper immediately followed with a line drive to left field. Both runners then advanced on an error by the Bull Dogs. Freshman Barbara Lantz brought Toby home on a ground ball down the first base line, and Cooper scored on a wild pitch.
In the bottom of the first, the lead off batter for Stone Bridge took advantage of a dropped third strike to take first base. Sophomore pitcher Meghan Mutchler then dashed the hopes of the Bull Dogs striking out the next batter, catching a popup in the pitcher's circle, and tagging the lead-off batter in a pickle play. A heads-up throw down by catcher Amy Plunk to third baseman Lowenstein caught the Stone Bridge runner half way between second and third base. Shortstop Hope Smith prevented the runner from returning to second, and Mutchler executed the tag as the runner tried to slide into third.
The Lady Colonials scored two more runs in the third inning. Mutchler singled, Lantz reached on error, and Plunk brought them both home with a single to center field. Lantz also tripled in the 5th inning but was unable to score in that inning. Cooper and sophomore Sydney Schrider too were stranded after delivering well hit singles to the green.
The game victory was achieved by solid teamwork. Mutchler dominated on the mound delivering a combination of punch-out strikes, fly balls, and in-field grounders. The in-field made quick work of all grounders and bunt attempts. Schrider, in particular, showed mastery of her position as she covered first base for several bunt attempt outs. Lantz at center field and sophomore Emily Schultz both made outstanding catches late in the game. Seniors Plunk and Cooper made breath-taking catches of foul balls that brought the stands to their feet.
The TJ crowd stayed on their feet to cheer as their team brought home the victory. Coach Brian Fleury kept the team pumped and focused. His final comment: "That was fun." No April Fool!
