The North Putnam softball team picked up a 3-1 win over Monrovia at home Tuesday.
The Cougars recorded four hits on the night. Taylor Judy, Dakota
Malayer, Leah Crosby and Ashley Curry accounted for North’s hits.
“We stranded some runners tonight. It’s something we haven’t
been doing. I think we were a little out of sync tonight,” North Putnam
head coach Jim Brothers said.
Judy continued her strong season for North Putnam Tuesday
night. Brothers commented on his freshman’s game and was pleased with
the way she never let the Bulldogs get comfortable around the plate.
“Taylor pitched a good game. She had one run on three hits and
13 strikeouts. She kept them off-balance, she pitched a really good
ball game again,” Brothers commented.
The Cougars’ season has been marked with close game after close
game and Tuesday was no exception. Early in the season, the Cougars
were on the wrong side of those close contests but lately they seem to
have found a way to win.
“We’re used to those (close games). Hopefully all those close
loses will pay dividends for us done the stretch,” Brothers commented.
North Putnam will travel to Owen Valley for a 5 p.m. start Thursday.
