“But when you get only one hit, you have to be perfect, and that’s tough.”
Brookes (2-2) deserved a better fate, allowing six hits, two earned runs, striking out three and walking only two in going the distance.
“She threw well,” Monas said. “We didn’t get much off her. We popped the ball up quite a bit.”
While the Warriors opened defense of the six NEC championships they’ve won in a row with a win, Monas said her players are keenly aware Geneva handed Edgewood its only conference loss a year ago — and the two teams play again today in Geneva.
“The girls were talking about just that today,” Monas said. “They won’t overlook Geneva, that’s for sure.”
Meanwhile, Cozad & Co. know what they’re up against again today.
“It’s a tough way to open, definitely, but it will get us ready for the rest of the league games,” Cozad said. “We know, especially against a team like Edgewood, we have to be ready and we can’t afford to make a mistake.
“We played a good ballgame today and we’ll be ready to do it again (today).”
