Heights Edge Out Boston and the WPBL Standings After Season’s First 8 Games
Women’s baseball inaugural season is starting to really move along as we get towards mid-September. There was just one more matchup on Sunday before the league could get its first look at who is dominating the league and what ball clubs have some work to do. After a TIGHT early evening game, the Heights edge out Boston and finish setting the WPBL standings after the season’s first 8 games.
Fans at Robins Roberts Stadium got to end the week with an East coast rematch. The Boston Hunters took on the New York Heights. Both ball clubs made a game early on. They were tied with a run a piece until the third inning. Then one of Women’s Pro Baseball’s hottest hitters stepped up to the plate.
Boston’s pitcher immediately made a mistake. A little too much over the plate and Denae made her pay. The Heights’ Denae Benites blasted her fifth home run of the season! Causing New York to take a 3-1 lead. This Benites’ fifth homer in just four games. Benites has started the season hot and has remained on fire.
New York and Boston would add two more runs by the fifth inning. By the bottom of the fifth the Heights were up 5-3, but Boston was not done making things interesting. The Hunter’s Gabbie Haas comes through for her team with a two-run knock to tie things up for Boston.
