Ask Clay_Athletics' softball seniors to describe their road to the final four, and the same words keep coming up. As they say, they're sisters... on a roller coaster.
The numbers that tell the story of Clay's improbable postseason softball run aren't home run totals, or earned run averages.That's how close Clay came to missing the playoffs, and what they've done once they finally made the cut.
Clay took down No. 1 seed Baker County 3-1, won the second-round game 4-1 at Wakulla and then outlasted West Florida 1-0 in a 10-inning marathon at Pensacola, even though Blue Devils seniors had to miss their scheduled graduation ceremony to participate in that game. "It's David and Goliath," Lewis said."Let's go after the big dogs and knock them off, from Baker County, then traveling out to Wakulla, and then again Friday night [at Pensacola West Florida]."Lewis acknowledges this season has been far from easy.
"I knew my girls could do it. It was just a matter of getting the opportunity, and when they play their game," Lewis said."We talk about it every time. You play your game, minimize the errors, the mistakes. We're a good enough defense, and we've just got to scrap around a run or two on the board and we're good to go."The junior missed two stretches of the season amounting to nine games in total, because of a combination of hip and back injuries.
Despite her injuries, she's 8-5 with a 1.07 ERA and 138 strikeouts on the year, and she's batting .381 at the plate as well.
