Millbrook Bats Hot, Capped by Abbate Grandslam
Millbrook welcomed Hamden Hall on a beautiful Monday afternoon.
The Mustangs came out ready to go, getting three quick outs from the Hamden Hall offense before plating two runs of their own in the bottom of the first (with Jaicee Downs ‘26 and Joiee Downs ‘29 scoring).
In the bottom of the second inning, Hamden Hall was able to plate one run, but the highlight of the inning was 3 quick strikeouts from Meghan Abbate ‘29 on the mound. A heads up Hamden Hall double play on a line drive held the Mustangs scoreless in the bottom of the second inning.
The top of the 3rd inning saw a beautiful 1-2-3 outs, followed by a full-team Millbrook effort 7-inning bottom of the third inning.
The Mustang defense carried the momentum into the top of the 4th inning, with a back to back 1-2-3 inning. The offensive power continued for the Mustangs. The Mustangs had already scored 4 runs in the inning when Abbate came to the plate with the bases loaded - setting the stage for a grandslam to end the game.
It was a true team win - with every Milbrook player having at least one RBI or run scored.
Abbate racked up another 8 K from the circle.
