'Cats continue to struggle
It seems as if the once dominate Wildcats softball team has lost its 'purr', and will now have to claw their way back into the standings, if they want to capture the league's overall title.
The Wildcats are in fourth place in the New Providence Softball Association (NPSA) women's division. The team suffered another loss, falling to a 6-7 win/loss record, over the weekend. The 21-3 pounding put on the squad by the Bommer George Operators could push them further into trouble, as the Sigma Brackettes, sitting in third in the standings, picked up another win on Saturday evening.
The Brackettes trail the division leaders, Proper Care Pool Sharks, and the Operators. On Saturday, the Brackettes handed the Black Scorpions their 10th loss on the season, closing the seven inning affair with a 6-4 win. Pitcher Ernestine Stubbs secured the win while former Wildcats' picher Marvelle Miller suffered the loss.
Theola Ferguson had the hot bat for the Brackettes scoring two runs. Both Sharika Green and Zella Symonette added big hits on the night.
The Scorpions, which got off to a fast start by scoring two runs in the top of the first, were scoreless in both the second and third innings. One run, which came cross the plate for them in the fourth, was scored by Tarea Sweeting. In the bottom half of that frame, Ferguson scored one of her two runs. She advanced to second after landing on first off a single. An error on the catcher made it possible for Ferguson to move to third. She would come home off a shot into the infield by Green. The Brackettes would hold the Scorpions again in the fifth and sixth innings, while they moved on to score two in the bottom of the sixth.
Crystal Taylor led the Scorpions in the loss, closing with two runs and two hits. Renee Davis scored one run and had one Run Batted In (RBI). The Scorpions are 5-10 this season.
The much anticipated game between the Island Luck Truckers and New Breed was finally played on Saturday evening. The game had been postponed and rescheduled about three times, due to either rain or no lighting.
A huge crowd was on hand to witness the Truckers batter New Breed, 16-13. This is just the second loss for New Breed, which sits on top of the division with an 11-2 record. The Truckers are now 9-3 with the win.
Three pitchers were used in the Truckers' victory. Darren Mortimer relieved Anton Gibson, who substituted for Leroy Thompson, the starter. Mortimer allowed only two hits while on the mound. Eugene Pratt walked away with the loss for New Breed which posted three runs early in the first.
The Truckers had scored one run in both the first and second innings, but came back in the fifth, to 'bat around'.
Five runs were scored in that inning, and another two were added in the sixth and eighth innings. The bats came alive once again for the Truckers in the ninth. Five more players came across the plate, challenging New Breed to score more than seven runs to win the game. New Breed could only muster up two, leaving the runners to die on second and third.
Terran Wood had the hot bat for the Truckers, scoring four runs off three hits. Wood also drove in five. Teammate Marvin Wood had four runs and two hits with one RBI. Over on New Breed's side, Garfield Bethel scored four runs and Pratt scored three times.

Arianna finishes third in 50 free
The fastest Bahamian female swimmer ever, Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace, seemed to get off to a shaky start last night, but still rebounded to win the bronze medal in the 50-yard freestyle in the NCAA Division I Women's Swimming & Diving Championships.
Swimming in her home pool at Auburn University, Vanderpool-Wallace touched the wall in third place, in 21.65 seconds. Liv Jensen, a senior from the University of California, Berkeley (Cal Berkeley), won the gold medal last night, in 21.48 seconds, and Margo Geer, from Arizona, barely out-touched Vanderpool-Wallace for second, in 21.64 seconds. Vanderpool-Wallace also added a pair of fifth place finishes in two relays.
In the 50 free, Vanderpool-Wallace broke a 12-year-old pool record in the heats, qualifying for the final with the fastest time, 21.46 seconds. That time was faster than the winning time in the final.
In the final, she actually reached the half-way point of the short course yards race in fourth place last night, and had to power past Shara Stafford from Missouri on the home stretch to secure one of the top three spots. She came home the fastest in the field (11.01), but it wasn't enough to catch the top two swimmers.
The Auburn senior was about three tenths of a second off her personal best time of 21.34 seconds which was done at the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Championships last year. This year at the SEC Championships, she swam 21.35 seconds for another SEC title, and last year at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championships, she did 21.38 seconds.
Also last night, Vanderpool-Wallace swam in the final of the 200 free relay and the 400 medley relay for the Auburn Tigers. She led off the sprint relay and touched the wall in first place, but her teammates drifted to fifth at the James E. Martin Aquatics Center last night, in Auburn, Alabama. The Tigers finished in 1:27.82, good enough for fifth place. The top five teams touched the wall under the old pool record time.
Stanford, which had two swimmers in the open 50 final, finished first, in 1:26.85, Cal Berkeley touched the wall in second place, in 1:27.22, and the Arizona Wildcats finished third, in 1:27.45. Texas barely held off Auburn, in 1:27.81.
In the 400 medley relay, Vanderpool-Wallace and the Tigers touched the wall in fifth place, in 3:30.38. Cal Berkeley won the gold, in 3:28.10, Arizona finished second, in 3:29.13, Tennessee claimed the third spot, in 3:29.92, and Texas A&M held off Auburn for fourth, in 3:30.31.
The accolades are expected to continue pouring in Vanderpool-Wallace. She will swim in the 100 fly and 200 medley relay today, and her specialty the 100 free, and 400 free relay on Saturday. She was unable to successfully defend her 50 free title, but is a heavy favorite in the 100 freestyle where she is the current NCAA record holder. Her NCAA record of 46.61 seconds is the fastest time ever swam by a female in that event in the United States.
At the conclusion of the three-day championships, Vanderpool-Wallace will leave Auburn University as one of the most decorated swimmers in school history. She is an 21-time All-American and could finish with 25 honors after the championships, which would rank her second in school history.
