Pitching is everything. On Thursday, March 30, 2006 the Warren Lady Jack Softball team had the pitching to beat Strong/Huttig. The only question was could their bats come through. The Lady Jacks stepped up to the plate and got the job done. They won by the score of 2-1.

A magnificent job of pitching was done on both sides. Through almost six innings the game was scoreless. In the top of the sixth Strong/Huttig was able to scratch out a run to make it 1-0. However, the Lady Jacks answered in the bottom of the inning to make it 1-1.

Going into the seventh it was tied at 1. Just when you thought the excitement and tension couldn't get any higher, the tempo was bumped up a notch.
