Nobody called Sammy Bost out after she stole third and overslid the base, so the Liberty center fielder just kept running. <\/p>\n
Suddenly, Bost found herself sliding across home plate without a throw, scoring the winning run that capped a shocking ending to the Maryland 2A championship softball game, and left McDonough feeling it was robbed of a chance at a state title. <\/p>\n
I saw [a tag at third base], McDonough Coach Julie Snavely said. I told my girls [the umpire] missed the call, but youve got to move on. Its unfortunate that play ended the ballgame. <\/p>\n
Bost stole two bases on the final play of the game, and the Lions scored three runs with nobody out in the bottom of the seventh inning to beat McDonough, 3-2, Friday night at Robert E. Taylor Stadium at the University of Maryland. <\/p>\n
The win gives Liberty the first state title in school history; McDonough was denied what would have been its sixth state crown and second in four years. <\/p>\n
I overslid the base and I was like Oh my god, Im not letting my team down right now, Bost said. I just got up and ... I was like Okay, Ill go home then. <\/p>\n
The wild ending overshadowed a terrific performance by McDonough senior Jazzmyn Hayden, who took a two-hit shutout into the seventh inning and produced the Rams only runs with an RBI double in the first inning and a solo home run in the third. <\/p>\n
The Lions opened the bottom of the seventh with two bunt singles and a walk before second baseman Rebecca Oneto hit a two-run single that tied the score and left runners on first and second with nobody out. <\/p>\n
Catcher Natalie Gill missed a bunt attempt as Bost and Oneto attempted a double steal, and after the throw to third came in late, Bost slid past the base and appeared to be tagged out by McDonough third baseman Molly Simpson. <\/p>\n
I didnt feel a tag, Bost said. I wasnt going to go back into a tag so I figured Id either get in a rundown or go to score. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
See the rest here: Nobody called Sammy Bost out after she stole third and overslid the base, so the Liberty center fielder just kept running.
