The Mandarin Mustangs took to their home field against the Bartram Trail Bears (15-3). Ashley Wiebenga has had some pretty big games this year from the mound, but Thursday night it was her batting skills that aided in the victory over Bartram Trail 5-0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wiebenga started off on the mound for the Mustangs making quick work of the Lady Bears batters, striking out one. Nicole Masanko took the mound for the Lady Bears, struggling in the inning, but got some big help on the defensive end from her infielders Olivia Creamer and Katelyn Meyer, Creamer caught a fly ball and quickly made the decision to pass the ball to Meyer for the quick double play. This helped Mansanko to get out of the inning with one strikeout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Big defense by Bartram Trail keeps both teams scoreless 0-0 at the bottom of the 1st <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DuvalSports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DuvalSports<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/b4KtXuhClf\">pic.twitter.com\/b4KtXuhClf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tashyra Feazell (@tfeazell1421) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tfeazell1421\/status\/1116465031695171586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 11, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The bats started to come alive for the Lady Bears in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\ninning with a couple singles by Emma Morris, Sarah Dziwulski and Riley Condon\nbut were not able to score any runs leaving three runners on.
