After yielding two hits in the first frame, she was untouchable, retiring 12 consecutive batters from the third through the sixth and never allowing another runner past second. Advertisement 'Having that run almost like each inning was great,' Latour said. 'It gave me the confidence I needed to keep pitching. I just knew I had to do my part.' After getting held scoreless in the first by Bears freshman Akira'ley Vazquez, Dighton-Rehoboth began to capitalize on defensive miscues behind her as the game wore on. In the second inning, Sara Marsella singled with one out and later crossed the plate on a misplay at second. An inning later, Eva Ainsworth plated another run after a high throw got past third baseman Hayden Gomes. Advertisement The Falcons broke it open in the sixth with a two-out rally, started when senior Izzy Moss got aboard with a double and was driven in by senior Haleigh Kelley. Then, Horrocks put on the finishing touches with a two-run bomb that sailed well over the left field fence. The home run was also the 100th hit of Horrocks' career, putting the finishing touches on a game — and season — that she could not have drawn up any better. 'Not having to have your last game be a loss is just not something everyone gets to do,' Horrocks said. 'It's just so exciting, such a good feeling to come out on top again. Dighton-Rehoboth sophomore Edy Latour scrattered four hits, striking out five, and retired 12 consective batters from the third through sixth inning.
