Padres Pitcher, Thea Cooke, recorded back to back to wins in the Junior Women's Softball League and is working on her game to bring more variations for the rest of the Season.

Bria Smith of the Diamondbacks had 2 hits and scored 3 runs in the 19-12 loss to the Padres.

Diamondbacks losing pitcher was Sharia Romney .

The Padres’ 19 runs came from 13 hits, 5 errors and they left 6 runners on base. The Diamondbacks scored 12 runs, with 13 errors and left 4 runners on base.

Misha Walters of Padres was 2-4 with 2 doubles, 3 runs scored and 4 runs batted in. Shanika Forbes and Makeda Fahie each had 2 hits and scored 3 runs. J'Nae Hopkins and Bria Smith of Diamondbacks each had 2 hits and scored 3 runs.

“Although I didn’t get to pitch the way I wanted to I was still satisfied by the end result of it all,” commented Cooke. “I must say the Diamondbacks team came for a very defensive game and me being able to put up with the fight and end up as the winning pitcher was a success.”

Cooke has shown great control so far this season, but readily admits she has more work to do. “Before the next game hopefully I will be practicing on different pitches including drop balls, curve balls and change ups. My confidence is growing and I feel pretty relaxed with what I’m doing,” she concluded.
