      | Not scoring a single run in your last couple games might not be something you want to remember, but they only gave up a single run in their last game against Meadville behind the strong arm of Jordan Wynn. This season had potential for the Lady Rocketsbut they came away only achieving five wins against three teams. “Inconsistent,” is how Titusville head coach Megan Green described the 2024 softball campaign. She talked after Tuesday’s 11-0 loss to Corry in five innings about a team with all the right tools, but that just hasn’t been able to put them all together over and over again. Her team scored 108 times this year in 17 games. But they scored 73 of those runs in the five games they one. They scored 36 points alone in just two meetings with Oil City. “It’s the mental errors,” she said while taking blame for them. “I don’t know how to cure that. It is something I will have to study all summer. I don’t know what it is because we can go and hang through seven innings with the undefeated team in the region and then we can turn around and (get ten runned) all in a 24-hour period.” Green sees good things with her players but it’s been a struggle to put it all together. Injuries, eligibility and other commitments that all school teams face seemed to be a prevalent factor for the Rockets this year. “They do have that potential,” Green said. “We said it last year and we said it again this year and I guarantee it’ll be one of the spells I’ll say at the beginning of next season ‘you have this potential to be more than something you realize,’ and if they can just believe it, they’ll do it. They’re a puzzle.” Green said one problem was inconsistency with pitching. Their ace Jordan Wynn has been battling ankle problems all season. When she has pitched, like in the 4-3 loss to undefeated Sharon or the 1-0 loss to Meadville, she has done well. But the injury has prevented her from being that go-to every game starter. In their game against Sharon , who has plowed through the league, Wynn held the Tigers to just four runs. Other coaches wanted to know what was up with that game and how they nearly pulled out the upset.“We went and played the softball I know the team can play, It’s what they’ve had in them the whole entire time and they just believed it for a fleeting moment,” Green said. “If we could put it all together in the same game it would be great, I can pick a little of Sharon, I could pick a little Grove City and throw that into the mix, we’d be great.” Being ten-runned against Corry Tuesday was tough. “It’s not the way we wanted to end the season,” Green said, At that point they didn't know if their season's final game with Meadville would be played. Seven seniors are leaving, but some talented players are coming up through the travel and little leagues programs for next year which has Green hopeful. |
