Newmarket softball shuts out Epping
April 25, 2008
Epping High School’s Karissa Patton held a cold ice pack on her right cheekbone late Wednesday afternoon. Not from the 10-0 pounding the Blue Devils got from rival Newmarket, but from a hard foul ball she got hit with while watching the baseball game between the two schools.
The amazing thing about it was she could still laugh about it with her teammates.
“Rosie (Chooljian) said I was missing some of my teeth and they were making fun of my smile,” laughed Patton.
Patton said that what she’ll remember most about the day was not the game, but looking at the grass, seeing a white blur coming at her and getting hit by the ball.
And her friends teasing her, of course.
“Now I know what it feels like to get hit with a ball,” said the Epping senior.
