She calmly embraced senior catcher Marissa Lee in the celebration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know it seemed underwhelming \u2014 the celebration \u2014 but I was really happy inside and proud of myself and the whole team,\u201d Chen said. \u201cIt\u2019s a special group of girls \u2026 (and) it\u2019s really cool that we have Natalie because she\u2019s DI. And Marissa, too. They\u2019re really talented girls, especially Kat (Katerinna Rizos), too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keith, who signed with Arizona, threw out a runner at first base in the second from deep in the hole at shortstop. Two batters later, she hustled to catch a foul ball down the left field line.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Fourth-year Northwood coach Maddy Grimm didn\u2019t miss the significance of the first putout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was huge,\u201d said Grimm, who plays infield professionally for the Atlanta Smoke. \u201cNat is very talented. She has all of the instincts that can\u2019t be taught. You either have it or you don\u2019t. She\u2019s been a joy to watch play for the last four years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keith ignited the offense for No. 2-seeded Northwood (15-7-1) with a run-scoring double in the fourth to tie the score 1-1.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=10903\">Gigantic chess pieces parade is Pageant of Master\u2019s warm-up for summer show<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kiana Park followed later in the fourth with an two-out infield single to make it 2-1.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then came the fifth inning. Northwood sent 13 batters to the plate and delivered seven of its 11 hits against Grace (16-11).<\/p>\n<p>Kaylee Jones, a sophomore center fielder who batted ninth, helped spark the outburst with her second bunt single. Northwood eventually loaded the bases for Rizos, who drove in three runs with a double.<\/p>\n<p>Chen then doubled over the center fielder\u2019s head to extend the lead to 6-1.<\/p>\n<p>Northwood showed its unity and depth as pinch-hitter Ally Kraeber delivered an RBI single with the bases loaded. Jones added a two-run double to finish 3 for 3 with two RBIs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe came in with a chip on our shoulder,\u201d Grimm said. \u201cI think we\u2019re a little better than Division 5, so I\u2019m really glad that we showed up and competed like this. But we lost games that we shouldn\u2019t have in-season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was the kind of performance Keith wanted for Northwood, which missed the playoffs last season.<\/p>\n<p>As a junior, she teamed with Lee and left fielder Jessie Wendt to lead the Timberwolves\u2019 girls flag football team to a CIF-SS Division 2 title. Keith played quarterback and safety.<\/p>\n<p>Her older brother Nicholas played football and baseball for Northwood and her younger brother Alex will be a freshman at the school in the fall. Her father Eric is the principal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Northwood athletics is) on the rise and having two championships promotes women\u2019s sports and I love it,\u201d she said. \u201cBeing able to kind of lift up this (softball) team \u2026 is what I\u2019ve taken pride in.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=10892\">Capitol rioters clamor for payouts from Trump\u2019s new \u2018anti-weaponization\u2019 fund despite backlash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natalie Keith shines on offense and defense, and freshman Olivia Chen tosses a two-hitter as Northwood wins Division 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-based-on-facts-either-observed-and-verified-directly-by-the-reporter-or-reported-and-verified-from-knowledgeable-sources","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
