The junior, however, would not be denied, as she lept to the right and then lunged out with her left hand to touch the base, evading the tag and notching the Crimson’s first run in the most dramatic of ways.“She made a perfect slide at home,” Allard said. “And coming up with a clutch hit later, she was fantastic.”The next inning...
