Wildcats Top Performers:
 

• Miah Broussard tossed her third complete game in five starts and improved her record on the mound to 3-2 with a scattering of three runs but countered it with a season-high six strikeouts.

 
                        * Broussard continued the weekly theme of pitchers helping out themselves in the batter's box, driving in a pair of RBIs courtesy of a double and a fielder's choice. 
 

• Bella Houck only had one official at-bat over four plate appearances, that's because she walked not once, not twice, but thrice.

 

• Lexi Broussard had an interesting game two, also reaching safely on three separate occasions but she got plunked twice and connected for a single before making the Bleu Devils pay each time with three stolen bases.

 

• Emma Hunt had a pair of hits, getting the first two legs of the cycle via a single and a double plus a run scored / steal.

 

• Hannah Harrison got the ball rolling in that final frame by dropping a single over the head of the second baseman into in front of the right fielder, Jordan Dauthier turned into the winning score after she cracked a pinch-hit line drive in the next at-bat, then Carley Koch wore a bruise (hit-by-pitch) for the second time on the day to setup the bases loaded, no outs scenario.

 
Next:
  

• Back to RRACtion go the Diamond Cats, staying in the Crescent City for two more opposite the Xavier Gold Nuggets at 11 a.m. / 1 p.m. Saturday on The Fly.
