Wildcats Top Performers:

• Morgan Louviere minimized the damage despite wearing the L, hurling 4.1 innings out of the bullpen while giving up just one earned run (two total) and a singular walk.

 

• Bella Houck drove in both of her RBIs on a literal single swing, dumping the ball into left field as Mariel Medrano and Lexi Broussard scampered home, as well as picking up another knock and touching the plate as a baserunner.

 

• Medrano was the final Wildcat with a multi-hit affair, going 2-for-4, driving in a ribbie and lacing a two-bagger.
