Wildcats Top Performers:
Â
- Brooke Ross raised her season record to 3-0 as well as a perfect 3-0 in three career games in which she has both homered and pitched, tossing five innings with zero earned runs (two unearned) while striking out four Eagles on top of going 2-for-3 in the batter's box including a solo dinger and a single.
Â
- Lexi Broussard was fond of the number two: two hits, two RBIs, and two runs scored; in addition to a stolen base.
Â
- Bella Houck refused to be put out, reaching safely in all four plate appearances courtesy of a trio of singles and a base on balls.
Â
- Morgan Louviere made her ninth career outing out of the bullpen with the Cats and came away with her first ever save, closing out the final six outs.
Â
- Bevan Hartnett along with Emma Hunt notched multi-hit affairs as Hartnett logged a pair of knocks with a ribbie while Hunt doubled and crossed the dish.
Â
- Mariel Medrano stole second base not once, but twice, reaching on a fielder's choice and a hit-by-pitch, scoring on one of those instances.
