The Big Green Machine kicked it into high gear on Tuesday to run tehri season record to 2-0 easily beating the Lady Cats of Pendleton County 18-0 in three innings. The game was played in Falmouth, Ky. The lady cats fall to 0-2 on the young season.

Brossart led from the first pitch scoring 6 in the first, 10 in the second and 2 in the third to cruise in a game they could basically name the score. Freshman Karlie Shackelford and junior Mary Kat Reilly combined for the shutout on the mound while the Lady 'Stang hitters rapped out 16 hits in three innings.

Five different Bishop Brossart batters had two hits for the Lady 'Stangs who are still playing without cleanup hitter Maria Greis who will be back on Thursday. Tricia Kramer, Erica Riedeman, Gretchen Trumbo, Molly Williams and Shannon Kramer each had two hits. Shackelford, Trumbo and Williams each had three rbis each. Williams pounded a bases loaded triple while Shackelford and Emily Greis each doubled for Coach Tom Baynum's varsity team. Kramer and Trumbo also each scored three times for the Lady 'Stangs.

Brossart scored first in the top of the first when Tricia Kramer reached on an error and then raced home on a long double by Shackelford. Brossart never trailed from that point.

In the junior varsity game, called after two innings, Brossart won 16-1 as Mary Kay Reilly not only pitched the team to the win but also had two hits a base on balls and four rbis to lead her team. Jaime Reis and Amanda Lloyd each scored three times for Coach Ashley Heck's team.

Wow, thats alot of runs in 3 innings! Not much you can tell from pendleton though, but I guess your team did what it's supposed to do. Sounds like their pitcher was pitching over the plate with all those hits. Just wondering why you had 2 pitchers pitch in just 3 innings?

Good time to get both pitchers work and also one has a minor injury. Lot of games left to go this year. The goal is to stay healthy and win all year.

So when my daughter said her friend on Brossart saw the Shakleford girl talking to the trainer, I guess thats what was going on. Is that why the threads saying the pitcher for Brossart didn't look that good, she was hurt. How bad is it? Congrats on your win.

Just a small minor strain but when up 13-0 why take a chance and also you want to give your other pitcher work. Brossart is off Wednesday (no game) so that gives an extra day also to be ready. Then after Thursday we get a three day period with no games. It is like spring training still. Have six games next week

Good game plan. Well, we have Scott tomorrow and Cooper on Thursday, I hope my lady Pandas get off to a good start.
