Coach Tom Baynum saw his Lady 'Stangs improve to a perfect 3-0 on Thursday evening as Bishop Brossart cruised to a 13-3 six inning win over very much improved conference rival Beechwood at Pendery Park.

“I was very pleased how we took advantage of opportunities in the game,” exclaimed a happy Baynum. Brossart scored 8 of their 13 runs after two outs and only had five runners left on base.

Brossart jumped on top with a run in the first inning when Molly Williams kncoked home courtesy runner Caroline Woeste with a shot to left. In the third inning they opened up a 5-1 lead when nine Brossart batters strolled to the plate with Maria Greis (who returned as the cleanup hitter) drilling a double to drive home one and then Allie Anstead drilling a clutch two out two rbi single to give them a four run lead. Solid baserunning and putting the ball in play produced 3 more in the fourth for an 8-1 advantage. Beechwood put together three singles in the fifth to cut it to 8-3 after four complete.

The Lady 'Stangs delivered the game ender in the fifth when Taylor Hardy singled then Tricia Kramer reached on a walk. Then with one out freshman pitcher Karlie Shackelford helped herself by blasting a long home run to center that crossed the fence, grassy knoll and park walkway for three more and the Greis would score thanks to a grounder by Gretchen Trumbo to make it 12-3. In the bottom of the sixth Anstead (hit), Hardy (walk) and Kremer (error) reached base before Tricia Kramer grounded to short to send home Anstead with run 13 and the game.

Kramer scored 3 runs, Erica Riedeman knocked in two along with three sacrifices, and Shackelford, Greis, Williams Anstead and Hardy all had two hits,

Shackelford reached base all four times on the home run, a single, a walk and was hit by a pitch. She improved to 3-0 on the young season with a 2.00 ERA.

The Lady 'Stangs are now 3-0 and have outscored opponents 39-6 and are now 2-0 in NKAC play.

In the junior varsity contest they also ran their record to 3-0 beating Beechwood 11-0 in a game called by darkness in the fourth. Mary Kay Reilly celebrated her birthday by pitching the Lady 'Stangs JV to the win allowing just two hits and striking out 5. She also reached base twice.

Katelyn Seiter knocked home three runs for Coach Ashley Heck's team while Caroline Woeste, Emily Greis, and Riley Orth each scored two runs for Brossart. Orth also drilled a double to drive in two.

No surprise here.

Congrats! Sounds like your team is doing well.

Beechwood is much improved they will win some games this year

Good coaching will do that.

Thats why we reload and not rebuild every year

Could be but I don't believe you have reloaded this year, best of luck and I guess time will tell.

Didn't have too. Had eight starters back counting the DH and added a quality pitcher and catcher. Many lost far more than we did. Also we started 4 freshmen and two sophomores last year who got a great varsity experience during a 26-6 season.

Your 26-6 was from your pitcher from last year. When you lose a pitcher that strong and replace it with a pitcher with little varsity time, I would say you are not reloading. Not knocking anyone just stating what I see. Lets see how you do when you play a real tough team and I am not talking a scrimmage!

I'm sorry but I have to say something about that comment. When a Freshman pitcher goes yard and starts the season 3 and 0 and also beating Bourbon Co. scrimmage or not, I would call that reloading! I usually think you have very good comments, but this one shows your lack of softball knowledge:puke:

Did the pitcher not play for the Camels last year on Varsity? So what did Brossart do, go and recruit her? They have been known in the past to do that.

Here we go with that crap:puke: Wont even honor that with a return comment. She was an incoming freshmen she can choose to go wherever she wishes. It's a free country. Like Peyton Manning sometimes you seek greener pastures.

Not sure if this was for me but I have seen them and they are ok, but to say they have reloaded is just bad and may show your lack of softball knowledge. Their pitcher from last year has a little more than a 2.00 era at a Divison 2 school and their pitcher this year has a 2.00 era against HC, Pendelton, and Beechwood. 3 of the worst teams in the area. And Brossart stats will always be in question so who knows what the young lady's real era is.

Peyton was let go. Maybe she was let go to becasue of the numbering system the camels have.:idunno:

I would agree, kids can go where they want. I wish our school recruited for softball instead of basketball and football.
