:ylsuper:You could probably say “Mam Mia” after the Lady 'Stangs of Bishop Brossart ran their record to a perfect 5-0 in Erlanger, Kentucky today. Brossart, led by Maria “Mama” Greis' perfect 5 for 5 day at the plate beat a much improved Lloyd Memorial team on the road 10-3.

Greis slammed three doubles in the 1st, 6th and 7th innings and added singles in the 3rd and 4th innings to help Tom Baynum's club build a 6-0 lead enroute to the easy NKAC Division II win. She had two rbis, and scored 3 runs. They have now outscored opponents 64-8 and will get two days rest and practice before defending their own Uncle Pete Noll Tournament this weekend at Softball City.

Lloyd, last week almost knocked off 8th Region contender Simon Kenton falling 2-1 and had some nice wins so far over Scott (15-2), Perry Co. Central (10-1) and Bath Co. (16-15).

Brossart played today without yesterday's hero Tricia Kramer, the team's leading hitter (.750). The junior centerfielder and leadoff batter, who reached base 4 times yesterday and tied the school record for stolen bases in a game with 6, was held out of todays game with a minor injury and will be ready to go this weekend. In the fourth inning they also lost sophomore Gretchen Trumbo to an injury on a collision at third. Like Kramer she'll be back Friday night. That gave Emily “Baby” Greis a chance to shine playing both leftfield and thirdbase in the game fielding three chances flawlessly as well as rapping out 3 hits and an rbi. Eighth grader Riley Orth also entered on Trumbo's injury and recorded her first varsity hit.

Erica Riedeman, Shannon Kramer, Molly Williams and Taylor Hardy also all contributed two hits each as Brossart pounded out 20 hits, a season high of Lloyd senior starter Staci Stewart. The Lady 'Stangs had 6 doubles three by Greis, two by Williams and one by Trumbo.

Freshmen pitcher Karlie Shackelford scattered 6 hits over 7 innings, striking out 5 for her 5th win of the season to remain undefeated. Two of the three runs scored by Lloyd were unearned lowering her ERA on the season to 1.40. Brossart is now 3-0 in the NKAC and undefeated in District play.

“I am liking a lot of what I am seeing so far this year,” says Coach Baynum. “I thought we played a great game on offense with some big key hits and were solid defensively.”

In the sixth Lloyd's leadoff batter Ellen Woodward led off with a single. Samantha Elmore then hit a smash to second where senior second baseman Molly Williams made a great stop flipped it backhand to sophomore shortstop Allie Anstead who fired to first to complete the nifty 4-6-3 doubleplay.

Wow 20 hits

Be interesting to know how many hits Lloyd had for Brossart. :idunno:

Wow that is impressive.

Not sure but had to be a long game. BBHS had to send upwards of 50 batters to the plate with 20 hits.

We usually send 50 batters up and get 5 hits so hats off to them. Who is their hitting and pitcher coaches?:idunno:

Appears that your math skills are as top notch as your knowledge of softball. Or was the 50 batters back in the day when you were the water fetcher?

I played the game and batted over .300 one year. Played in a league at Vater's Wasteland and was the catcher. Had two hits almost every week. In high school I got on base a lot. I had a slick glove and a cannon arm. Todd Benzonger came to one of my games. His daughter came with him.

I concur with this statement. BGH's creative writing classes at NKU back in the day sometimes translate into "funky bookkeeping". :deadhorse:

Gotta love ole lawn girls jealousy. With all the raid you'd think you'd be cutting a lot of grass rather than worrying about what you don't see or no nothing about. :deadhorse:Maybe you can help hubby umpire hehe

WOW! Now that's impressive! No, really it's not. If you were so tight with Todd, I would think you could spell his name correctly. Let me help you, it's "Benzinger". :lol:

Congrats Lawnboy! I didn't know you took on a husband recently! :idunno: Your wife isn't going to be too happy about that. BGH - you are completely clueless on this one.

Kind of like doing the stats.

Don't know that I would consider Simon Kenton a contender in the 8th Region. But, you can continue to spin however you want.
