: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.

BTW - "Baby" Greis as you call her....I didn't think Maria's twin sister, Emily, played softball. Are you sure that's not Erin - her 8th grade sister???

Well this may the most uninformed comment ever on here. I think we DO KNOW who plays on our own team. Juniors Maria and Emily both play varsity and Erin plays on our freshmen team. Maybe the ole Wildcat has been celebrating UK too much lol.

That could be! Just couldn't understand the Mama and Baby comment. Maybe you should just report the game and not add all the extra fluff that no one seems to care too much for.

Lawildcat, I have to say, you have major issues

Really? Because I was confused about a post?! Ok.

Im just saying, on most postings you read between the lines and pick out the important things that matter. I just thought you made a little much out of nothing.

Maybe so, but not this time. I honestly did not know that Emily Greis played softball but I knew that Erin did. I was confused; that's all. :idunno: It happens.

Glad to hear all the Greis girls are playing though. They are all great girls!
