You could say it went from “The Worst of Times to the Best of Times” as Bishop Brossrat roared back from the brink of elimination in pool play to the Championship of the First Priority Classic at Whitely County High School this weekend.

The Lady 'Stangs were upset friday night in pool play by Grant County (15-6-1) 6-2 before rolling over Williamsburg 12-2 on Saturday morning. They then faced a good Harlan County team but left 14 runners on base and fell 3-2. Now they would have to wait their fate and see if they qualified for the Elimination Tourney or the Consolation Bracket. They made the Champions Bracket and were told they would have to face Grant County AGAIN. This time Brossart was ready beating the Lady Braves of Grant 9-8.

In the semifinals they took on Simon Kenton (14-5) The Lady Pioneers had won 10 of their last 11 games and knocked off two of the tourney favorites. Once again though Brossart was not to be denied. They were in control the entire game beating Simon Kenton 5-1 and earning a berth in the Championship game.

As fate would have it Harlan County upset tourney favorite Clay County 4-3 to give Brossart a second game of revenge and this time the Lady 'Stangs would not be denied lashing Harlan with an 18 hit attack and winning 15-7 to take the title.

Junior Mary Kay Reilly won all 4 of Brossart's tournament games to finish 4-0 and walked only one of the 94 batters she faced in the tournament.

Molly Williams was named the tournament “Golden Glove Player” for her superb defense. She also batted .524 in the event.

The Tournament MVP though was Maria Greis, the hard hitting Brossart first baseman who slugged 13 hits out in 18 at bats (.723), scored 7 runs, knocked in 10, had 3 doubles, a triple and two sacrifices. You know you are going good when she finally struck out and the catcher missed the ball allowing her to reach base and eventually score.

Bishop Brossart is now 15-5 on the season and Harlan County falls to 11-5

Great job and congrats on the Championship. However I would not refer to the Grant County loss as an upset. They are a very nice team and were ranked above Brossart in the last poll that was out. If anything maybe it could be considered an upset on Saturday when you beat them.

 

Nice job too by Mary Kay Reilly. Surprised Shackelford didn't get any wins. Did she pitch any?

Nice job Brossart! Kind of surprises me too about Shackelford. Was she still hurt from the Scott game? Read in the paper she got hurt in the Scott game and didnt return.

I would say beating SK would be an upset for Brossart also, Great job sounds like a lot of fun.

I would have to say she must be hurt to have your backup pitch the last 4 games of the tourney. Great to see her come in and get the job done though. It goes back to the mid season top 10 thread, in NKY there's 12 or 13 teams that could beat one another on any given day. This is one year in a long time thats there's not been a power house team like Ryle. And Ryle isnt the Ryle of years ago. Congrats to Brossart on beating 3 quality teams to win the tourney.
