Thru all the crazy spring weather, rain, snow sleet the one thing we hadn't witnessed so far was thunder and lightning. Bishop Brossart junior pitcher Karlie Shackelford provided that against Mason County Friday night in the Pete Noll Invitational at Softball City. The game was close for most of the contest.

Brossart struck first. Secondbaseman Ashley Childress opened the game with a single and following a sacrifice by Shannon Kremer eventually scored on a groundout to short by Allie Anstead. The game remained 1-0 til the 6th when Kremer doubled and then Shackelford unloaded a 230 foot bomb to straight away center to make it 3-0 Lady 'Stangs.

Mason County came right back when Ross and Conrad singled and then Roberson drilled a two rbi double to leftcenter.Roberson then scored on a wild pitch.

The Lady 'Stangs started things in the top of the 7th when Jaimie Reis reached on a error off the pitchers glove and Riley Orth and Ashley Childress walked. Kremer drilled the first pitch to right for two runs and a 5-3 lead. Allie Anstead walked and up came Shackelford.

Shack unloaded a towering blast :clap:to left that landed about 30 feet over the portable fence and ended up at the base of the 300 ft fence at softball city.

They retired Mason Co. in order in the 7th to secure a 9-3 win.

Shackelford on the night two homeruns and 6 rbis while allowing just 6 hits over 7 innings of pitching with 5 strikeouts. Krmer and Childress each had two hits for the now 5-3 Lady 'Stangs.

Thanks for the breakdown on this one. I did not get to make the trip this weekend to watch Mason County.
