For the 2nd consecutive game in a row, the Breds bust out for 18 runs on 18 hits.

 

The Breds waste no time getting on the scoreboard in this one as they tally 4 in the opening frame, the "big blow", Kristen Schreiber's 16th double of the season off the centerfield fence that drives in one. In the 2nd, a RBI Sac-Fly to center off the bat of Taylor Burkart. In the 3rd, RBI singles by Michaela Ware and Schreiber. Morgan Martini with an RBI triple to the fence in right in the 4th.

 

Unfortunately for the Jag's, like in the their heartbreaking loss the night before to Conner, errors played a big part in the 7-run 7th for the Breds. With one-out and the bases loaded, Burkart hits one up the middle into centerfield for a 2-run single, Martini follows with an RBI double off the fence in center, and Ware an RBI single to right, her 2nd hit of the inning. Haley Meyers gives up one earned run on 8 hits and K's 6 to improve to 16-5 on the season.

 

Really like the Nicholas girl in center for the Jag's, has that "swagger" about her that says, she is a ball player.

Jessica Koors in a scary collision with her 1st baseman:scared:, it looked like Jess getting hit by a "Mack Truck", but she got up after a few minutes.
