The theme song for the 2015 Lady 'Stangs fast pitch team maybe should be the old Bachman Turner Overdrive song “Taking Care of Business” That's exactly what Bishop Brossart did today in winning the 10th Region Touchstone Energy All ”A” Classic at Alexandria City Park.

Brossart combined great defense, outstanding pitching and solid offense in sweeping the semifinals and Championship to earn a berth in the State Tournament in Owensboro, Ky. April 25 and 26.

The Lady 'Stangs caged the Calvary Christian Lady Cougars 14-0 in three innings and then defeated a much improved and solid Paris Lady Greyhound team 6-0. In two games they allowed 3 singles no runs and rapped out 22 hits. It was their first region title since 2010.

The Lady 'Stangs are now 11-4 and have outscored opponents 165-40.

In the opening game Sophomore Megan Seiter tossed a one hitter and struck out 4 in tossing a shutout to beat Calvary Christian 14-0 in three innings. Ashley Childress went three for three with a pair of triples to lead the offense. Amanda Lloyd was also 3 for 3 with a double triple and 3 rbis.

The Championship game featured Paris (5-8). Amanda Graus walked with one out in the first, stole second and then raced home on an error to give Brossart all the runs they would need. It remained 1-0 til the fourth inning. Jordyn Boesch legged out an infield hit and then rached to third on a long double by Karlie Shackelford. Megan Seiter walked to load the bases. Following a strikeout for the second out, Riley Orth drove home two more runs with a single to make it 3-0.

In the fifth inning Amanda Lloyd opened with a single then scored two batters later when Shackelford dropped a single into left to increase the lead to 4-0. They added two final runs in the seventh. Graus singled and then stole second and later scored on an rbi single by Kate Seiter. Pinch runner Nicole Bezold then scored on a third hit by Shackelford and it was 6-0.

Shackelford retired the side in the seventh to finish with a two hitter striking out 9 in seven innings.

Katelyn Seiter finished with a 2 for 4 day and a triple. Shackelford 3 for 4 with 3 rbis. The Lady 'Stangs outhit Paris 10 to 2. Paris is now 5-8 on the season.

Bishop Brossart will play Notre Dame Monday and Campbell Co. Wednesday at Alexandria City Park and the play next weekend in Richmond at the National Guard Tomahawk Classic. Hopefully they continue taking acre of business.

Congratulations Lady Mustangs!

Congrats to the 'Stangs, hopefully we will be joining you in Owensboro. :thumb:

Sorry if my post was a "thread-jack", but you opened the door. :lol2:

I'm definitely confused on how winning the Tenth Region All A Classic gets you into the state tournament on April 25, 26. Could someone please explain, I thought you had to win region tournament and those dates just don't make since considering there are still games going on for the regular season. Thanks in advance for my ignorance:)

The All A State is the end of April. It is the State Tourny for Single A schools.

Thanks for explanation. I'm a foreigner and had no ideal, or it could be that I stayed at a Holiday Inn...never mind....it's b/c I'm a Camal Supporter:( drum roll please...I did just beat everyone to the punch

Where is RCC9 when you need him?!

The All A is not a KHSAA state sanctioned event even though they use the same regions they have there own state tournament for small schools. It may be ran better than the KHSAA tournament! It was a great concept to give the small schools a tournament to be on a level playing field. It will be interesting to see how many of the 16 representatives are small independent schools like Dayton, Bellevue or Ludlow and how many will be small catholic schools.

I didn't know they had a separate tournament for the smaller schools. I wish they would separate the big schools from the small with district tournament(kidding), just so Campbell County might have a chance. But the facts are the facts and if Campbell County can't beat a small school like Bishop Brossart, it would be hard to beat a big school you would think. Bishop Brossert, along with other small schools that beat up on big schools is down right awesome. I looked into it and Bishop Brossert has dominated the 37 district for along while. I want to know what makes such a small school tick just right, when a larger school like Campbell County struggles? Anyways, congratulations to Bishop Brossart on the upcoming tournament. Hopefully in the near future, the Camels will be able to put it all together. This definitely proves that it's not about the size, but about the will/desire to succeed.

This is one sport where the All A doesent give temas their one and only shot. In recent years, several small schools have had deep runs in Owensboro...Green County, Reidland, etc.
