The Breds closeout the final home game of the regular season with a convincing win over the Cooper Jaguars, as they rap out 15 hits in the 5 inning affair.

 

NewCath Sr. pitcher Haley Meyers did it in the circle and at the plate. Meyers allowed only 2 hits while striking out 9 and walking only 1 and at the plate she knocked in 4, 3 on a 2nd inning "moon-shot" over the center-field fence.

 

Over the last 7 games she is batting .571 (12/21), with 3 doubles, 3 homeruns, and 14RBI. In the circle she is 7-0 in 41 innings pitched, giving up 17 hits, allowing only 8 earned runs with 46 K's and only 6 free passes.

 

NewCath collected 5 straight singles to start off the 2nd inning, and after a Sac-Fly by So. catcher Kacy Zimmerman plated the 3rd run of the game, Meyers follows with her 5th "johnson" of the year, a 3-run "dong".

 

The Breds plate 3 more in the 3rd highlighted by a Kacy Zimmerman single and twin sister Kara Zimmerman's double high off the left-field fence. NewCath would get their final 2 runs of the game in the 4th on RBI singles by Sr. Alex Burkart and So. Kara Zimmerman.

 

Also, big "tip of the cap" to NewCath freshmen Brooke Bihl on a perfect 3-3 hitting performance tonight. :ylsuper:

 

The Jags lone run came in the 5th, aided by the only two NewCath errors of the game and a bases loaded walk.

Newport Catholic was very impressive, I said in the second inning Haley Meyers was bringing it. Congrats to coach Barns.

Team to beat for the 9th Region
