The Lady ‘Stangs of Bishop Brossart, on a day that saw the first Enquirer poll of the year Rank them Number 1 in Northern Kentucky, lived up to the billing by dominating 4th ranked Simon Kenton 7-0 on Wednesday evening. :ylsuper:

Brossart, now 8-1, banged out a balanced attack and outhit the Lady Pioneers 11-2. Pitcher Alicia Miller won her 8th game hurling a two hitter and striking out five as the Lady ‘Stangs played solid defense and played a smart and solid offensive game. Miller was 3 for 3 in her spare time.

In the second inning sophomore Molly Williams opened with a single and then scored from first on Miller’s single to right. They came right back in the third when Natalie Woeste and Paige Baynum lined hits to center and were sacrificed to second and third by Emily Schubert. Lindsay Griffith followed with a sharp double to right and suddenly it was 3-0 Brossart.

The ‘Stangs came right back with two more in the fifth as Schubert singled and stole second then scoring on a Griffith single. Bezold then scored Griffith with a solid shot to up the ante to 5-0.

Brossart wasn’t through yet. In the sixth Miller helped her own cause drilling a double to deep right and was replaced by courtesy runner Erica Riedeman. Riedeman advanced to third on a Krista Kennedy sacrifice and then scampered home on a grounder to short by Woeste. Moments later Baynum drilled a single up the middle to score Kennedy and make it 7-0.

Miller then closed the door in the seventh for her fourth shutout of the season.

The win over SK Came a week after Simon beat Clark Co. 1-0. Clark is the only team to hand top ranked Brossart a loss in 2010.

Simon Kenton escaped with a 4-2 JV win. Brossart was led by Maria Greis who reached base all three times with two hits and a base on balls.

Congrats to BB on the win. I am a little surprised by the final, BB is having a good year and seem to have earned the number 1 ranking.

Congrats to Brossart. Haven't seen them play this year. Other teams I have seen seem really down this year. Comments???

I am looking forward to seeing them play Walton later in the schedule. This will be a great game.

You may get to see this match-up somewhere in the All-A tournament as well.
