The Brats lost the opening game of the doubleheader 4-0. The Brats got exceptional pitching from Kristen Mahoney. The Brats only hit was a perfectly executed drag bunt from Jenna Lipscomb. It was the first time in a long time that a team has gone 7 inning with the Brakettes. In the 2nd game, it looked like the Brats would hang with the Brakettes again until the inning from hell(sloppy defensive play) put an end to that. The Brakettes scored 12 runs in the second inning all with 2 outs with the final score eventually being 14-5. The good news is the Brats were able to score 5 runs, only 1 other team, a professional team(Philadelphia Force) has scored 5 or more runs against the Brakettes......scoring 5 runs is a great accomplisment. Emily Leverone led the Brats with 2 hits, with Marissa Palumbo, Brenna Morrissey, & Ashley Bilodeau having a hit of their own. Marissa Palumbo, Casey Stoodley, & Brenna Morrissey all shined defensively.
