In Saturday’s contest the Lady Cats broke open a close game with an offensive explosion in their half of the sixth inning. It was a 5-2 contest heading into the sixth with the S-T girls holding the slim, three-run lead.

The Lady Cats scratched their way to eight big runs in the frame to jump out to a 13-2 advantage heading into the bottom of the sixth.
The Greyhounds barked loudly in the sixth with six runs of their own but just made it 13-8 in favor of the S-T girls with one inning left to play.
