(Mankato Habaneros)
Honeybees defeat Habaneros 7-2.
Starting in the circle for the Habaneros is Sailor Hall (Pitt State). Hall has been on a roll lately and looks to continue her successes. She leaves right where she left off with a 1,2,3 inning. 0-0
Julianna Verni (Syracuse University) starts in the circle for the Honeybees. Verni goes 1, 2, 3 as well, and we head to the top of the second. 0-0
Sailor Hall with another 1,2,3 inning mowing down all Honeybee hitters. 0-0
Verni answers with a 1,2,3 inning of her own, and we have perfect games from both pitchers through 2 innings.
Taylor Chillingworth (San Jose State University) would break it up with a leadoff single. Another infield single from the Honeybees and they have runners on the corners. Carly Cummings would come through with an RBI single to put the Honeybees on top 1-0.
The Habaneros tie this one up due to some sloppy defense from Minot. 1-1 going to the top of the 4th.
Emma Lee (Trine University) deserves to be on SC Top 10 after an absolute robbery of a homerun in centerfield. Bella Cimino gets an RBI triple to put the Honeybees up one. Then Emma Vike (South Dakota State University) hits a 2-run homerun to left. 4-1 Honeybees.
Indigo Fish breaks up the No hitter, but the Habaneros leave her stranded. 4-1 Honeybees.
Sailor Hall lets up a hit, but no runs allowed as we head to the bottom of the 5th. 4-1 Honeybees.
Alexis Michon gets a leadoff single for the Habaneros. Nothing going and Verni is rolling. 4-1 Honeybees.
Maddie Wihlm (North Dakota State University) in to pitch for the Habaneros. A leadoff walk for the Honeybees. Alyssa Herrera (University of California) shows off the arm behind the dish with a CS 2-4. Lazy Habanero defense causes the Honeybees to get two more across the plate with one due to a ball going out of play. The Honeybees steal home to put an exclamation point on the Habanero. 7-1 Honeybees.
Leadoff walk for the Honeybees. Wihlm locks it in with help from an impressive diving catch in left field from Finley Anderson. 7-1 Honeybees.
A Skylinn Pogue walk, followed by an Alexis Michon RBI double gives the Habaneros their second run of the game. Not enough.
