Senior left fielder, #15, Lily Corrigan, making the catch in right field.

But the Lady Wildcats would answer in the late innings, holding the Bruin girls scoreless in the bottom of the fifth and going on to score fifteen runs in the final three innings to comeback and get the 12-19 win in the first game of the afternoon.

Junior firstbaseman, #7, making the out at first, also had a homerun, going 6 for 7, scoring 9 runs with 7 RBI.

Senior catcher, Brynn Hodges, #3, lining up a base hit.

But it would be the third inning that the Bruin girls would take control of the game and put the game away after first allowing only one Glide baserunner across the plate in the top of the inning, before pounding the Lady Wildcats for twelve runs in their half of the inning, to go on and take the 19-4 Bruin girls win.

The Bruin girls will be home Monday afternoon, hosting the Coquille Lady Red Devils in an afternoon double-header with the first pitch scheduled for 3:00pm.
