The Bishop Brossart junior varsity closed out the season in style beating Conner 8-1 to finish the season 16-3.
    Freshman Erin Franke scattered three hits over seven innings and allowed just one unearned run, striking out 6 enroute to her 16th win.
    The Lady 'Stangs had timely hitting, good defense, and solid pitching to hand Conner just it's fourth loss of the seaosn in 20 games.
    Anna Dischar, Molly Williams, Erin Holtz and Tricia Bode all had two hits to lead Brossart. Dischar managed two hits, and had four stolen bases. Holtz drove home 4 and Williams had two rbis. Bode had a double, rbi, and was hit by the pitch reaching base three times. 
        The Lady 'Stangs varsity fast pitch team battled second ranked Conner all the way Saturday afternoon in a good District tuneup for both teams.
    Conner's Kelsey Robinson, a senior, and Brossart's Alicia Miller, a sophomore, two of the area's top pitchers hooked up in a pitchers duel won this time by Robinson. Both pitchers allowed only three baserunners for the 59 minute contest. Neither team made an error in the contest. The difference was two home runs by Conner that accounted for two of their three hits. Brossart managed a single by Lindsay Griffith, a walk to Paige Baynum and Emily Schubert reached on a throwing error by Conner second baseman Brittany Hempfling.
    In the second inning Conner firstbaseman Sarah Begley rode a high 0-2 pitch over the right centerfield fence at Pendery Park to put Conner up 1-0. In the fifth inning Robinson hit her first career home run lofting it over the left field fence just inside the foul pole and that was all the scoring. Conner is now 19-9, Brossart 23-10.
    Bishop Brossart will play the Silver Grove/Calvary Christian winner in the 37th District at Campbell Co. Tuesday at 6:30. Scott plays Campbell Co. in the other semifinal.
