the nightcap.
Ashley Brewer and Alyssa Bruckner
limited the Green Terror (11-14, 2-6 CC) to just seven hits in its
eighth and ninth shutouts of the season.
A leadoff error and sacrifice bunt followed by three singles in the

Doubles from Brewer and Ferrigno drove in three runs in the top of
the second to stretch the lead to 5-0 before the Mules tacked on
two more in the third for a 7-0 lead.

second.
Ferrigno followed with an RBI single and Brittany
Blohm added a sacrifice fly to set the final
