BGM takes 8-2 win over Bravettes

BROOKLYN – BGM used some late game productivity in an 8-2 varsity softball win over the Bravettes on Wednesday, June 23.

BGM took a 2-0 lead into the fourth inning, but the Bravettes scored their two runs to tie the score.

The Bears plated three in their half of the fifth, and cruised in.

Katie Reynolds was two-for-three for Montezuma, driving home both Montezuma runs with a double. She also had a stolen base.

Izzy Roorda was two-for-four and Kallie Robison was two for three.

Jordan Ranfeld had a stolen base.

Five players had two hits each for BGM, which also went five-for-five in stolen bases.

Isabelle Austin was in the middle of everything for the Bears. She drove in two runs with two hits. She also pitched, scattering Montezuma’s hits.

Austin threw all seven innings, allowing two runs, both earned. She walked four and struck out three.

Robison pitched all six frames for the Bravettes. She allowed eight runs, all earned. She didn’t walk a batter and fanned one.

The Bravettes fell to 8-14 overall, including 4-8 in SICL play.

BGM stood at 8-10 and 6-6.
