ARMY HIGHLIGHTS AND GAME NOTES
- Army captured its 70th win all-time against Holy Cross.
- Newbary picked up her fifth win of the season.
- Reilly extended her hitting streak to 13 games.
- She crossed home multiple times in a game for the fourth time this season.
- Lacey Swafford tallied a hit for the eighth straight game.
- It was the seventh time this season that the Black Knights stole multiple bases in a single game.
- Amelia Trotter stole her 11th base of the season and is a perfect 11-for-11 in stolen base attempts.
- Kristen McPeek and Izzy Gates each picked up a hit for the third consecutive game.
Â
- In the second, Reilly ripped a leadoff double into the gap in right center. McPeek then reached on a Crusader fielding error before stealing second to put two Cadets in scoring position with no outs. Taylor Drayton was due up next and she lifted a ball to deep left for a sacrifice fly to put Army ahead 1-0.
- The Black Knights added a pair of insurance runs in the fourth. With one out, Reilly and McPeek notched back-to-back singles and Army had runners on the corners once Reilly tagged up on a Drayton fly out. A run was then plated after Gates shot an RBI single into left. McPeek advanced to third on the Gates base knock and later came in to score on a passed ball to extend Army's lead to three, 3-0.
- The Crusaders countered with a pair of runs of their own in the home half of the fourth to pull within one.
- Army's one-run lead ultimately held though, despite Holy Cross threatening in the seventh by getting a runner to third in the inning.
