Big 12 run 6th Inning Seals it for Millbrook

The Mustangs travelled to Hamden Hall for a WNEPSGSBA Class C play-in game v Hamden Hall.

The Mustangs got on the board in the 2nd inning when Aaliyah Almeida homered with two outs, scoring Natalia Danyluk. 

The Mustangs added three more runs in the 3rd inning. Kate Craig started off the hitting with a single, followed by Morgan Reed, Tommi Nash, and Danielle Singer.

Hamden Hall battled back in the 4th, adding two runs.

In that inning, Reed, An Tran, Nash, Danyluk, Almeida, and Craig added singles, with Najork and Hylan adding doubles. The Mustangs came out strong defensively in the bottom of the 6th – which started with Jess Trocchio making a great catch in right field and Danyluk sealing the deal with two strikeouts.

On the day: Nash, Najork, Alemida, Hylan, and Craig with 3 hits apiece; Reed and Singer with 2 hits each. Najork and Almeida with 5 RBIs  piece. And Danyluk with 6 strikeouts from the circle.
