Breese Central let Civic Memorial stack four runs on them in the first inning on Saturday but luckily Breese Central prevailed anyway. The Cougars skirted past the Eagles 6-4.
Lily Lappe spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on four hits and racked up six Ks.
