Vancleave fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Stone on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Tomcats by a score of 4-3.
Brooklyn Rhodes was huge no matter where she played even without the win. On the mound, she struck out ten batters over 7.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off eight hits (and only one walk). Rhodes has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive pitching appearances. Rhodes was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
Rhodes wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Kassie Sonnier, who scored a run while going 1-for-4.
