The Habaneros had early opportunities but couldn&#8217;t capitalize. Mankato loaded the bases in the fourth, but Marleigh Louvar (University of St. Thomas) flew out to end the threat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the bottom of the fourth, the Night Mares broke the game open. Emma Kavanagh (University of Arizona) kicked off the rally with an RBI double, and Gretta Grassel (Mississippi State University) followed with a run-scoring single. Danielle Lucey (University of Wisconsin) and Trinity Kennemer (Metropolitan State University of Denver) kept it rolling, each driving in a run as the Night Mares piled on six runs to surge ahead 7-0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Night Mares stayed hot in the fifth. Hilary Blomberg (University of Wisconsin) doubled in a run and came around to score on a fielder\u2019s choice, making it 9-0. In the circle, Karlie McKenzie (Eastern Illinois University) silenced the Habaneros with a complete game shutout, lowering her league-leading ERA to 1.85.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">McKenzie earned the win for the Night Mares, while Ava Kleinfeldt (University of St. Thomas) was charged with the loss for the Habaneros.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Night Mares will head to La Crosse to face the Steam on Tuesday night at Warner Park.
