Jessa Snippes (University of Minnesota) had two runs which brought her average up to a .318.

Jenna Sprague took over for Hall facing 11 batters, with 1 strikeout, ending the game with a 3.03 ERA.

Even though the Habaneros couldn’t pull out the win, their lineup still showed up to play and impress on what was dubbed as Eras Night which brought the fans to ISG.

The Habaneros will travel to La Crosse to play in their rescheduled matchup, then head to Minot to face the Honeybees again as they look to get back to their winning ways.
