MANKATO, MN – It was a tough day for the Habaneros as they lost both games against the Night Mares. Even with the two losses, the Habaneros lineup still showed just how dominant they have been in the league.

Jessa Snippes (University of Minnesota) hit her third home run in three games. On the mound, she also threw two strikeouts facing 36 batters, ending her night with a 4.01 ERA.

Six different players brought in the runs, but unfortunately it wouldn’t be enough for the Habaneros to get the win.

Game two was another tough loss as the Habaneros narrowly lost 9-8.

Paige Zender (Iowa State) hit both her 11^th and 12^th home runs on the season.

Brooke Holmes (St. Cloud State University) also got another home run to add to the season.
