Adi Radecki and Isabelle Buuck teamed up to take care of Bishop Luers Tuesday night, allowing one hit over seven innings of combined work in the circle. Buuck also had a pair of hits as the Bellmont Braves beat the Knights 6-0 at home.
Taylor Sutter continued her hot hitting with two more hits, bringing her average up with six hits in her last six at-bats to a team-high .447.
The Braves spotted Radecki, who generally just pitches and doesn’t bat in the Braves lineup, two runs in the bottom of the first after the freshman struck out two in the opening half.
Oni Krueckeberg singled and scored as part of that opening rally, which ended with an out at home after the Knights walked Sutter on four pitches.
Radecki then settled in, allowing just a measly single for the only baserunner allowed in the next few innings. By the time she wrapped up her work in the fifth, she had seven Ks.
Buuck then came in and faced the minimum with a little help from a double play by Chevelle Oetting at second base in the top of the seventh. An inning earlier, Oetting had driven in two more runs for the home team.
Isabelle Mickley also had two hits for the Braves in the win.
The Braves will be back in action against DeKalb Wednesday night on the road.
