The Mustangs welcomed Kent on a beautiful, sunny Wednesday afternoon.
A mix of lucky Kent balls falling into spots and solid hits, plus some Millbrook defensive miscues, allowed Kent to take the 8-1 win.
A big shout out to the Millbrook defense for having two 1-2-3 innings in the fifth and sixth when down 7-0; this showed some good mental toughness.
Millbrook plated their lone run in the bottom of the sixth. Jaicee Downs ‘26 hit her way on base before Emma Lattrell ‘29 moved her over with a bunt hit. Some great baserunning got Jaicee Downs into scoring position. Joiee Downs ‘29 then put the ball in play for an RBI fielder’s choice.
Some big defensive highlights:
2 plays at the plate on aggressive Kent baserunning both converted for outs, with great throws by Joiee Downs and great tags by Jaicee Downs
Great stretches for Kate Rubinstein ‘27 at first base
Massive defensive coverage from Joiee Downs at shortstop
Shoutout to Meghan Abbate ‘26 for her 10 strikeouts on the mound.
