The Reds bats were hot in game 2 vs. the Sky View Bobcats on Wednesday as they put up 9 runs in the top of the first inning. A HBP, a single by Haylee Campbell and a walk to Shaylee Johnson loaded the bases without an out and Lexi Ludlow delivered a 2 run single to open the scoring. Two quick outs later and the Reds were hoping to deliver a two out rally which they did in a big way aided by some sloppy defense by the Bobcats. A walk to Hayley Ennis and an error on a Mya Bishoff fly ball plated another Cedar Run. Paytyn Houston knocked in two more runners with a single to get the Reds back to the top of the order. Geddes drew a walk and then the big blow came off the bat of Haylee Campbell who hit a grand slam to open up a 9-0 lead before the Reds had to take the field defensively. The Reds would add 2 more runs in the top of the third on singles by Shaylee Johnson and Sadie Parson, another run in the top of the 5th with a 2 out double steal with Haylee Campbell taking home plate. The final 2 runs of the game for the Reds were scored when Lexi Ludlow took the Sky View pitcher deep for a 2 run home run. Sadie Parson managed her way through the Sky View line up throughout the game allowing 7 runs in the 7 innings but did just enough to keep the lead and help the Reds to move on.
