The Broncos earned their first win of the season in the first leg of a doubleheader over the Knights.

Trailing 3-2 entering the bottom of the sixth, BR-H got its first seven batters on base. Stella Rebitzke scored on a Norway error to tie the game at 3.

With the bases loaded, Faith Javurek blooped the first pitch of the at-bat on the grass in right field for a two-run single and a 5-3 lead.

On the first pitch of her ensuing at-bat, Aubrey Gagnon belted a double to centerfield, driving in two more runs for a 7-3 lead.

Abbie Ingersoll went the distance, allowing four earned runs off nine hits, walked two and struck out three. Taylor Klee and Ella Gonzales each finished 3-for-4 with the former scoring three times and the latter driving in a run.
