Back in action at Casper Park, Chi-Hi (4-0, 4-0 Big Rivers Conference), gave up a run in the top of the first against Hudson (2-2, 2-2 BRC), before a pair of homers from sophomore catcher Lauren Shepherd and senior second baseman Mykle Buhrow, each with two outs in the second, gave them back the lead.
The Raiders responded with 5 runs in the top of the second, and carried that 6-3 lead into the bottom of the third, when Chi-Hi's patience at the plate pulled them back even, plating another three runs.
After a scoreless top of the 4th, the offensive fireworks began again for the Lady Cards. With the bases loaded, Shepherd came to the plate and blasted a grand slam to left center field to blow the game open.
Chi-Hi did not score again, but strong pitching and defense preserved the lead as they remained unbeaten to start the year.
