New Richmond(14-3, 10-2) swept the Cardinals(17-4, 9-3) 5-2(8) and 8-4 to grab sole possession of first place in the BRC and improve their position for next week's Division One Seeding Meeting.
In game one the Cards came back from a 1-0 deficit to lead 2-1 thanks to hits by Lauren Shepherd, Mykle Buhrow, and Makenna Bauer, but NR came back to tie it at 2 in the top of the 7th and win it with three runs in the top of the 8th. In game two the Tigers built up a 6-0 lead before Paige Steinmetz hit her fourth homer of the year in the 6th. While the Cards scored three in the 7th it was too little as they fell by four.
