**RECORD BREAKER**
Congratulations to Claire Honer on setting a new school record for most stolen bases in a season for Softball! She currently has 30 stolen bases, breaking the previous record of 25, which was shared by Mary Libbesmeier and Heather Henkemeyer (1996), and Kendra Albers (2009). This record will be updated in the records at the end of the softball season, as Claire still has quite a few games to go yet this year! Congratulations Claire!!

In the bottom of the 9th inning, the Cubs scored with 2 outs to secure the CMC 7-6 victory. In the evening tilt, Kimball trailed 1-4 heading into the 7th inning. The Cubs scored 2 runs on 2 hits and a sacrifice bunt to cut the BBE lead to 4-3. Kimball was unable to score the base runner on third base, falling short 3-4 in the nightcap. Way to go Cubs! #KimballBaseball
