The St. Joseph Lady Bulldogs have proven to be nearly unstoppable force in the 2A 5-North Conference with a 9-3 record.

St. Joe trumped Bauxite, 10-6, Thursday, and Abundant Life, 19-2, on Monday. These wins have kept the Lady Bulldogs second in their conference.

“We are peaking at the right time,” coach Lisa Bates said, adding that pitcher Jordan Justice had been exceptionally strong for the team this year.

Morgan Kordsmeier, Rachel Briggler, and Justice all had a big game Monday against Abundant Life. Kordsmeier went 4-for-4, Briggler went 3-for-4 and Justice 2-for-4.

St. Joseph finished with 12 hits, 19 runs and no errors. Justice went the complete game on the mound.

“We played a strong game defensively,” Bates said.

This was the last conference game for the Lady Bulldogs. They will resume games after the Easter holiday, giving them a break to prepare for the post-season.
