Gray just missed hitting for the cycle, instead kicking off her three-hit affair with a second inning triple that led to E-town’s first run. Gray’s first RBI, courtesy of a fifth inning double, helped the Lady Bears turn a 3-2 deficit into a 7-3 lead while her second RBI tacked on a final insurance run in the sixth. Sydney Stewart was not part of the two RBI quartet, but she did push across Etown’s first run with a fielder’s choice in the second frame. Brooke Bryan and Ava Fair were part of that
