NATCHEZ — Even though the Cathedral Lady Green Wave had just two hits off St. Aloysius pitcher Avery Parman, it was the two that made the difference.

Both McKenzie Milligan and Baylee Graning had a single, stole two bases and scored a run in leading Cathedral to a hard-fought 3-2 win over the Lady Flashes Thursday afternoon in an MHSAA Region 7-1A game.

Cathedral scored first in the bottom of the third inning, but St. Aloysius took the lead with a two-run rally in the top of the sixth inning. However, the Lady Green Wave responded with a two-run rally of its own in the bottom of the sixth.

Caroline Kaiser reached on a walk, stole one base and later scored one of the Lady Green Wave’s three runs. Mackenzie Watts had an RBI sacrifice fly and Milligan had one RBI.

Cathedral (5-5, 1-1) next plays at the Catholic Tournament at St. Aloysius Saturday.
