Brookfield won three straight games to claim second place in the Nan Carter Softball Tournament. The Lady Dogs dropped an 8-6 decision to Gallatin, before knocking off Trenton, 11-0, Platte Valley, 15-6 and Princeton, 8-2. Despite outclassing Trenton in their game, Brookfield lost out on "top-dog" honors due to a runs-allowed tiebreaker. Trenton allowed one less run than the 'Dogs to win the three-way tiebreaker, which also included Gallatin.
The Lady Dogs started quickly in their opener, as Hadlye Sacrey cracked a two-run home run.

Brookfield cruised to a 13-0 lead against Platte Valley, fueled by Mya Sackrey's second two-run HR and Gracyn Beckman's grand slam. The Broncos batted around in the bottom of third, scoring six runs and making the game a focus of interest in regards to the tiebreaker.
In the finale, Princeton plated a pair of runs in the top of the first, but Brookfield responded with a five spot, sparked by single RBI by the Sackrey duo and Calvert. The Lady Dogs added three more runs, while holding the Tigers scoreless the rest of the game.
