LAST TIME OUT
A four-run fifth inning powered Detroit past visiting Green Bay, 7-5, in a come-from-behind win Saturday morning at Buysse Ballpark. A bases-clearing double from
Shelby Long keyed the rally and gave Detroit the final game of the three-game series. Sophomore
Sara Cupp finished the day 3 for 3 with a homer and four RBI. Freshman
Alyssa Schaub scored a pair of runs and Long drove in two with her clutch double in the fifth.
