NEW BLOOMFIELD, Mo. - New Bloomfield junior center fielder Mackenzie Garrett had three hits, including a home run, and drove in three runs Thursday night to spark the Lady Wildcats to a 4-2 SMC win over Eugene.

Eugene got a run back in the top of the fifth, but Garrett answered with a solo home run in the bottom of the inning to seal the Lady Wildcats' win.
