CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Senior Brittany Mynsberge drove in two runs and freshmen Trisha Kowalewski went 2-for-4 with two RBI as the duo helped power the Bradley Softball team to a 6-3 victory over Virginia as the Braves wrapped up play at the Frost Classic in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Bradley finished with the weekend with a 2-4 record at the Frost Classic in the first action of the season.

The Braves plated two runs in the top of the third inning to take a 3-0 lead. With runners at first and second with two outs, Kowalewski drove in the first of two runs in the game with a single to center field that scored pinch runner Christine Cooney from second base. A Virginia error on a ground ball hit by Elizabeth Wilson allowed junior Joanna Pettit to score from second base with the second run of the inning.

Freshman Stephanie Ramsey drew a walk to lead off the fourth inning and Bergeson belted her second double of the day to put runners at second and third with no outs. Mynsberge drove in Ramsey from third base with a ground ball, but Bergeson was tagged out on the play. Pettit and senior Angela Toures followed with singles as Mynsberge crossed the plate on Toures' single to push the Braves lead to 5-0.
