Centerfielder Brittany Castiglione, the lone Lady Rover senior, was honored before the game then enjoyed a two-RBI, two-run performance.
But she was far from alone as Brockway, which pushed its record over .500 at 7-6, scored seven runs in the second and six in the third inning to blow the game open.
Cinnamon Monteville went 3-for-3 with two doubles and three runs batted in. Alyssa Daub enjoyed a 2-for-2 day with three RBIs, Michelle Mancuso went 2-for-4, scored twice and knocked in three runs and pitcher LeeAnn Holt went 2-for-4 while scoring three runs.
Holt had little trouble with the Lady Bulldogs, allowing a run on two hits with a walk and five strikeouts in four innings.
With the game tied at 1-1 entering the bottom of the second inning, Brockway started to hammer the ball.
Daub walked, then Emily Ruff singled. Zoe Hawkins, running for Ruff, and Daub executed a double steal. That set the table for Monteville, who delivered a two-run double to the gap in left-center.
Holt brought home Monteville with a squeeze bunt and she later scored to make it 5-1. Later, Julie Genevro and Daub each singled in runs to make it 8-1.
In the third, Monteville got the ball rolling with a double to left, then Sasha Fields singled.
Groundouts by Holt and Castiglione scored runs while Daub doubled in two more.
"We didn't know much about Redbank, but a win is a win at this point as we're trying to improve our playoff seeding," Brockway head coach Don Allenbaugh said.
The Lady Rovers return to action Monday at St. Marys.
