GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Pitching for the final time at the Cougar Softball Field, senior Kelsey Brown was spectacular in the circle. Brown went the distance tossing seven shutout innings while limiting MVNU to just two hits.
  • The Cougar offense gave Brown all the run support she would need with two runs in the third inning. After back-to-back hits by Kyla Semones and Brown, Hope Longenbarger delivered a base hit to bring around both base runners.
  • Jade Nowe added an insurance run in the fourth inning with a solo home run – her fourth long ball of the season.

 
 

GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Spring Arbor brought eight batters to the plate in the bottom of the first and scored two runs to grab an early lead.
  • That would be all the runs SAU managed, however, as MVNU pitcher Sarah Boue' settled in and finished the game with six scoreless frames.
  • Mount Vernon Nazarene took the lead with three runs in the second inning. The visitors would also tack on an insurance run in the seventh.
  • The Cougars were limited to just five hits in the nightcap – all singles.
  • Lauren Heath worked seven strong innings in the circle. She surrendered four runs – only three earned – on nine hits with two strikeouts.
