GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Indiana Wesleyan responded with a run in the bottom of the second, and added another in the third to tie the score.
  • The Cougars grabbed the lead again in the sixth inning. A sacrifice fly by Marwede allowed Taylor to cross the plate to put SAU on top 3-2.
  • However, the No. 10 ranked Wildcats rallied back one more time, getting a three-run home run in the home half of the sixth.
  • Taylor went 2-for-2 with two runs scored to lead the Cougar offense.
  • Kelsey Brown limited one of the nation's top offenses to five runs over six innings of work. She also struck out five batters.

 
 

GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Lauren Heath countered with three scoreless frames to start the game, working her way around a bases loaded jam in the first inning and two SAU errors in the third.
  • The Wildcats were finally able to break through, however, in the fourth inning on a solo home run by Emily Hastings. The home team would tack on two more runs in the fifth.
  • Brock, Brown, Jordan Burman and Aubrey Herrema picked up hits in the game.
