GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS
  • Saint Francis scored in the second inning to grab a quick 1-0 lead, but a two-run blast by Hamp in the third put SAU in front.
  • In the fourth inning, freshman Maddy Thrush hit her first collegiate home run – a three-run shot – to give the Cougars a 5-1 advantage.
  • That was plenty of run support for Hamp, who tossed a complete game allowing only one run over seven innings of work while fanning seven batters.
 
 
GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS
  • Saint Francis jumped on Spring Arbor early in game two, scoring seven runs over the first three innings, and the visitors never looked back.
  • Kelsey Sturgeon went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored. Three other Cougars recorded a pair of hits, including Jessie Panchaud, Sarah Matlock and Abbie Funk.
