GAME ONE
COE 7 - LUTHER 5

Nicki Wood then drove home the opening run of the game with a double to right-center as Ball scored from second. Heather Boeckenstedt then walked in Coe's next plate appearance before Natalie Blank picked up the second RBI of the inning on a single to center. 
  • Luther immediately answered in the bottom of the inning, scoring a pair of runs on two hits. White allowed three-straight baserunners with one out before a big two-run double for the Norse as the hosts tied the game at two.

  • The Kohawks took an early lead in the second game, getting a pair of RBIs in the opening inning. Blank singled with one down and moved all the way to third on an error. Madi Parson then walked before Bree Mangelsen picked up a sacrifice fly to score Blank. Ball then made it 2-0 with an RBI single, allowing Parson to score from second.
