MSU continued its streak of putting runs on the board early, as senior Kayla Ashbrook brought home fellow senior Adrena Anderson in the first inning of game one.

Senior Katie Post earned her team-leading fourth victory of the season in the complete game. She struck out five to bring her season total to 37.

MSU did it again in the second contest, as it pulled off the commanding victory over NSU.
Wagner started things off in the bottom of the first with a broken-bat RBI to score Anderson, and the Eagles tacked on 10 more runs in a third-inning explosion for the 11-1 lead. The inning included Ashbrook’s second home run of the season.
The Eagles finished off the game with flawless defense and went on for the mercy-rule victory.
