GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS
• A pair of six-run innings accounted for nearly all of the Jimmies' offensive output against VCSU.
• Gracie Fisher, Kayla Quintanilla, and Hope Ransome each had run-scoring singles, Gentrey Turin doubled in another run, and Maddie Spaeth and Camryn Schwab also drove in runs as UJ sent 10 batters to the plate in the first.
• VCSU got a pair of runs back in the bottom of the first as Logan Gronberg homered after Andrea Rodriguez reached on a fielder's choice.
• Quintanilla homered to lead off the top of the third, then tripled home Sonya Rodgers an inning later as Jamestown pushed its lead to 8-2.
• The top of the fifth saw UJ post its second six-run inning of the game. Turin hit a double to drive in Kylie Yanzuk and Ransome, then came home on Trinity Gregg's triple. Spaeth singled in Gregg for the fourth run of the inning. A wild pitch later scored pinch runner Amanda Burch, and Rodgers would come home on Ally Battistoni's two-out single.
• Ransome pitched all five innings for her first win as a Jimmie. She struck out four and gave up two earned runs on six hits.
• Turin was 3-for-3 at the plate and Quintanilla also finished with three hits. Fisher, Schwab, and Samarah Martinez all had two hits each.
 
GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS
• Abby Blair struck out seven and allowed just three hits in six scoreless innings as UJ blanked Dickinson State 6-0. She threw 62 of 82 pitches for strikes to improve to 1-1 on the year.
• Maddie Spaeth's two-out, bases-clearing single staked UJ to a 3-0 in the top of the third.
• Camryn Schwab made it 4-0 for the Jimmies with a two-out double in the top of the fourth.
• Schwab put down a squeeze bunt to score Ally Battistoni, but was safe on a fielding error that helped Sonya Rodgers move from first to third. One out later, pinch-runner Sidnie Aasen's delayed steal of second base allowed Rodgers to score on a stolen base of her own for the sixth Jimmie run.
• Bristol Foytik came on in relief of Blair in the seventh and preserved the shutout. She struck out one and allowed one hit in an inning of work.
• Battistoni was 2-for-4 at the plate and five other players had one hit for UJ.
