GAME ONE
  • After seeing a 3-1 lead slip away, Jamestown rallied for a pair of runs in the top of the seventh and took game one by a score of 5-4.
  • Down 1-0 in the second, Trinity Gregg singled to score pinch-runner Marin Rasmussen and tie the score at 1-1.
  • Lauren Weigel homered to left field to put UJ ahead 3-1 in the top of the fifth, but the Vikings got within a run in the bottom half on a bases-loaded walk.
  • A two-run home run gave VCSU a 4-3 lead as the Jimmies came to bat in the top of the seventh.
  • The first three Jamestown batters reached base, and Maddie Spaeth tied the game with a  single to right field.
  • With one out and the bases still loaded, Kylie Yanzuk drew a walk to force home the go-ahead run.
  • Hope Ransome, who started in the circle and pitched the first 4 1/3 innings, returned in the bottom of the seventh and after allowing a leadoff single, retired the final three hitters for her fourth save.
  • Maddie Hairgrove (8-1) was the winning pitcher for the Jimmies despite giving up two runs on three hits with three walks in 1 2/3 innings.
  • Gregg (3-for-4) and Weigel (2-for-4) both had multi-hit games.
GAME TWO
  • Six of VCSU's 11 hits in game two left the yard, and the Vikings handed UJ its first conference loss in ten games.
  • An RBI double by Kayla Quintanilla in the top of the first gave the Jimmies an early 1-0 lead, but three VCSU home runs put the home team ahead 5-1 after one.
