runner on base, with Shelby Sheehan drawing a walk, but a strike out and a
double play retired Calvin’s first half efforts.

through the gap between third and short to score two runs and Sarah Hall and
Kristin Toney each tallied RBI’s to finish the first half of the inning on top
by six.

Spoelstra and Hannah DeWeerd would record hits for the Knights, the game ended
after five innings with Calvin unable to score a run.
The loss dropped starting pitcher Lina Avila to 1-3, while Adrian’s ace Kelly
Eberhardt improved to 14-0.

the second half of a double header with Adrian. Their efforts fell just short
however, as the Knights lost the game 2-1.

Marie Prins. Prins got on base with a single to center field and Avila hit her
home with a single and a fielding error that allowed her to advance to third
base.
With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Adrian found some two out magic to
conclude the game. After two quick outs, Maggie Hein singled to left field and
Katie Adams hit a walk-off triple to give the Bulldogs the victory.

and allowing only six hits. The loss however, moves her record to 1-5.Kelly
