OMAHA, Neb. ? South Dakota State split a double header with Creighton on Thursday where both teams won, and lost, via the long ball. The Bluejays hit three homeruns in the first game, two by Michelle Graner, on their way to an 8-0 game 1 win.
Steph Kuhl led the way to a Jackrabbit win in game 2. The senior slugger put the Jacks up 6-1 with a three run homerun, her school best 23rd career dinger, in the third inning and knocked in her 121st career RBI in the fifth, which ties the SDSU all-time mark.
Graner's first homerun, a solo shot in the third inning, got Creighton on the board, her second came in the sixth, and put the Bluejays up 8-0, thus ending the game after six innings.
In between, T.J. Eadus hit a two run blast in the fifth.
Amanda Fedson got the only hit for the Jackrabbits, as Amanda Hess pitched a one-hit gem for the Bluejays to improve her record to 7-3.
Kim Westendorf took the loss for the Jacks, who fall to 9-14.
The second game of the day played out much differently than the first, as SDSU found its bats in the top of the second and quickly overcame a 1-0 deficit.
With runners on second and third with one out, Dani Broshar came through with a two-RBI single up the middle to put the Jacks up 2-1.
Broshar scored later in the inning on a Fedson single, and the Jacks finished the inning up two runs at 3-1.
The Jacks got three more in the third, when Kuhl extended her SDSU homerun record, to 23, and the SDSU lead to 6-1, with a three-run blast over the left field fence.
Creighton scored one run in the bottom of the fourth inning to get back within four runs, but Kuhl got the run back in the top of the fifth, when she singled home Samantha Heinzman, thus tying the SDSU career RBI record at 121.
SDSU got three more runs in the sixth, the first two on a Heinzman ground rule double and the third came when Kiley Schwedhelm reached on an error that allowed Heinzman to score.
The Jacks tacked on more in the seventh on a Brittany Postma single, salting away the Jackrabbits 11-3 win.
Jenna Marston went the distance for the Jacks to improve her record to 5-5 on the season. Marston scattered seven hits, struck out five and walked two.
South Dakota State improves to 10-14 on the season, and returns to action on Friday at the Iowa Tournament against the host Hawkeyes.
First pitch from Iowa City is scheduled for 5 p.m.
