Box Score

MADEIRA, Fla. -- South Dakota State softball claimed its sixth-consecutive victory Tuesday, taking down Toledo 8-3.

The Jackrabbits (14-7) used a fast start to take control early, building a six-run lead through the first two innings while racking up 11 total hits on the day.

Grace Glanzer (11-2) started and threw five complete innings. She struck out eight and worked around two hits and two walks before Olivia Douglas entered in relief. Douglas pitched the next 2.1 frames, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk. Emma Hardin earned the final two outs and logged a strikeout.

Cylie Halvorson was 3-for-5 on the day with a three-run home run. Peyton Daugherty and Olivia Pfiefer each had two hits, as Pfeifer scored a pair of runs. Chiara Bassi picked up two RBIs with a double, Lindsey Culver worked a pair of walks and Allison Beaudry added a solo home run for the Jackrabbit offense.

A five-run first inning opened with three-straight hits, as Daugherty and Pfeifer singled and Halvorson followed with a three-run home run. After Kelsey Lenox walked and Mia Elliott reached on an error, two more Jackrabbits came around as Bassi ripped a double to left.

State pushed another run across in the second thanks to a Lenox RBI single that plated Pfeifer (who reached earlier on an error).

That 6-0 lead held until the fifth when a Beaudry solo shot stretched SDSU's advantage to seven.

Toledo got on the board with a three-run home run in the sixth. That was as close as the Rockets would come, though, as the Jackrabbits scratched another run across on Daugherty's RBI single in the seventh, then worked out of danger in the bottom of the frame to secure the win.
