JACKRABBIT WINNING STREAK HITS 10
4/3/2021 5:01:00 PM | Softball
MACOMB, Ill. – South Dakota State extended its winning streak to 10 games, sweeping a Summit League softball doubleheader from Western Illinois by scores of 3-2 and 7-0 Saturday at Mary Ellen McKee Stadium.
The Jackrabbits improved to 23-4 overall and remained undefeated in league play at 8-0. SDSU has yet to play a home game this season. Western Illinois dropped to 11-19 overall and 2-6 in The Summit League.
GAME 1: SDSU 3, WESTERN ILLINOIS 2
The Jackrabbits rallied for two runs in the top of the seventh inning to pull out the one-run victory, 3-2.
Lindsey Culver started the game-winning rally with a leadoff triple and scored the tying run on a wild pitch. Jocelyn Carrillo then followed with a solo home run to right-center.
SDSU starter Grace Glanzer went the distance, ending the game with a strikeout after a two-out triple by Alyssa Ealy put the tying run 60 feet away. Glanzer struck out four, did not issue a walk and scattered five hits in improving to 10-2 on the season.
Western Illinois shortstop Sydney Hollings drove in both runs for the Leathernecks. She hit a solo home run in the second inning for the first run of the game and delivered a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning that gave the Leathernecks a momentary 2-1 lead.
The Jackrabbits' first run came in the fifth inning on an RBI triple by Peyton Daugherty that scored Rozelyn Carrillo. Daugherty and Cylie Halvorson each tallied two of SDSU's seven hits.
WIU starter Abby Carlin struck out seven and walked one in a complete-game effort.
GAME 2: SDSU 7, WESTERN ILLINOIS 0
The Jackrabbits hit four home runs and freshman Tori Kniesche pitched her second shutout of the weekend, finishing with a one-hitter in a 7-0 decision.
Three of SDSU's home runs were hit in the third inning. Cheyanne Masterson started the barrage with a solo home run to left-center, while Emma Osmundson and Halvorson slugged back-to-back homers later in the frame. Masterson and Osmundson each recorded their second home runs of the season, while Halvorson's was her team-leading 10th of the year.
Culver continued to torment Western Illinois pitching with her fifth home run of the series – and seventh of the season -- a two-run homer in the fifth. An RBI single by Halvorson in the seventh inning closed out the scoring.
Culver was 3-for-4 to pace SDSU's 10-hit attack. Osmundson and Halvorson each collected two hits.
Kniesche finished with 12 strikeouts, allowing only a leadoff single to Bella Alvarez in the third inning. The right-hander from Wayne, Nebraska, closed out her 11th victory of the season by fanning the side in order. She struck out at least two batters in each of the last four innings and five innings total.
UP NEXT
The Jackrabbits are scheduled to play a single game Wednesday at Creighton. First pitch is set for 3 p.m. at the Creighton Sports Complex in Omaha, Nebraska.
