GAME ONE | L, 5-1
  • Rosie Bartletti started in the circle for UIS, keeping the Prairie Stars in the game by holding the Miners scoreless through three innings.
  • Missouri S&T took a 1-0 lead in the fourth on a solo home run by Sydney Anderson, her sixth of the season. The Miners then added four runs in the sixth on three hits and a wild pitch.
  • UIS scored its lone run in the bottom of the sixth when Taylor Zawacki doubled to bring home Malia Bender, who had also doubled earlier in the inning.
  • Addyson McClure pitched the final 1.1 innings, allowing just one hit and preventing further damage. However, UIS struggled to string hits together, ultimately falling 5-1. Bartletti took the loss, dropping to 9-5.

  • UIS added three more runs in the third on four more hits. Koral Keehner drove in two runs, and Rivera drew a bases-loaded walk to extend the lead to 7-2. 
  • The Miners managed an RBI double in the fifth and an RBI single in the seventh, but UIS maintained control to secure the 7-4 victory.
