NSU VS. MSU MOORHEAD GAME 1

Wolves pitcher Christi Schulte pitched four tough innings to keep NSU in the game early on Monday.  The game went into the fifth inning with MSU Moorhead leading just 1-0 after an unearned run in the second.  From there, however, the Dragons put together six hits and scored six runs to go up 7-0.  An additional seven runs were tallied in the sixth inning and MSUM won the first battle 14-0.

The Wolves sprinkled five hits throughout the six innings of play but were shut out in the game.  Schulte had a multi-hit game, going 2-for-3 at the plate.  She struck out four batters in 5.1 innings of work in the circle. 


NSU VS. MSU MOORHEAD GAME 2

The Wolves stayed away from big innings in the second game, with the most runs in a single inning coming in the first (3).  The Dragons improved their hit total from the first game, however, driving 13 hits through seven innings.  

Down 4-0 going into the bottom of the fourth, Wolves Sarah Curley and Jamie Horner led the frame off with outfield singles.  Heather Olson loaded the bases with a walk and NSU had a real threat going.  Lindsey Cegla showed patience at the plate and took a walk for NSU's first RBI.  Veronica Kelly drove in another run with a single up the middle and Northern set the score at 4-2.  Unfortunately, only one more player would reach base for the Wolves in the game.  The Dragons took the decision by a score of 6-2.

Breanna Milnes pitched the complete game, striking out nine but giving up all six earned runs.
