Game one was a pitching duel, as the Rangers were limited to six hits and
Allison Hausl gave up just seven to Quincy. The Hawks plated a run in the top of the first inning to grab an early lead and the Rangers responded with a run in the bottom of the third inning off an Aliverti RBI single that scored
Jessica Shields, but that was all Parkside's offense could muster up in game one. Quincy scored the go-ahead run in the top of the fourth inning and added an insurance run in the top of the sixth.
Morgan Sikon went 2-for-4 while Aliverti went 1-for-4 with an RBI and
Kellie Fenza went 1-for-4 with a stolen base.
In game two, Aliverti ripped a line drive to center field that scored Hausl to give the Rangers the win in the bottom of the eighth inning. Because the game was supposed to played at Parkside, the Rangers had the benefit of being the home team. Parkside pounded out 13 hits in game two, with four players finishing with multiple hits on the day. Sikon went 3-for-4 with a double,
Danielle Crockett went 2-for-4 with a run,
Adrien Hall hit a pair of doubles and drove in a run and Hausl went 2-for-3 with a pair of runs. Fenza and Shields, who is the conference leader in stolen bases, each stole a base in both games.
Per usual, freshman
Alyssa Hrncar pitched the complete game to earn the win and improve to 12-6 this season. She allowed eight hits and just three runs with a pair of strikeouts. It was her 17
th complete game of the season.
