GAME 1: Northwood 2, Parkside 0
GAME 2: Parkside 5, Northwood 2
Sophomore Taylor Delgado ended Monday's doubleheader in an exciting way, launching a walkoff 3-run home run over the wall in right center field to give Parkside a 5-2 win in game two. With the win, the Rangers earned back-to-back splits against the top-2 teams in the GLIAC standings in No. 17 Grand Valley State and Northwood.

Parkside used a 4-run bottom of the seventh inning to comeback and stun Northwood, who were either leading or tied in every inning of the day until Delgado's walkoff. Parkside moved to 9-17 overall and 5-9 in the GLIAC.
 
GAME 1 RECAP
The Rangers were limited to just two hits in game one, which were spread out by sophomore Taylor Delgado and senior Kate Czoschke. Senior Allison Hausl pitched a good game for the Rangers, going the complete game allowing just four hits and two runs with six strikeouts. Northwood pushed runs across in the second and the sixth innings, while the Rangers brought the tying run to the plate in the sixth and seventh innings, but couldn't get the key hit they needed.

Northwood's Shayna Frank pitched the complete-game shutout with 12 strikeouts.
 
GAME 2 RECAP
Junior Kiley Akey and Northwood's Taylor Wright both pitched 4.0 shutout innings to start the game, but Northwood scored a pair of runs in the top of the fifth to grab a 2-0 lead. The Rangers responded in the bottom half of the inning, scoring a run on a Brenna Konstanty RBI single to make it 2-1. After the run, the Timberwolves went back to their best pitcher on the mound, Shayna Frank, who pitched the complete game shutout in game one.

In the bottom of the seventh, Hausl opened the inning with the game-tying home run to left center, her second of the season. Sophomore Jadynn Powell hit a one-out single and sophomore Dani Evans came through with a 2-out base hit to put runners on first and second for Delgado, who delivered for Parkside, sending a no-doubter over the fence in right center. 

Delgado finished 2-for-4 with the three RBI while Powell and Konstanty each went 2-for-3. Hausl went 1-for-2 with two runs, a home run and an RBI. Akey's final line went 5.0 innings, eight hits, two runs and three strikeouts while senior Tijanne Ross pitched the final 2.0 innings to earn the win, her second of the season.
