3-2 in game one to Manchester College, but then rallied for the 8-0

reclaim the lead in the top of the sixth. HU failed to answer and
dropped the first game.

In game two, the Forester bats finally
came alive. HU banged out five hits and scored six runs in the bottom
of the first to take command of the game. Laura Baas drove in
two on a double to left followed by a Janalee Boroff fielders' choice
that drove in Baas. Ashley Scally's infield hit scored Keri
Badenhop, then Tabitha Truax doubled in Scally. Finally Megan Smith
belted a triple to left that plated Truax to complete the scoring in
the inning.
The Foresters added two more in the
third and then held the Spartans scoreless to end the game early.
Scally picked up her first win of the season with the shutout.
She went the distance and allowed just three hits and a walk while
striking out five in the victory. Truax went 2-2 at the plate to lead
HU.
