Offensively, senior
Morgan Hasty (Salem, Ind.) went 2-for-3 at the plate including her team-leading seventh double of the year.
In game two, JCSU scored in every inning except the second in taking the 10-0 win. Hasty again provided the offensive spark, going 3-for-3 with a two-run home run, her third round-tripper of the year. Sophomore
Kaitlin Santos (Honolulu, Hi.) also had a great outing, going 3-for-4 while driving in three. Daniels and Mahoney each had a triple in game two, with Daniels going 3-for-4 with two RBI with Mahoney driving in one.
Lopez also got the pitching win in game two, upping her record to 7-5 on the season.
