Game 2 - Wayne State 9 Minn. Crookston 4

            The Wayne State College softball team rebounded from a disappointing doubleheader sweep at Bemidji State Saturday by winning two games Sunday at Minnesota Crookston 9-3 and 9-4 in Northern Sun Conference softball played in Crookston, Minnesota.  WSC is now 24-14 on the season and 10-8 in league play while UMC drops to 4-32 and 0-18 in the NSIC.
            Statistics from the first game were not available, although one highlight for the Wildcats was a grand slam home run by junior shortstop Sam O'Brien in the 9-3 victory.
            The second game saw sophomore first baseman Melanie Alyea hit a three-run homer to lead a balanced hitting attack as the Wildcats completed the sweep with a 9-4 victory.
            Trailing 2-1 heading into the third inning, WSC took the lead for good with two runs on a Kaiti Williams RBI double and a run-scoring single from Kelcie Bormann for a 3-2 Wildcat lead.
            WSC put the game out of reach with a four-run fifth inning, highlighted by a three-run homer from Alyea, that gave WSC a 7-3 lead. 
            The Wildcat closed out the scoring in the sixth on a two-run single by Bormann to cap a 12-hit attack.
            Alyea was one of four Wildcats to have two hits in the game, going 2 for 4 with a homer, double and three RBI.  Bormann finished 2 for 4 with three RBI while Williams was 2 for 4 with a double and two runs scored.  Lexie Loos also went 2 for 4 with two runs scored for the Wildcats.
            Bormann pitched a complete game win for the Wildcats, improving to 13-7 on the season.  She gave up four runs (one earned) on six hits with six strikeouts and one walk.
            Wayne State will be on the road again Tuesday afternoon visiting the University of Sioux Falls in a 3 p.m. doubleheader.
