Box Score             Wayne State scored four runs in the fifth and sixth innings, then held off a seventh inning rally by Wayne State of Michigan to edge the Warriors 4-3 Saturday afternoon at the National Training Center Spring Softball Games in Clermont, Florida.  The Wildcats improved to 11-7 with the win while the Warriors slip to 4-7.
            Wayne State Michigan appeared to be in control of the game through four-plus innings, scoring single runs in the first and fourth innings, to hold a 2-0 lead on the Wildcats while limiting WSC to just three hits entering the bottom of the fifth inning.
            The Wildcats came up with three runs on three hits with a couple of stolen bases in the fifth inning to grab a 3-2 lead.  Lauren Laudick walked and later scored on an RBI single from Leah Chance for the first Wildcat run.  Chance and Jordyn Klein (singled) both scored on a Kennadi Borngrebe double to center field putting the 'Cats ahead 3-2.
            Wayne State added another run in the sixth inning for a 4-2 lead as Jordyn Rochholz was hit by a pitch to start the inning and scored on a two-out error by the Warriors when pinch-hitter Taylor Fritz reached base on a WSU fielding error.
            The Warriors used a two-out rally in the seventh and had the tying run on second base before the Wildcats finally got out of the inning to hang on for the 4-3 win.  Two Wildcat errors and an infield single allowed Wayne State (Mich) get within one at 4-3 with the tying run at second, but senior reliever Sami Felt recorded a ground out to end the game as the Wildcats held on for the one-run win.
