The second game of the day brought a win over Rock Falls on key hits from Laura Kophamer, Jodi Medendorp and Monica Wright.

Dykema struck out the first two batters, gave up a hit to Alderfer, and then struck out the next batter. Alderfer took the hill for Sterling. Dykema led off the inning with what looked to be a hit only to have it taken away by the left fielder. Brianna Milnes was able to get a hit only to be left standing when Michaele Vock struck out. In the next three innings Dykema gave up two hits and Alderfer gave up a well hit double from Brittany Smith. The fifth brought a pitching change for Morrison with Brianna Milnes getting her first batter to ground out and she struck out the side to end the inning.

Through the first six innings Morrison was making contact but nothing Sterling could not handle. Flufs walked to lead off the bottom of the sixth for Sterling. Milnes stepped up and struck out the next batter. Alderfer was the next batter and she had a hit between short and third. With runners on first and second the next batter hit to first, the first baseman tried to get the runner at third but did not. Milnes struck out the next batter. The next batter hit towards first, Morrison went home for the out, but the runner was safe for Sterling’s first run. Morrison’s Brianna Milnes led off the top of the seventh with a hit to left, Deter advanced her on the SAC, but that would be it for Morrison.

The second game Morrison won the toss and was the home team against Rock Falls. Rock Falls had Korby Paul pitching and Morrison had Monica Wright. Dykema started the game off like the last one with a solid hit to the outfield only to have it caught. Wright had a hit to right only to get out in a double play by Tate. The second inning brought some trouble for Morrison when Wright walked the second batter. Jodi Medendorp mishandled a pitch for a passed ball that led to a run when she tried to get the runner out, but over threw third for Rock Falls first unearned run. Morrison tried to answer when Smith and Kophamer both had a hit only to be left on base.

Monica Wright settled in a grove in the next four innings by going three up, three down. The bottom of the fifth brought up Laura Kophamer, she was able to get a hit up the middle. Katie Kuehl had a SAC bunt moving Kophamer. Jodi Medendorp took her second pitch to right center for the RBI single. Dykema had a popup to the pitcher.
