Softball Caps Regular Season With Eighth-Straight Sweep

Twenty Griff Runs Run Streak to 16

ST. JOSEPH – Griffon Softball (34-14, 21-5) ended the regular season with its eighth consecutive MIAA doubleheader sweep, taking two games from Emporia State (25-26, 14-12) on Senior Day at the Spring Sports Complex.
 
Missouri Western produced big innings to come back from small early deficits in both games, winning game one 6-2 and game two 14-3 in five innings. The 16-game win streak matched the longest for the program in four seasons.
 
GAME 1
Missouri Western 6, Emporia State 2
  • Emporia State took a 2-1 lead in the second, but MWSU led for good after a four-run third
  • Kenzie Hilzer held the Hornets to two runs on four hits and evened her record at 7-7, her third straight win with her last loss coming on April 1
  • The Griffons had nine hits and didn't' commit an error
  • Morgan Frost, Gabi Carter, Emma Hoffart and Taylor Hoelscher each had two hits
  • Hoffart drove in three, including a two-run home run in the third

GAME 2
Missouri Western 14, Emporia State 3
  • The Hornets scored two in the first before MWSU was able to record an out, but didn't score again until the fifth
  • The Griffons scored eight in the bottom of the first to take a commanding lead
  • MWSU took advantage of an ESU error that would have been the second out of the first with the next eight Griffs reaching before a double play ended the big inning

  • Kaili Hinds won for the 15th time this season, holding ESU to two earned runs on six hits with six strikeouts and one walk
