La Crosse, Wis. – Dickinson State suffered a tough loss in game one on Saturday before responding with a resounding win in game two to win the weekend series, 3-1, over Viterbo University.
Game One – VU 8 DSU 7
Dickinson State held leads of 5-0 and 7-4 but a four-run bottom of the seventh inning gave the hosts from La Crosse, Wisconsin the 8-7 win in game one of the double header.
Dallis Mitchell, Kara Conway, and Jessa Duggan all homered for the Blue Hawks as they raced out to a 5-0 lead over the first two innings, but five errors, including two with two-outs in the seventh, proved costly as the V-Hawks stole the win to start the day.
Game Two – DSU 15 VU 1
DSU responded with a bang in game two, erasing an early 1-0 lead with an 11-run third inning to cruise to a 15-1 five-inning mercy-rule victory.
The Blue Hawks got RBI hits from Karissa Comer, Bailey Hansen, Jai Maddox-Hernandez, HaiLeigh Davis, and Cassy Loa in the third inning outburst before Kiley Hubby capped it off with a grand slam.
Eight different Blue Hawks drove in runs in game two, as Kara Conway and Cassidy Venner collected RBI in a four-run fifth inning for Dickinson State.
