The opener was a tightly contested battle, with both teams trading runs throughout. Lake Michigan College delivered in the clutch, scoring in the bottom of the seventh to secure the walk-off win. Kamryn Holland led the way with two RBIs, while Paige Clinger went a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate. In the circle, Ellory Dykstra tossed a complete game, striking out six and allowing just one earned run to hold off Lansing's late push.
Game 2 told a different story, as the Red Hawks exploded early with five runs in the first inning and never looked back. The offense remained consistent, adding runs in four straight innings to build a commanding lead. Cece Conforti starred with two hits and an RBI while also earning the win in the circle, allowing just one earned run over five innings.
Kursten Smith and Gabby Solloway each scored multiple runs in the nightcap, while Randi Taylor drove in two to pace a balanced offensive attack. Lansing showed flashes offensively across the doubleheader, highlighted by Zoie Tupper's triple and Tommi Kleinschmidt's extra-base hits in Game 1, but ultimately couldn't match the Red Hawks' timely hitting and pitching depth.
With the sweep, Lake Michigan College showcased both resilience and firepower, using late-game execution in Game 1 and early dominance in Game 2 to secure the pair of wins.
