Wednesday evening over Kentucky State by a combined score of 19-5.

Rollins scored three runs in each of the first three innings in
the first game then tacked on the tenth in the fourth. The top
three batters in the Rollins lineup went on a tear. Hailee
Keisling, Hali

in the first inning and lasered a home run over the right field
fence in the third. Durbin went 2-3 with a pair of doubles and a
home run.

own.
The second game of the night started with Rollins scoring eight
times and sending 11 batters to the plate in the first inning.
Durbin crushed her second home run of the day- a three run shot
over the right field fence. Freshman Rachel
Collins made the most of her first NCAA start, smashing a
two-run shot to dead center in the first frame and singling to left
field in the third. Fogle was 3-3 on the day and scored a run.
Tiffany
Osmanski made her second start in a Tars uniform, allowing one
earned run on five hits and striking out nine. Hon relieved her and
closed out the game by posting a scoreless seventh inning.

RBIs, and five runs scored. All 20 Tars in uniform saw action in
the second game.
