Sophomore pitcher Lexi Miskey earned her 21st win of the season, pitching four shutout innings and allowing just one hit with three strikeouts. Miskey improved to 21-0 on the season, tied for the second most wins in a single season in program history.

Game 2: #3 CWRU 11, Wooster 1 (5 inn.)

In the second game, Gross led off the bottom of the first inning with a triple, her fifth of the season, and scored on a groundout by junior outfielder Kela Jagoda.

Gross added two runs with a two-out double in the second inning to make the score 3-0. Jagoda collected her second run batted in with a single to score Gross. In the following inning, Tucci hit her team-leading sixth home run of the season to give the Spartans a 5-0 lead. Later in the frame, Manworren plated a run with a double.

CWRU scored five times in the fourth inning to put the game away. Riely started the scoring with a single to score Jagoda. Following a single by Tucci, Russo drove in a pair of runs with a double, and Nutter followed with a run-scoring double of her own. It was Nutter's third hit of the contest, setting a new career high. After the Spartans loaded the bases, Gross drew a walk to make the score 11-0.

Sophomore pitcher Kylie Hosey (12-2) earned the win with four shutout innings, allowing just two hits and recording three strikeouts.

Prior to the doubleheader, the Spartans honored their two graduating team members—Riely and Tucci—as part of the Senior Day celebration. The two seniors have guided the program to a 97-27 (.782) record over the last four seasons, the best four-year winning percentage in program history, and a trip to the NCAA Super Regional Round last season.

CWRU will end its season with a pair of road doubleheaders, starting with a trip to Alliance, Ohio, on Sunday, May 7 to face the University of Mount Union. First pitch of the first game is scheduled for 1 p.m.
