Leadoff hitter Katie Adler (5 for 6, four runs & one RBI) and two-hole hitter Terran Caldwell (5 for 8, three runs & one RBI) caused the most damage. In the circle juniors Hailey Chapman (12-12) and Michaelanne Nelson (10-10) both tossed complete games, combining for 12 strikeouts and no earned runs.

Hays started the day by scoring two runs in each of the first two innings to grab a 4-1 lead. Out hitting UNK by an 18-3 margin, the Tigers scored four in its half of the sixth to end things. Adler went 4 for 4 with two runs five others have multi-hit efforts.

Caldwell (3 for 4, two runs) was part of a 12-hit attack in the night cap as Hays scored three in the bottom of the second and five more in the sixth. Eight
