The NEW Lutheran Blazers' bats caught fire late in game one and carried it through game two as Gibraltar/Washington Island was swept by scores of 13-5 and 16-2 (five innings).

 

 

In game one, the Blazers jumped out to a 4-0 lead thanks to four straight players reaching base. The Vikings scratched across one run in the second inning when Addison Richmond reached on an error, allowing Abby Jarosh to scamper around home to score. The Blazers would bat around in the third inning with Sydney Steffel's lead-off triple starting a five-run rally. The Vikings would respond in the top of the fourth inning as they nearly repeated the feat, sending eight to the plate and bringing half of them home. Anna Jarosh and Pam Prescott each singled while Ashlyn DeJardin doubled to help the Vikings get to within four runs. DeJardin's second double of the day in the sixth inning would be the only hit the Vikings would register the rest of the day while the Blazers added runs in the final three innings to give its senior day a memorable start day. Emilie Glocke went the distance for the Vikings, striking out eight but allowing 14 hits.

 

In game two, it was the Vikings who would strike first thanks to Abby Jarosh reaching on an error that allowed Emilie Glocke to score. The Blazers would score twice in the second and third before blowing the game wide open by batting around in the fourth and fifth innings to end the game early that was already being threatened by darkness and oncoming storms. The biggest blows came off the bat from Lexi Meerstein, who cleared the bases with a home run in the fourth inning and delivered again with a run-scoring double in the fifth inning. The Vikings pushed across their second inning when a collection of Blazers errors turned an Emilie Glocke's attempt at a sacrifice bunt into a run-scoring play that drove in Pam Prescott. The Blazers outhit the Vikings 19-8 across the two  games
