ST. LOUIS- Missouri Baptist Softball prevailed over University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in a conference match up at home. The Spartans were able to shut down the Eutectics in only 11 innings, bringing them to 30 wins on the season.
 
GAME ONE
 
Game one started with a bomb off the end of Abagail Cafolla's bat as she launched a leadoff homerun over the left field fence. That marked the beginning of a total of six homeruns for the Spartans on the day. The Spartans were able to add onto their 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second. With Kolby Brake on first with a walk, Meghan Hager moved her into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. Allison Leigraf then stepped up for her first at bat of the game and popped it up just outside of the infield. The center fielder made a dive for the ball but was unsuccessful. Leigraf was able to make it to second while the Eutectics recovered, and Brake was able to score on the play. On the next at bat, Ellie Wessel hit a homerun on the left field line, just inside fair territory. That was the graduate student's first homerun of the season, earing two RBI on the hit. The inning ended with the Spartans up 4-0.
 
Another homerun on the day came from Shelby Sievers, who led off the bottom of the third inning, bringing the score 5-0. Brake added to that with a homerun of her own in the fifth for the fourth homerun of the game.
 
The Spartans were able to end the game in the sixth. Wessel, who reached on a fielder's choice, moved to second on a single by Ab. Cafolla. Both runners were able to advance a base during the next at bat with a set of successful steals. Madalyn Bone, who was in the box for the Spartans, hit a single up the middle to bring in Wessel. Sievers finished things with a walk off homerun, and the Spartans notched another win 10-0.
