Seattle U 2, Wichita State 6
After a pair of scoreless innings to open the game, Wichita State would score a pair of runs in the bottom of the third. Down 2-0, with two outs and a runner on first, Kelli Demianew (Pendleton, Ore.)hit her first career triple down the right field line to bring home Jessica Ulrich (Lewiston, Idaho) to give the Redhawks their first run of the game.
In the top of the fifth, Sarah Petosa (Auburn, Wash.) led off with a single to third base. She would be advanced to third on a Shocker fielding error. Natalie Leyland (Richland, Wash.) sent Petosa home with a ground out to third base to even the game 2-2.
The game would be postponed due to darkness in the middle of the fifth inning.
After resuming play Sunday morning, it was Wichita State who opened up action scoring three runs in the bottom of the fifth. They added an additional run in the sixth, which proved to be too much of a run deficit for the Redhawks to rebound from, as SU fell 6-2 to the Shockers.
