Game 1:
Rhodes received offensive fireworks from
Katelyn Siekerka and
Lauren King, but it was defensive miscues that doomed the Lynx as they fell 6-5 to the Warriors.
For Rhodes, Siekerka was 2-for-4 with a home run, triple, two runs scored and an RBI; King was 2-for-3 with a home run, double, two runs scored and two RBI.Â
In the circle,
Madison Stringfield pitched 4.1 innings of five-hit softball, allowing one earned run.Â
Madison Keller spelled Stringfield in the fifth inning, giving up three hits and also allowing a single earned run. Â
The loss dropped the Lynx to 6-9 in SAA play, 16-15 overall.
Game 2:
In a rain soaked back half of the doubleheader, Rhodes dropped the final regular season matchup 13-5 in five innings.
Despite recording 10 base hits, including 2-for-3 performances from Siekerka, King and
Marisa Moore, Hendrix bats couldn't be silenced as they racked up 13 runs on 19 hits to earn a series split. Â
For the Lynx, freshman
Andie Priest gritted through the difficult weather conditions for a complete game.
The Lynx are back in action this Friday when they will play No. 1 seeded Birmingham Southern in the SAA Tournament, hosted by Centre College in Danville, Ky.
