Game 1 – Drake
Sophomore Abby Trahan (Kaplan, La./Kaplan) started in the circle for the Red Flash.  Trahan fired a complete game for her 10th win of the season.  She allowed just one run on three hits, while walking three and striking out five batters.  It was Trahan's eight performance this year in which she has gone at least seven innings and allowed one or less earned run. 
 
Kailee Smith got the start for Drake.  The senior went five innings, giving up three runs, two earned, on seven hits.  Smith struck out seven batters and walked two.  Nicole Timmons threw the final two innings, two scoreless frames, striking out two and walking two.
 
The Red Flash tallied three runs on seven hits.  Senior Madison Cabell (Ivor, Va./Southampton) had two doubles and drove in a run to lead SFU.  Junior Hayley Norton (Spring Grove, Pa./Spring Grove) had a double and two runs, while Sierra McKee (DuBois, Pa./DuBois) had an RBI single and Jordan Frank (DuBois, Pa./DuBois Central Catholic) had a hit and a run.  Junior Mikayla Bower (Williamsport, Pa./Williamsport) added a double.  Senior Jordan Seneca (Plum, Pa./Plum) recorded her 10th steal of the season.
 
The Bulldogs had three hits and a run.  Macy Johnson, Kelsey Wright and Kennedy Frank each had a hit, while Nicole Newman drove in a run.
 
The Red Flash put two runs on the board in the top of the first.  Frank led off the inning with a single up the middle.  A grounder by Norton went just under the glove of Drake's second baseman as Frank went to third and Norton ended up on second.  Two batters later, Sierra McKee (DuBois, Pa./DuBois) lined a single to right to bring home Frank.  With Bower at the plate, a baserunning play resulted in McKee being thrown out at second, but Norton crossed the plate.  Bower followed with a double to left center, but a strikeout ended the inning with the Red Flash leading 2-0.
 
Saint Francis extended its lead to 3-0 in the top of the fifth.  With one out, Norton crushed the first pitch of her at-bat off the wall in center for a double.  Cabell then traded places with Norton, lining a 1-1 pitch to the wall in right for her own double, allowing Norton to come around to score.
 
Drake answered with a run in the bottom of the fifth. After a single by Wright loaded the bases, with one out, the pinch-hitter, Newman, hit a blooper that landed in right-center between three Red Flash fielders.  Frank picked the ball up and fired to second to complete a fielder's choice, but Melissa Schlotzhauer scored on the play.  The Red Flash led 3-1 after five innings.
 
Game 2 – Oklahoma State
Sophomore Adrian Smith (Clairsville, Ohio/St. Clairsville) started in the circle for the Red Flash.  She threw six innings, giving up seven runs on 10 hits.  Smith struck out three and walked three batters.

Saint Francis answered with a run in the top of the second.  McKee led off the inning with a grounder through the middle for a single.  After McKee stole second, a groundout by Seneca pushed her to third.  Troxell followed by lining a single to left to score McKee and cut the deficit to 3-1.
 
Oklahoma State added three runs in the third.  With runners on the corners, a single to right by Montgomery allowed Shippy to score.  After a walk loaded the bases, a single up the middle by Alexander brought home Montgomery and Taylor Lynch to extend OSU's lead to 6-1.
 
The Red Flash threatened to score in the top of the fourth with Cabell and McKee starting the inning with back-to-back singles.  However, two pop outs and a groundout ended the inning.
