Carrie Jespersen and
McKenna Smith stole two bases apiece.
Abbey Mayes, 2-2, pitched the final three innings to get the win for Cedarville, 9-5.

- Casey Bertke went the distance in the opener allowing an unearned run on three hits with six strikeouts.
- Bertke has gone 35 innings this spring without giving up an earned run.
- Smith tallied both hits for CU in the first game.
- Second game starter Adaline Ziehmer fanned eight batters in five innings.
- Neither team committed an error in either game.
