Clermont, Fla. --- Minnesota State extended its win streak to six games on day three of the Spring Games played in Clermont, Fla., Monday afternoon.  In game one, MSU defeated Wayne State (Mich.) 3-1, followed by a 3-1 win over the Concord. 

With the results, the Mavericks improve to 13-3 on the season while the Warriors fall to 7-3 and the Mountain Lions fall to 7-5-1.
Game 1

Mackenzie Ward started the game but did not factor in the decision despite throwing three scoreless innings.  Katie Bracken (4-1) entered the game in in the fourth inning and earned the win pitching four innings while allowing one run on four hits.  Amy Claydon (3-1) started for the Warriors and took the loss pitching six innings and allowing three runs, one of them earned, on ten hits.

After a scoreless three innings to start the game, the Mavericks struck first when Courtney Potter hit a single into left field that was misplayed, allowing Kayla Moky and Hannah Hastings to score.  On the next play, Carly Esselman hit a sac fly that allowed Potter to cross home and improve the Maverick lead to 3-0.

Wayne State scored their first run in the sixth inning with a solo homerun, but that would prove to be the only run they would score as MSU went on to win 3-1.

Hastings, Moky and Sydney Nielsen all went 2-3 from the plate while Esselman recorded the only RBI for the Mavericks. 

Game 2

McKayla Armbruster (2-0) started the game for Minnesota State and pitched the complete game allowing one run on six hits while striking out four batters to earn the win. Cartney Schoolcraft (3-2) started for the Mountain Lions and took the loss allowing three runs on nine hits. 

The Mavericks opened the game with a leadoff single from Esselman before Nielson homered to left field putting MSU up 2-0.  Concord got a run back in the bottom of the first when a single brought in a runner from third base.

Armbruster would shut down the Mountain Lions for the remainder of the game, and the Mavericks added a run in the sixth inning on an Emma Schifferle double that scored Madi Newman.

Moky and Hailey Forshee both went 2-3 from the plate while Nielsen went 1-4 with the two-run homer.

Minnesota State will take a day off before returning to action Wednesday afternoon when it will face off with the Lock Haven Bald Eagles with first pitch scheduled at 1:30, before taking on the Pitt Johnstown Mountain Cats at 3:45 p.m.
