PUGET SOUND GAME HIGHLIGHTS
• Augsburg rallied twice in the game against Puget Sound, tying the game with a two-run sixth inning and winning the game with a two-run seventh inning.
• With the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth, Katie Parker (JR, Lakeville, Minn./Lakeville North HS) reached base on an infield single to bring home a run, and the tying run came across as the throw to first sailed wide.

Singles by Lauren Hurley (SR, Arden Hills, Minn./Mounds View HS), Jacquline Nichols (SO, Royalton, Minn.) and Carly Dropik (SO, Alexandria, Minn.) loaded the bases, and Brianna Cline (JR, St. Clair, Minn.) hit a two-run single down the left-field line to score the dramatic victory.
• Amanda Niznik (SR, Columbia Heights, Minn.) led off the second inning with a double and came around to score on an RBI double by Nichols.
• Haley Larson (JR, Shakopee, Minn./Prior Lake HS) went 3-for-3 in the game, while Cline, Parker, Niznik, Hurley and Nichols had two hits each.
• Samantha Anderson (SO, Coon Rapids, Minn.) pitched a complete-game victory, striking out five while walking two.

TRINITY GAME HIGHLIGHTS
• Augsburg fell behind 5-1 after six innings, but scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to cut into the advantage.
• Dropik led off the first inning with a triple, then scored on an RBI single by Anesia King (FY, Cambridge, Minn./Cambridge-Isanti HS).
• A two-run double by Larson in the bottom of the second plated Parker and King, but the Auggies could get no closer to Trinity in the loss.
