LOCATION: Edor Nelson Field, Minneapolis
RECORD: Augsburg 1-5 overall, Northland 6-6 overall

GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS
• Sabriya Passmore (SO, Apple Valley, Minn./Apple Valley HS) pitched her best game of the season so far, striking out three while walking two and allowing just three Northland hits in a complete-game effort. Two of Northland's three hits came in the third inning, when it scored its lone run.
• Augsburg took the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning. With one out, Olivia O'Connor (FY, White Bear Lake, Minn./White Bear Lake HS) and Olivia Dynneson (FY, Minneapolis, Minn./South HS) walked. Grace Syson (FY, Oshkosh, Wis./Lourdes Academy HS) laid down a sacrifice bunt, but the throw to first sailed into right field, and O'Connor and pinch runner Sammie Balint (SO, Golden Valley, Minn./Robbinsdale Armstrong HS) were able to score.
• Augsburg was held to three hits in the game -- with two singles coming from Katie Manecke (FY, Shoreview, Minn./Mounds View HS). Dynneson had the other Auggie base hit.

GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS
• Northland scored a run in the first inning, then plated four runs in the top of the sixth to take a 5-0 lead. But Augsburg rallied back with three runs in the bottom of the sixth, as leadoff hitters Bella Kallas (SR, Big Lake, Minn./Big Lake HS) and Kayla Hanson (JR, St. James, Minn./St. James HS) each hit singles, and with two outs, Sara Deming (FY, Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson HS) stroked a two-run single. Mackenzie Evenson (SR, St. Louis Park, Minn./St. Louis Park HS) then hit a run-scoring double to deep center, plating Deming.
• Dynneson led off the bottom of the seventh inning with a double, and came home to score on a Kallas sacrifice fly. A walk put the tying run on first with two outs, but an infield groundout ended the game.
• O'Connor struck out three while walking three in 5.1 innings of work, with Kallas getting a strikeout against a walk in 1.2 innings of relief.
• Dynneson had two hits, both doubles. 

FOR THE FOES
