On the road once again, this time against the #2 seed, the Lady Macks (16-8, 8-4 Western Cloverbelt Conference) struck first, plating two in the opening inning, but the Vikings (16-8, 12-2 Dunn-St. Croix Conference), quickly cut that lead in half with a solo homer in the bottom of the first.
McDonell stretched their advantage to as many as five runs, but the powerful top of the order for Colfax would not be denied, and the home team clawed their way back within a run, before a drama-filled final inning in which the Lady Macks held off a final push from the Vikings.
Sophomore pitcher Kelsey Bremness went the distance, striking out 10, including two crucial Ks in the final frame, while fellow sophomore Claire Ruf went 4 for 4 at the plate. Sophomore Rylie Christianson was 3 for 4 on the night and made two incredible catches in center, while senior Kiara Leinenkugel tallied two hits.
