After waiting another week between games, the Lady Macks (2-1, 0-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) hit the road west to face the Blackhawks (3-1, 2-0 Middle Border Conference). McDonell game out of the gate hot, sending all nine batters to the plate in the top of the first and plating five runs.
The home team responded with 11 consecutive runs of their own, and a late rally by the Lady Macks came up a bit short.
Sophomore Rylie Christianson clubbed a solo home for the second game in a row and also pitched well in relief, while fellow sophomores Kelsey Bremness and Claire Ruf each collected two hits.
