On a gorgeous afternoon at Casper Park, the Lady Macks (3-3, 2-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) powered their way by the Hornets (3-3, 2-3 WCC), sweeping the season series with a pair of shutouts in the doubleheader.
McDonell rode red-hot hitting and a lights-out performance in the circle: junior Kelsey Bremness struck out eight through five innings in a Game 1 shutout, then threw three no-hit innings in Game 2, facing only nine hitters and striking out five.
At the plate, it was pick your poison, as hitter after hitter in the Lady Macks' lineup made contact. In Game 1, junior Claire Ruf and freshman Taylan Hanson each picked up three hits, while juniors Lizzy Leibrandt and Kelsey Bremness went back-to-back on homers.
In Game 2, Leibrandt was 4-for-4 and went yard again, this time with a three-run bomb, while freshman Taylan Hanson collected an inside-the-park homer of her own. Leibrandt and freshman Ella Amodt each drove in four as the Lady Macks ended the game early once again.
