McKendree rallied back in the sixth inning as Dani Schoenbacher (Tamaroa, Ill./Pinckeyville) singled to drive in Jill Norton (Foristell, MO/Francis Howell ). The Bearcat rally however was not enough to extend the game.

Kylee Silliman (Fremont, IA/Oskaloosa ) moves to 6-3 on the 2017 campaign as she went two innings recording one strikeout. Maci Ingram (Woodlawn, Ill./Nashville Community ) came in relief for Silliman providing 2.2 innings of work. Brooke Gajewski (Kronenwetter, Wis./D.C.

McKendree bounced back in game two as Gajewski opened up the first inning with an RBI single to drive in Rachel Hastings (Forsyth, Ill./Maroa-Forsyth ). In the second, Caitlyn Lowry (St. Louis, MO/Notre Dame ) took advantage of a Bulldog error to drive in Abbie Bailey (Tinley Park, IL/Andrew ) to give McKendree a 2-0 lead. Later in the inning, Jamie Doggendorf (Dittmer, Mo./Northwest) took Lauren Dale of Truman State deep to give the Bearcats a 4-0 lead.

Gajewski followed in the third with a solo shot to increase the lead to 5-0. Schoenbacher joined the action with a two-run homerun to add to the McKendree lead. Lowry topped off the rally with an RBI single driving in Bailey.

The Bulldogs scored two runs in the top of the fourth on a sac fly.

Holly Magre (Festus, Mo./St. Pius X) improves to 9-5 as she went the distance for the Bearcats striking out one, while only surrounding three hits.
