Game One
Keiser Highlights
- Autumn Green tossed a five-inning no-hitter while striking out seven en route to her third win on the year. Green's no-hitter is the first by a KU pitcher since Laura Downs on Feb. 27, 2014.
- The Seahawks scattered ten hits in the game, with Janelle Dominguez and Ally Thompson leading the way with two hits apiece.
- Dominguez paced the offense with three runs batted in, including a two-run bomb, while Bermari Figueroa and Avery Miller each drove in a pair.
- Troiana Test led Keiser on the bases, swiping three bags.

Turning Point
Green's dominance in the circle paved the path for the Seahawks this afternoon as the junior threw a no-hitter. An error in the fifth inning with two-outs prevented the junior from earning the perfect game.
How it Happened
- Keiser wasted no time Sunday afternoon, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning.
- Cheyenne Blumberg plated the first run on an RBI single to center and scored on a two-out, two-run blast to center by Dominguez to lead 3-0.
- An inning later, the Seahawks stretched the margin to eight by scoring five runs on five hits.
- The first two batters reached before Figueroa delivered with a two-run single to left, upping the margin to 5-0. Following a one-out walk to Test, Miller delivered with another two-run single to center, extending the advantage to 7-0.
- Dominguez capped off the inning by driving in her third run of the game with a two-out double to left, making it 8-0.
- In the third, Brooklyn Frazier came off the bench and delivered a two-out single, scoring Alanie Cora, who reached on a pinch-hit double.
- The Seahawks scored the final run of the game in the fourth on a passed ball, before Green continued her dominance in the circle, striking out two batters to finish off the no-hitter in a mercy-rule shortened game.
Game Two
Keiser Highlights
- The Seahawks recorded a season-high 16 hits, including two homers and five doubles.
- Test was a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate, while Kelsey Brodbeck added three hits.
- Rylee Agnew improved to 4-1 on the year inside the circle for Keiser, as the freshman tossed four innings, with two strikeouts.
Â
Turning Point
Keiser's ability to deliver with runners on base proved to be lethal as the offense scored 13 runs on the day while only stranding just one baserunner. Â
How it Happened
- The Tigers struck first, tallying two runs on three hits in the bottom of the first to take their only lead of the afternoon, 2-0.
- The Seahawks were unable to break through until the fourth when Blumberg lifted a sacrifice fly to center.
- Keiser then broke the game open in the fifth, scoring six runs on six hits to claim the advantage for good.
- Brodbeck delivered the first two runs with a double and came in to score on Test's single to center, to lead 4-2. Dominguez then broke the game open with a three-run blast to extend the margin to 7-2.
- KU didn't let off the pedal as they added six more runs in the next inning to make it 13-2.
- Ostrander drove in the first run of the inning with an RBI double to left center before coming in to score on a sacrifice fly.
- Following back-to-back infield singles by Brodbeck and Test, Miller drove in both runners with a two-out double.
- Blumberg ended the game with a bang, as she crushed a two-run home run to left, lifting the lead to 13-2.
- Paige Boyle then retired the side in order in the sixth courtesy of an infield pop out and two strikeouts to cap off the mercy-rule win.
