A walk-off single by Wittenberg's Sam Bausch in the bottom of the seventh inning would send the Tigers to a doubleheader sweep of the Denison Big Red on Saturday in Springfield.  Wittenberg took game one 5-0 and rallied for a 2-1 victory in game two.

In game two, Denison broke a scoreless tie in the top of the sixth inning when Kerry Hager singled to the gap in right-center, scoring Mckinley Vazquez who led off the inning by reaching on an error by the Tigers' first baseman.  Julie Rooney bunted for a single, allowing Vazquez to get into scoring position, setting the table for Hager.  With Hager on first and Rooney on third, Wittenberg would go to the bullpen, opting for Abby Haab.  She would proceed to strike out the side, limiting the damage to one run.

In the bottom of the seventh, Wittenberg's Tori Simek would reach base after an error on Ryan Lee.  With one out, Kaela Hughes would double to the wall in right center, but the relay throw from Vazquez in centerfield to Lee and on to Anna Balch at the plate would cut down Simek, preserving the 1-0 lead with two outs.

Lindsey Blair would follow with a double to center, scoring Hughes from second base, tying the game at 1-1.  The game-winner would come in the next at-bat as Bausch singled on a 2-2 offering from Erin Laswell, scoring Blair with the go-ahead run.

Laswell suffered the loss, pitching 6.2 innings, allowing seven hits and two runs, none of which were earned.  She also struck out two.  Wittenberg starter Chelsea Zang pitched five innings and gave up one run that was not earned.  Haab got the win in relief. She struck out all six batters that she faced.

Blair was 3-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored in game two for the Tigers.  Denison was led by Rooney who was 2-for-3.  Hager drove in Denison's lone run with her single in the sixth.

In the opener, Denison would fall 5-0 as Wittenberg's Charlee Clark went 3-for-3 with three RBIs.  The Tigers plated two runs in the fourth inning via an RBI single from Clark and a sacrifice fly from Zang.  Three more runs from Wittenberg in the sixth inning would put the game out of reach.

Lauren Secaras got the start in the circle for Denison and pitched 5.1 innings.  She allowed two earned runs off six hits while striking out six.  Laswell recorded the final two outs of the sixth inning, facing three batters.  Secaras led DU offensively in game one, going 2-for-3.

With the losses Denison falls to 12-16 overall and 4-6 in North Coast Athletic Conference play.  Wittenberg improves to 16-12 and 9-3 in the NCAC.  The Big Red will be back in action on Monday (April 20) when they travel to nearby Capital University for a 3:30 p.m. doubleheader.
