Game 1: KSU 13 BSC 1
 
The Thorobrettes jumped on the Big Blues with two runs in the first inning on a pair of defense miscues. In the top of the second KSU added four more runs with five runs, on five hits, including four consecutive hits in four consecutive at-bats.
 
Freshman pitcher Courtney Payne (2-6) settled in as she threw her second straight complete game win. Throughout the afternoon Payne only allowed four hits, two walks, one earned run to the Big Blues' offense, while striking out a career-high eight.
 
Junior designated Keyana Dunn swung a big bat for the visiting squad as she crushed a two-run home run in the top of the fourth. She added another RBI to her day, as she went 1-2 at the plate.
 
Senior centerfielder Tyneshia Wilson went a perfect 3-for-3, boosting her season average to .360. Wilson is second on the team in batting average to only freshman Kaija Aikman as she is currently hitting .375 over 14 games, compared to Wilson's 23 games played.

Game 2: KSU 21 BSC 0
 
Thirteen first inning runs sealed the deal for KSU as the offense played add-on with starting pitcher Casey Spencer giving up five hits and six walks.
