The Warriors finished their regular season with a doubleheader sweep over UW-La Crosse on Wednesday, winning the opener 8-0 in five innings before taking the nightcap 5-3.
“We’re playing very well as a team, and that’s the biggest thing,” WSU coach Greg Jones said. “And when we’re getting production from the bottom of the lineup is when we’re at our best.”
Callie Givens, WSU’s No. 9 hitter, went 1-for-2 with a run in Game 1 and 2-for-3 with a double, two runs and an RBI in Game 2.
Annie Stuedemann, WSU’s No. 6 hitter, went 3-for-3 in the opener. The freshman outfielder hit a solo home run in the Warriors’ five-run third inning and recorded a two-run double in the fifth inning.
Jenny Wilmes went 3-for-5 with an RBI, and Chelsea Rosenow was 4-for-7 with three runs and two RBIs on the day for WSU, which extended its winning streak against UW-L to 13.
Chelsey Ewing allowed just two hits over the five-inning, complete-game shutout in the opener, and Kristen Fossell struck out five in five innings of relief to get the win in the nightcap for WSU, which has won seven of its past eight games and 23 of its past 30.
