Minnesota took game one and Michigan State won the second in East Lansing
GAME ONE
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Senior Autumn Pease and senior Bri Enter combined to throw a shutout on Saturday as the Minnesota Golden Gophers blanked the Michigan State Spartans 5-0.
Pease (17-6) started and picked up the win for Minnesota (25-15, 6-5), going six shutout innings while giving up four hits, walking none, and striking out six. Enter was dealing out of the bullpen as well, going one shutout inning, allowing one hit, walking none and striking out one.
Offensively, the Golden Gophers were paced by sophomore Taylor Krapf, who went 3-for-4 on the day with two RBI. Senior Sydney Strelow put together a noteworthy day at the plate as well, going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and an RBI. Sophomore Kayla Chavez also chipped in for Minnesota, putting together two hits in four trips to the plate while adding a double.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Golden Gophers took the lead for good in the first, scoring for the first time in the inning. Minnesota plated two runs off of Michigan State pitching, one of which was driven in on a run-scoring double off the bat of Strelow.
The Golden Gophers then tacked on runs in the fifth inning when they scored three times. Two of those three runs scored on a two-run single off the bat of Krapf.
