Hillsdale, Mich. - The Wayne State University softball team (23-12 overall, 6-4 GLIAC) scored the first run and the last run in game two of Wednesday's doubleheader suffered a 5-2 setback because the host Chargers of Hillsdale College (13-17 overall, 4-8 GLIAC) scored five times in the middle.
The Warriors grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third as Sarah Kish (St. Catharines, Ont.) had a two-out single up the middle, and Sarah Berry (Acton, Ont.) followed with a double to center field scoring Kish.
Hillsdale scored four times in the top of the fifth on three hits and a walk plus a WSU error. The Chargers scored their final run the next inning on a sacrifice fly by Brecken Libbe.
Wayne State's final run came in the bottom of the sixth as Kish had a leadoff single and scored on a double by Berry.
