Warriors Sweeps Doubleheader
From Detroit

Detroit, Mich. – In the May Day Battle of Detroit, the Wayne State softball team swept the Detroit Titans in a softball doubleheader, 12-1 and 1-0 on Wednesday, improving to 30-15 overall. The Warriors, who have won six straight games, will gear up for the GLIAC Tournament, which begins on Friday at 9 a.m. in Ashland, Ohio. WSU is the No. 1 seed in the tournament and will face the winner of Saginaw Valley and Ferris State at 11 a.m.

Against Detroit, game one saw Wayne State play home run derby with three shots out of the park. A pair of five run innings in the fourth and fifth gave WSU a mercy-shortened five inning victory.

Kelly Kashmerick

Senior Kelly Kashmerick's (Flushing) fourth inning grand slam set the tone for the Warriors, giving them a 6-1 advantage. It was her fourth jack of the season. Two batters later, sophomore Beth Berry (Blissfield) followed with a blast over the left-center field fence (approx. 240 feet), her seventh home run of the year, to give the Warriors a decisive 7-1 lead. Berry has hit three homers in her last four games and is currently riding a career-high 15 game hitting streak. Sophomore Johanna Proulx (Brampton, Ontario) added a two-run homer in the fifth to seal the game for Wayne State. Proulx went 3-for-3 in game one, with a single, double and homer. Junior Connie Milroth (St. Clair Shores/Lakeview) went the distance for her 14th win of the season (14-5), allowing one run off three hits.

A pitcher's battled emerged in the nightcap amidst light rain. Junior Amy Thiede (Riverview) and Detroit’s Krista Peters went toe-to-toe, with Thiede winning the battle for her ninth victory (9-6), giving up just three hits in her fourth shutout of the season. The games only run was scored in the top of the sixth on a two-out RBI single by sophomore Leah Ondrovick (Tecumseh) that scored Kashmerick.
