With two hits in the second, two in the fourth, and one at the top of the fifth. The Rockets got their three runs in the fourth inning, but that didn’t stress the Vikes.
Whitman couldn’t keep their rally in the third. But they ended strong in the fourth and got three more hits and five more runs, ending the game with 13 hits and 16 runs.
Senior Alanna Singer went 3–4 as a switch hitter, and junior Harper Barnowski went 4–4 with three singles and one double.
