In the first game, the Lady Jacks cruised to a 15-0 win.
Charlee Wardlaw led Warren, going 3-for-3 at the plate. Ember Johnson, Breize Fellows, and Brooklyne McVay each finished 2-for-2. McVay highlighted the performance with an inside-the-park home run, while Bayleigh Miller went 2-for-3 and added a home run of her own.
In the circle, Brooklyne McVay delivered a no-hit shutout, striking out five batters.
One Lady Jack player who has been a steady presence all season is Livi McKinney, who has played in every inning of every game. McKinney has had an excellent year at first base. She has not batted this season due to the use of the designated hitter, but she has been a key piece of a strong Warren defense and a true team player.
Game 2 of the doubleheader was a carryover from Game 1, and Warren completed the sweep with another mercy-rule victory, 17-1.
The Lady Jacks totaled 15 hits in the win, with every player seeing action.
Haven Johnson, Bayleigh Miller, Charlee Wardlaw, and Natalie Hargrave each went 2-for-2. Hargrave powered a monster home run in the game. Raeleigh Milton finished 2-for-3, while Ember Johnson, Ava Denton, Breize Fellows, and Addilee Murphy each went 1-for-1. Blythe Calloway added a 1-for-2 performance.
Raeleigh Milton earned the win in the circle, allowing just one hit while striking out four batters.
