Grace Frechette (St. Cloud State University) opened the scoring with an RBI single, and Calli Janik (Mount Mercy University) had a run-scoring knock later in the frame to extend the advantage.<\/p>\n<p>After a quiet start at the plate, Madison found a spark in the fourth inning. With the Night Mares trailing 3-2 in the fourth inning, Gretta Grassel (Mississippi State University) drove home two runs with a single to right field, giving Madison its first lead of the game at 4-3. <\/p>\n<p>Grassel wasn\u2019t done making an impact on offense. In the sixth inning, she returned to the plate and gave Madison some insurance, ripping a two-run double to extend the Night Mares lead to 6-3. Emma Kavanagh (University of Arizona) added an RBI knock later in the inning, and Madison cruised the rest of the way to the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Karlie Mckenzie (Eastern Illinois University) pitched the full game and earned the win in the circle for the Night Mares, as she didn\u2019t allow a single run after the first inning. Elly Eckrich (University of Tennessee-Martin) was charged with the loss for the Steam.<\/p>\n<p>The Night Mares will return home to Warner Park on Tuesday night to face the Minot Honeybees.
