Michael Palmer Softball 5/15/2021 2:56:45 PM SDSU offense strikes early to force winner-take-all game at #SummitSB Championship FARGO, N.D. -- Freshman Grace Glanzer hurled her second straight shutout and top-seeded South Dakota's offense pounced on second-seeded Omaha early to force a winner-take-all game at the 2021 #SummitSB Championship presented by U.S. Air Force Special Warfare. The Jackrabbits plated four runs in the first and added five more in the second as they build a commanding lead that resulted in a 9-0, five-inning victory in Saturday's first game at the Ellig Sports Complex. Glanzer allowed just three hits as he backed up her shutout performance from a night early to record her seventh of the season. The Jackrabbits' top four hitters combined to go 9-for-12 to pace the offensive attack with Kelsey Lenox leading that charge. She provided all four runs in the first with a grand slam, then added her second long ball of the game in the second to cap the scoring and drive in her fifth run of the game. Cylee Halvorson belted her league-leading 17th home run of the season to clear two off the bases and make it an 8-0 contest. The Mavericks' offense could manage just three singles off Glanzer, who picked up her 18th win of the season. Pitcher of Record Win – Grace Glanzer (18-4): 5.0 IP, 3 hits, 0 earned runs, 1 walk, 1 strikeout Loss – Sydney Hampton (6-12): 3.2 IP, 4 hits, 3 earned runs, 4 walks, 0 strikeouts Notable Notes • SDSU had a player hit two home runs in a game for the second straight game, as Kelsey Lenox recorded a grand slam and two-run home run, totaling five RBI. • Cylie Halvorson hit her league-leading and program record 17th home run of the season • Glanzer's pitched her second straight shutout and her seventh of the season • The shutout was SDSU's third straight of the #SummitSB tournament and 15th overall of the season Up Next The winner will find out where it is headed to continue its season at the NCAA Regionals during the selection show, which is slated for tomorrow at 8 p.m. CT. #SUMMITSB
