For the second straight game, the Central Michigan softball has only needed to rely on a single pitcher.

Senior Rachael Knapp pitched her second complete game of the weekend in the Chippewas' 7-0 win against Sienna Sunday in Madeira, Florida. In addition, the win marks Knapp's second consecutive shut out.

Knapp had a season high 14 strikeouts in her effort, allowing only five hits and one walk. CMU out-hit Sienna 7-5, while also forcing seven walks to Sienna's one.
