Softball sweeps Ball State, clinches share of MAC West title

Sophomore first baseman Erika Underwood hits the ball during the first game of the double header against Ball State on April 29 at Margo Jonker Stadium.

Leading 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs, senior pitcher Rachael Knapp ended her final game in Margo Jonker stadium doing what she does best — striking batters out.

With that last pitch, Knapp picked up her sixth strikeout of the game, ensuring the three game sweep of the no. 2 team out of the West in Ball State after winning the first game of the afternoon 11-3.
