The Cyclones opened up game one of their doubleheader on the wrong foot. The Cyclones gave up an unearned run in the second on a RBI single from Brittany Warnecke. The runner was able to score on an error by the ISU infield, and gave the Red Raiders a 1-0 lead.
The Cyclones responded in a big way in the third inning. They would load the bases early in the inning with singles from Jorden Spendlove, Nychole Antillon, and Sammie Hildreth.
These hits set up the Cyclones for a grand slam from Brittany Gomez, who gave them a 4-1 lead.
