Elmhurst blew the game open right from the start with five runs in the opening inning, all coming with outs. Alyssa Jasinski singled home a pair of runs and Mikayla Melone smacked a bases clearing double to drive in three runs.

The Bluejays tacked on an unearned run in the third on Tiffany Potthast's RBI single to take a 6-0 lead. Elmhurst put the game away in the fourth with four runs. Potthast and Clare Bukowski both singled home runs while Ele Walter tripled home a pair of runs.

Jasinski finished 2-for-3 at the plate with two runs driven in and a team-leading three runs scored. Walter was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate with two runs scored and two driven in.

ELMHURST 4, MIDDLEBURY 3 - Elmhurst closed out its road trip by edging Middlebury by a run.

The Bluejays plated a run on the second when Jasinski tripled and then promptly stole home when she saw it was uncovered. Middlebury tied the game with a run in the bottom of the second, but Elmhurst quickly went back on top in the third inning with an RBI single from Bukowski and a sacrifice fly from Jasinski.

Middlebury closed to within one by scoring a run in the bottom of the third, but Elmhurst responded again, scoring an insurance run in the top of the fourth on a run-scoring single from Brianna Thompson.

Middlebury scored a run in the bottom of the fifth to pull to within one, but Tiffany Potthast retired the final six Middlebury batters in the sixth and seventh inning to preserve the win.

Potthast was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate to lead the Bluejays' offense. She also improved to 4-1 on the season from the circle, tossing a complete game and limiting Middlebury to just five hits and three runs (only one earned). She walked one and struck out one.
