Fergus Falls won a softball double header from Willmar on Thursday at DeLagoon Park in Fergus Falls, posting a 15-5 win in game one and a 12-4 win in the nightcap.

Gretchen Davis drove in four runs on three hits in the opener.  She delivered a run-scoring single in the second, and RBI doubles in the fourth and fifth.  The Otter pushed across six runs in the fourth inning to help build their lead.  Fergus Falls collected 18 hits in the game with Davis, Nycole Mouritsen and Paige Pearson each recording three hits.  Maddy Shjerve (6IP, 5R, 4K, 9H) was the winning pitcher. 

Game two was tied 2-2 when the Otters erupted for nine runs in the sixth inning.  Fergus Falls had 14 hits with Pearson, Amzie Aho and Gabby Brimhall each collecting three hits.  Rylynn Krein (9H, 4R, 7IP, 7K) got the win in the circle.

“The girls have re-aligned their goals for this season and it’s showing not only on defense but at the plate,” said Fergus Falls Head Coach Lisa Truax.  “I’m all in on this team’s ability.  If they come to play, they’re going to be one tough contender come playoffs.”
