“The home opener on a brand new field capped off with a sweep, I don't think we could have asked for a better night of ball,” commented Fergus Falls Head Coach Lisa Truax.  “The girls dug deep to get the first win and took the second right from the start.  We left quite a few stranded tonight, but we'll continue to work on the small things. It's early in the season and things are just starting to heat up.” 

Trailing 5-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Otters came up with 3 runs to take a 6-5 lead.  Winning pitcher Kacey Fredrickson (7IP, 10H, 5R, 4ER, 8K, 9BB) came up with a key 2-run single in the inning and courtesy runner Piper Andrews scored the winning run on a ground out off the bat of Maddie Budke.  Fredrickson knocked in 3 runs in the game on two hits.  Karyssa Eberle reached base three times on a single and a pair of walks, scoring a pair of runs.  Rylynn Kreinn also scored twice.

Kreinn pitched game two and struck out ten batters in hurling a complete game.  The Otters drew 14 walks in the game  Laci Strom delivered a 2-run double and scored on a double by Eberle in the four-run seventh inning.  Eight different Otters scored runs in the game.

Fergus Falls (2-3) will host Alexandria in a double header beginning at 4:00pm Thursday.
