Softball sweeps Truman State, 3-2 and 2-0

Emily Berry's walk-off solo home run in the bottom of the seventh gave Rockhurst to a 3-2 win over Truman State in Game One of a doubleheader Saturday at Loyola Park.

The Hawks also won 2-0 in Game Two behind a combined five-hit shutout from Madeline McCall and Riley Braden.

Rockhurst has now won five in a row, which is its longest winning streak of the season.

Game One: Rockhurst 3, Truman State 2
Rockhurst took a 1-0 lead in the first after Claire Tipton reached first on a fielding error. Truman State took a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth after a two-run triple.

Tipton's RBI double in the sixth tied the game at 2-2 before Berry's walk-off home run an inning later. Eva Fulk went 1-for-2 with two runs scored.

Avery Huffman (3-7) recorded her second win in as many days. She pitched a complete game and struck out seven Bulldogs.

Game Two: Rockhurst 2, Truman State 0
