Game 1: UMSL 9, Lewis 2
The Tritons pounded out 14 hits, including six for extra base and got three hits each from Osborn and Olson.
 
Senior Jennah Perryman finished with three RBI, delivering a two-run homer in the first inning that gave UMSL a 2-0 lead, and an RBI double in the second that made it 5-0 after freshman Carlie Kudary's two-run double. It was Perryman's third straight game with a home run, and her fourth in the last five contests.
 
Lewis got two runs back in the fourth on a two-run long ball, but junior Carly Kingery helped herself out at the plate in the fifth with an RBI single, while three insurance runs came home in the sixth, including one on Olson's RBI double and two on the two-run home run off the bat of junior Chelsea Martinez.

UMSL jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning on four hits, which included an RBI double from freshman Sapphire Munoz, an RBI groundout from Perryman and an RBI triple from Olson.
 
Three more runs in the sixth gave the Tritons a 7-1 cushion. A one-out, bases loaded RBI single from Osborn, followed by a Flyers error cleared the bases.
 
Both teams recorded 10 hits with UMSL being led by two each from Kingery, Munoz and junior Lizzy Miller.
