SPRINGFIELD, MO. – The University of Missouri-St. Louis softball team rallied for two wins at Drury on Sunday in the regular season finale to claim a share of the Great Lakes Valley Conference regular season title. The Tritons won the opener 4-3 before gutting out a 5-3 nine-inning win in the nightcap to extend their win streak to 10 games.

The Tritons will be the No. 1 seed in next weekend's GLVC Tournament in East Peoria, Ill., and open play against No. 8 seed Lewis on Thursday at 10 a.m.
 
Records: UMSL (31-17, 20-6 GLVC), Drury (34-21, 12-14 GLVC)
 
Game 1: UMSL 4, Drury 3
A two-out, two-run single from senior Reagan Osborn in the seventh helped the Tritons rally for the win. Freshman Corinne Daley led the frame off with her second single of the game, while fellow freshman Jessica Mrzlak also singled before senior Carly Kingery took a hit-by-pitch to load the bases.
 
Daley was responsible for bringing in UMSL's first two runs, using an RBI single in the first inning and a sac fly in the fourth that gave the Tritons the lead back at 2-1.
 
Drury took a 3-2 lead in the sixth by drawing a pair of bases loaded walks.
 
Junior Andee Tiffee (14-4) struck out 12, while scattering six hits and walking two.
 
UMSL finished with seven hits, including two each from Daley and Tiffee.
 
Game 2: UMSL 5, Drury 3 (9 inn.)
After scoring two runs in the seventh to knot the game at 3-3, the Tritons used two runs in the ninth to record the win.
 
Senior Chelsea Martinez delivered an RBI single that plated freshman Anna VanGundy for the game-winner, while Kingery drew a bases loaded walk to bring in an insurance run.
 
Drury held a 3-0 lead after two innings before UMSL got on the board in the sixth with a Tiffee solo home run. Tiffee then then used an RBI groundout in the seventh to tie the game after an RBI single from redshirt junior Morgan Hill.
 
UMSL out-hit Drury, 11-7, while the two teams combined to leave 20 runners on the bases.
 
Martinez finished with three hits, while Hill tallied two.

Kingery (15-10) struck out nine and overcame a season-high five walks and was aided by some great defense, including a diving catch by sophomore right fielder Carlie Kudary with two outs in the seventh inning with two runners on.
