Becky Walters (Porterfield, WI) RBI single in the first scored Mel Grego (Houghton, MI) and gave Schmitt all the run support she would need.

Game 2 Box Score

Minnesota-Morris erased an early three-run deficit and held on for a 8-6 win and snap Northland's seven-game winning streak.

The LumberJills (15-12, 7-1 UMAC) got going early as Karen Harnisch (Ashland, WI) singled home Tiffany Datko (Inver Grove Heights, MN) and scored two more on Becky Walters (Porterfield, WI) two-run single.

The Cougars (5-15, 4-3 UMAC), after not scoring in the first, added two runs in the second, four in the third and two more in the fourth off of Natalie Anderson (Appleton, WI).

The Jill's made it interesting in the top of the sixth after Walters hit her fourth homerun of the season, a three-run shot, to get Northland within two.  But, Bobi Jo Wolf popped out to shortstop for the final out of the game.

	Becky Walters 3-4, HR and 5 RBI's	Tiffany Datko 2-3, 2 runs
