KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City took advantage of seven errors in two games to sweep a Summit League softball doubleheader from North Dakota State on Friday, April 2. The Roos won the first game 6-3 and took the second game 2-1 in eight innings.

Bison left-hander Mac Schulz pitched all six innings in the opener allowing just one earned run on nine hits with no walks and one strikeout. Kansas City (17-11, 2-4 Summit) scored three unearned runs in the sixth after a two-out throwing error scored the eventual winning run.

Sam Koehn singled in two runs to give NDSU a 2-1 lead in the third, and the Bison (7-19, 2-4 Summit) went ahead 3-1 in the fourth when Dez Cardenas scored from second on a throwing error. KC tied the game with single runs in the fourth on a throwing error and the fifth on a dropped pop fly.

Kara O'Byrne tossed all 7 1/3 innings for NDSU in the second game. She retired 10 straight before a solo home run by Kloe Hilbrenner in the fourth and limited KC to just three hits including a single in the fifth and a bunt in the eighth.

The Bison intentionally walked Hilbrenner to load the bases with nobody out in the eighth. O'Byrne got No. 3 hitter Ally Vonfeldt to hit a shallow fly ball for the first out before Lia Lombardini drew a six-pitch walk to force in the winning run.

NDSU's Stephanie Soriano went 2-for-2 and hit a sacrifice fly in the second game that tied it 1-1 in the fifth inning. Soriano also had two hits in the opener and extended her hitting streak to six games and on-base streak to 11 straight games.

North Dakota State and Kansas City are scheduled to close out the four-game series with an 11 a.m. doubleheader on Saturday, April 3.
