Lynzi Knudtson 's (Sr, Melrose) sacrifice.
Sara Griesbach 's (So, Stratford) single moved Workman to third and Workman scored when Griesbach got hung up between second and third.
Workman got things started again in the third inning, delivering a two-out single, eventually working her way home on a wild pitch and an infield error. Knudtson scored Stout's final run in the fifth, reaching on a two-out single, then stealing second before taking advantage of St. Olaf (0-2) miscues to get home. The Oles got their only run of the day in the sixth inning.
Ball earned the start and the win in game two, pitching three innings with two strikeouts, one walk and two hits. Ball left with a 7-0 lead and

Taylor Workman 's (Sr, Prior Lake, Minn) home run. Stout loaded the bases and
Tori Workman delivered a three-run double, then came home on a passed ball.
Griesbach led off the fifth with a double and came home on
Taylor Workman's single. Stout used good base running and St. Olaf mistakes to score two more runs in the inning. Wood allowed a lead off single in the bottom of the fifth, then forced three straight groundouts to end the game.
Griesbach finished the second game going 3-for-3 with three doubles and two runs scored.
