The 21st-ranked University of Jamestown softball team pushed its record in Tucson, Ariz., to 8-1 on Wednesday.
The Jimmies dropped Marymount California University 6-2 and Dordt College 8-6. Jamestown will wrap up 11 contests at the Tucson Invitational Games today facing College of Saint Mary and Ottawa University (Ari.).
The Jimmies' Kat Miska struck out nine and allowed one earned run in seven innings to earn the win over Marymount California. Miska pushed her record to 4-0, while the Jimmies improved to 19-3 overall with the two victories.
Kassi Ward, Tifani Schorzman and Mikayla Frost posted RBI singles, and a two-run triple by Emma Keller gave the Jimmies some insurance against the Mariners in the seventh.
Schorzman launched a two-run home run in the bottom of the first against Dordt, and a pair of two-run singles by Allie McCain, plus a third from Keller, helped Jamestown sneak past the Defenders.
