Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 JACKSON, Tenn. – Northwest had a four-game winning streak snapped on Monday afternoon in a doubleheader loss to #13 Des Moines Area, falling 4-1 and 3-1 on the campus of Jackson State CC.

Des Moines, a 38-win team a year ago, improved to 7-3 overall while Northwest fell to 14-7. 

Northwest jumped ahead 1-0 in the first inning of Game 1, with Alyssa Dean drawing a leadoff walk, stealing second and then scoring off a wild pitch two batters later. 

DMACC tied it up at 1-1 with a leadoff home run from Riley Fisher in the second and took its first lead in the third on an RBI-single by Hannah Swafford. 

Lydia Dias entered in relief of starter Kiley Dunagan with the bases loaded in the fifth and the Rangers trailing 2-1 and got out of the jam with a strikeout and fly out to preserve the one-run deficit. 

Jessica Bastian and Amanda Widener, however, hit a pair of RBI-triples in the sixth to put the game out of reach for the Bears and give them the Game 1 win by a 4-1 final.

Dunagan (2-3) scattered six hits, six strikeouts and two runs in 4.1 innings of work in a losing effort while Dias tossed the final 1.2 and allowed two runs off three hits while striking out two.

Fisher, who hit the game-tying home run in the second, earned the win to move to 3-2 while Aly Netty earned her first save of the year in throwing four shutout innings to close the game.

Scoreless into the fifth inning of Game 2, April Brown hit a one-out triple, followed by an RBI-double by Lynsie Sievertsen, to put DMACC on the board first. They would plate two more in the frame on a Swafford RBI-triple and Marisa Graslewicz RBI-single to go up 3-0.

After stranding the bases loaded in the fourth, Northwest got a single run back in the sixth off Andi Barrett's bunt single, but stranded runners at second and third on a strikeout and groundout.

Cailey Schlenker moved to 2-0 for DMACC in the 3-1 win while Netty got her second save of the day in tossing the final 1.2 innings and not allowing a hit while striking out three.

Lindsey Shaw (2-1) allowed just one hit through the first four innings and scattered five strikeouts in the loss while Micalah Beall and Roxanna Kimes tossed the final 2.2 to close the game.
