Jenkins was 4-for-5 with three runs and five RBI in the game. Ashlyn Brooke added a double and run scored, and Autumn Miller pitched NorthWood (2-5, 1-0 NLC) to a win despite allowing 10 hits and eight walks.

A huge seventh inning helped the Norse pull away from Valley in Three Rivers Conference play.

Leading just 9-8 after Valley left the bases loaded in the sixth, the Norse responded with four singles and three walks to produce six runs and get the distance it needed to escape Akron with the win.

Addy Baker was 5-for-5 with a homer, four runs scored and three RBI and Jenna Kram was 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three driven in to lead the Norse.

Corinna Stiles homered and drove in three for the Vikes (6-2, 0-1 TRC) while Abby Bowers, Molly Moriarty and Brittney Benn all had two hits.
