Findlay, Ohio- The University of Findlay softball team powered through a pair of high-scoring battles to sweep a doubleheader against Hillsdale College on Monday, April 6.

The teams exchanged runs in the second inning before Findlay added another in the bottom of the third to extend the lead to 6-2 through three innings.

Hillsdale chipped away with two runs in the top of the fourth, but the Oilers exploded offensively in the bottom half, scoring six runs. Sophomore Meghan Heinsman delivered a single up the middle to drive in two, followed by Jones' single bringing home Findlay's ninth run. Poulson singled to plate another run, and a passed ball scored Jones. The inning capped off with a wild pitch, giving Findlay a commanding 12-4 lead.

Hillsdale fought back in the top of the fifth, scoring five runs to cut Findlay's lead to just 12-9. The Oilers answered in the bottom half, adding three runs behind doubles from Frazier and freshman Kaylynn Carter to restore a comfortable 15-9 advantage.

Both teams were held scoreless in the sixth, and Hillsdale managed just one run in the seventh. Findlay held on for a 15-10 victory.

Frazier spearheaded the Orange and Black offense, going 3-for-4 with four RBI, including two doubles and a sacrifice fly. Poulson drove in three runs on a single hit, while Jones and Carter each added extra-base hits and contributed two RBI apiece.
