Lourdes swept both ends of a doubleheader against Rochester (Mich.) by scores of 3-1 and 5-1 on Thursday evening at Pacesetter Park before dropping the final game of the night 7-4 to Indiana Tech in a make-up of Wednesday night's postponement.
 
Against Rochester, the Warriors managed just one hit in each game against Gray Wolf hurlers.
 
Marissa Kostick (Saint Charles, Mich./Saint Charles H.S.) struck out two and did not walk anyone in the opener, allowing just one unearned run in the fourth inning, aided by three Gray Wolf errors.
 
Lourdes scored a pair of unearned runs to take the lead in the second, as Jimi McNew (Monroe, Mich./Monroe H.S.) singled home one and Shylee Schmeltz (Northwood, Ohio/Gibsonburg H.S.) delivered a sacrifice fly for the other.
 
Leading 2-1 in the fifth, Kostick led off with a double and moved to third on Kim Waters' (Belleville, Mich./Lincoln H.S.) single before Lindsay George (Wayne, Ohio/Elmwood H.S.) delivered the sacrifice fly.
 
Waters and McNew each had two hits as Lourdes managed six in the opener against Brooke Snyder, who took the loss despite allowing just one earned run.
 
Brooke Gallaher (Oregon, Ohio/Clay H.S.) spun the one-hitter in game two, a lead-off double in the fourth that eventually scored following a Lourdes error.
 
The Gray Wolves took the lead in the second though as Alyssa Ziegler (Archbold, Ohio/Archbold H.S.) produced a two-run single.
 
After the Warriors got the run back in the fourth, Lourdes added three insurance runs in the fifth.  Megan Motte (New Baltimore, Mich./Anchor Bay H.S.) reached on an error, plating one run and McNew added a two-run single.
 
Ziegler, George, and Taylor Genzman (Saint Clair Shores, Mich./Lakeview H.S.) each had multi-hit efforts for Lourdes in game two as part of a nine-hit attack.
 
Gallaher struck out three and walked five in the win (5-6) while Karlie Kline took the loss (0-1), allowing all five runs in 4.1 innings of work for Rochester (6-25, 0-14 WHAC).
 
In the finale against Indiana Tech (8-26, 6-6), Lourdes scored first on a RBI single by Ziegler in the top of the third.  After the Warriors went in front 2-1 after three, Taylor Tafelski (Perrysburg, Ohio/Perrysburg H.S.) put the Gray Wolves back on two with a two-run double.
 
The Warriors took the lead for good in the bottom of the fourth, scoring three times with two outs to build a 5-3 edge.  Waters plated Lourdes' fourth run in the fifth with a run-scoring hit, but that would be the final run of the game for the Gray Wolves.
 
Indiana Tech tacked on two insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth to secure the win.
 
Waters went 3-for-4 while Genzman had two hits in the finale against Ashley Alvey, who went the distance for the win (1-7).  She did not allow an earned run while striking out seven.
 
Kostick took the loss (6-4), surrendering 11 hits while fanning five.
 
Lourdes (13-13, 5-3) will take to the road on Saturday afternoon, traveling to Ann Arbor, Mich. to battle Concordia (Mich.).  First pitch in game one of the doubleheader is set for 1 p.m. at the CUAA Softball Field.
