Winter Haven, Florida - Concordia Texas earned a 6-4 victory over Wisconsin–River Falls. The Tornados used timely hitting and strong pitching on Sunday afternoon to improve to 14-3 on the season.
Concordia jumped out to an early lead in the first inning when Kylie Kirk doubled to left field to drive in Kylie Denaro. The Tornados added another run in the second as Madison Poe delivered an RBI single to score Christian Everett and make it 2-0.
After a sacrifice bunt by Mayson Post brought home another run in the fourth, Wisconsin–River Falls answered with two runs in the fifth to cut the deficit to 3-2.
The Tornados responded in the bottom of the fifth with three runs to extend their lead to 6-2. Denaro drew an RBI walk before Kirk added a sacrifice fly, and Concordia took advantage of a miscue to plate another run.
