The brooms were out as the Cyclones grabbed another sweep, this time over Harper College.
The Cyclones had 20 hits and one 12-run inning that gave them the edge in the 17-5 victory. All but two players earned RBIs, with Emily Madrigal (3-for-5, 2B) earning the most – four – along with her three hits and double. Harper tied the game in the bottom of the third at four before Nicole Wagner (2-for-5, 2 RBIs) drove Arianna Andersen (4-for-4, RBI, 2B) in on a single. The big inning saw singles from Mya Granados (2-for-4), Kaitlyn Dunagan (2-for-4 RBI), Maya Conners (2-for-4, RBI), Alexandria Palumbo (3-for-5, 2 RBIs), Emily Manso (2-for-5, 3 RBIs) and Madrigal, who also had a double that inning.
The second game came a little too close for comfort as the Hawks attempted a comeback; the Cyclones had enough runs to edge them out 8-7. Madrigal (2-for-4) started the scoring in her first at-bat with an RBI double. Palumbo (3-for-4) then drove in a run on a double, and Granados (1-for-3) added one more with a single. They added two more runs in the third inning after Madrigal and Palumbo singled with Madrigal scoring on a fielding error. Granados ground out to second, which scored Palumbo to make it 5-0. Their final runs came in the top of the fifth when Palumbo doubled and scored on a wild pitch. Granados walked and advanced on a single from Riley Evoy (1-for-3). Andersen (1-for-4) scored them both with a massive triple to go up 8-0. The next two innings saw a string of hits from the Hawks to get the Cyclones nervous, but a quick bottom of the seventh sealed the victory.
