JAMESTOWN, ND. (NewsDakota.com) – Jamestown softball won its eighth and ninth games in a row this weekend as the Jimmies toppled Briar Cliff 6-0 and 6-2 on Saturday.

The Jimmies scored two runs in each of the first two innings of game one at Trapper Field and Sydney Prussia tacked on two more runs in the fifth on a home run, her second of the year. Briar Cliff committed four errors in game one against Jamestown.

Game two started with the Chargers out in front 1-0 but that didn’t last long as Jamestown scored its six runs over the span of innings two through four to jump in front for good. Four Jimmies recorded extra-base hits in game two, including Morgan Geiszler who had a triple. Sophomore Katie Merchant went all seven innings on the mound for the Jimmies, improving to 10-3 and striking out five.
