The Varsity Lady Dux took the field and played hard for seven innings holding the Maroons scoreless in the opening of the double header tonight. They took the victory 4-0 by capitalizing on the opportunities that were presented to them.

Maddie Sliva was efficient on the mound for the shutout. She pitched seven innings allowing only three hits, striking out five and walking one. The Dux had three 1,2,3 innings and she threw 68 total pitches for the win. 

The Dux offense started right way scoring three runs in the first and one in the second to set the final score at 4-0. Lily Brower reached on error and moved to second. Kenzie  Siersma also reached on an error which scored Brower. Sophie Zelenock came up and drove Siersma home with a hard driven single. The Dux loaded the bases with a walk to Morgan Rush, and an infield single by Katie Bruursema. That brought up Brinzie Kalkman, who singled to center field to score Zelenock.

Bottom of the second Sliva got on with a single, but was forced out at second on a fielder's choice nice play by the Maroons as third baseman fielded the hard ground ball from Siersma and threw to second to get Sliva. Sophie Zelenock came to the plate and it a fly ball to right that Holland Christian couldn't field and it scored Siersma from first. Zelenock was seeing the ball well and making good contact all game.

Kalkman led the Dux with two hits on the game. Zelenock, Bruursema, Sliva, and Brower each contributed one.

The Dux defense was solid committing only a single error on the game. They improved to 5-0 in OK Green Conference play.
