Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 St. Louis - The Maryville softball team won both ends of its doubleheader from Harris-Stowe in vastly different fashion. The Saints had to rally for an 8-7 game one win in nine innings but in the second game dominated in easing to a 10-0 triumph in five frames.
 
The first game went to extra innings and used the international tiebreaker. The Hornets singled in the top of the ninth inning to put runners on the corners. After a stolen base pushed two runners into scoring position, Kati Pearson lifted a sac fly to center to put Harris-Stowe ahead 7-6. In the bottom of the ninth, Heather Wernle was placed on second. Karlie Twisselman doubled to left center to tie the game at 7-all and moved to third on a ground out. Alex Flasch ripped a single between short and third base to bring home Twisselman with the game-winning run.
 
Earlier in the game, the Saints trailed 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth before Casey Ward hit a two-run homer to dead center for a 3-2 Maryville lead. The Saints tacked on two more runs when Twisselman singled as Jennifer Maynez and Meredith Brown dashed home. Harris-Stowe scored four runs in the top of the fifth before the Saints tied the game 6-6 on a Twisselman sac fly in the bottom of the sixth to set up the extra-inning dramatics.
 
In game two, the Saints scored in all four of their at-bats to end the game early via the mercy rule. With runners at the corners, Maryville pulled off a double steal as Shelby Steinkamp swiped home on the back end after Flasch took second on the front side. Ashley Marks singled Flasch in for a 2-0 run. Steinkamp plated Maynez with the third run, and Twisselman's RBI single scored Sarah Goodman to build a 4-0 lead after two innings. Marks doubled to open the third and scored on a Hornets' error. The Saints put the game away in the bottom of the fourth as Nicole Taylor hooked a two-run homer just around the left foul pole to cap the five-run burst. Danielle Williams, who picked up the win in game one, surrendered just two hits to Harris-Stowe (1-31) to notch the win in game two. Marks was 3-for-3 in the game and had, in order, a single, double and triple while driving in two runs and scoring twice.
 
The Saints improve to 14-20 on the season. Maryville returns to Great Lakes Valley Conference action with a doubleheader Friday, April 18, at Southern Indiana.
