Shai Erdrich finished with three hits and McClintock and Alyssa Schumacher each had two as SAU moved to 8-3 on the season following a 4-3 win over Hannibal-LaGrange. It was a sacrifice fly off the bat of Schmitz, her second of the game, that plated Kaitlyn Sandora in the top of the fifth inning that proved to be the difference. St. Ambrose took a quick 2-0 lead in the first on an RBI single from Olivia Wells and the first sac fly from Schmitz. The Trojans battled back to knot the score at 2-2 before Sprout stole home in the fourth inning to put the Bees back in front. After Sandora scored for a 4-2 lead, HLG got one run back in the bottom of the fifth to get within a run.
