Detroit Mercy managed to keep things tense, with Erin Flynn pitching beautifully. She only allowed the Spartans two runs in six innings, putting forth a commendable effort.

Michigan State took the lead in the bottom of the third inning. The excitement grew when Kaelin Cash hit a double that drove in what would be the winning run. They didn’t stop there; in the fourth inning, Sydney Doloszycki hit a beautiful solo home run, bringing the score to 2-1.

As of now, Detroit Mercy’s season record stands at 5-19, with this doubleheader sweep calling attention to their struggles. Concerns are swirling around the Titans’ ability to maintain offensive consistency, which has been a point of focus for the team. While the first game gave a glimmer of hope, the second game exposed vulnerabilities that will need to be addressed quickly.
The Titans are now preparing to take on Cleveland State, hoping to bounce back and build upon what they’ve learned. As they review this weekend’s games, the players and coaches will need to strategize and adapt if they want to improve their chances for success.
