The Anoka-Ramsey Community College Softball team opened MCAC Southern Division play on Tuesday with a sweep over M|State Fergus Falls.
The Golden Rams won the first game 4-2, and took the second game of the doubleheader 11-5.
Coming off a 10-day break in between games, Anoka-Ramsey started off a little sluggish at the plate the first three innings of the first game not collecting any hits or runs.
Then in the 4th inning with a runner on second and two outs, Shannon Olson (SO, Andover) hit a base hit up the middle to score Ashton Prachar (FR, Rush City) to break the 0-0 tie.
Leading 1-0 in the 5th inning with two outs, the bats came alive again with JoJo Liebelt (FR, Columbia Heights) and Bailey Cole (SO, Anoka) getting base hits. Then with runners on 2nd and 3rd, Alexus Martin-Warren (SO, Andover) ripped a two-run single for the 3-0 lead.
The Golden Rams added another two out run in the 6th on a RBI from freshman Karina Pritchard (Richfield) for a 4-0 lead.
The Spartans came back with two unearned runs in the bottom of the 6th and that's how the final score ended.
Sophomore Quincy Gross (Columbia Heights) pitched the complete game notching her 5th win of the season striking out 12 while only surrendering four hits.
