The Fort Lewis College softball team hosted the Colorado School of Mines for a four-game series over the weekend. Due to weather constraints in Durango, however, the series was pushed back a day to Sunday and Monday and moved to Bloomfield, New Mexico.

Fort Lewis ended up winning two games and Mines won the other two.

FLC won the first game Sunday on a walk-off grand slam from Kayla Stone, 11-9. Alex Tenorio also lifted a two-run homer for FLC that tied the game 2-2.

Mines won the second game, 8-5, despite Stone’s solo home run and Tenorio going deep twice on solo shots for FLC.

On Monday, both games needed extra innings before they were decided.

In the first game Monday, Alyssa Gutierrez led off the fifth inning with a hustle triple and scored on a ground ball from Sloan Shotton. Tenorio and Rodman then went back-to-back with solo home runs to tie the game at 4-4.

After nine and a half innings of a defensive duel, Cara Daugherty sent a two-out solo home run, the first of her career, to dead center to give FLC another walk-off win, 5-4. Amiee Shanks (4-1) threw all 10 innings for her third complete game of the season and fourth win. Shanks allowed just one of her four runs to go down as earned on nine hits, one walk, and three strikeouts.

The final game of the series was another pitcher’s dual, but Mines prevailed 6-5.

FLC is now 5-10 overall and 3-5 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Mines moved to 7-7, 6-2.

Next, FLC will travel to Chadron, Nebraska, for a four-game series against the Eagles (3-12, 1-7) on Saturday and Sunday.
