Schreiner falls to 6-17 overall and 2-8 in the ASC West Division with the two losses.

Austin McCormick and Oliver added RBI singles to close out the scoring.
Erica White threw a complete-game, one-hitter to move to 6-3 for the Cru. White struck out nine and did not walk a batter.

Salazar and Oliver had two hits and three RBI apiece and Roman also added three RBI for the Cru.
UMHB bounced back from an early deficit to post an 11-2 win in game two. The Mountaineers scored a pair of runs in the top of the first to take a 2-0 lead. UMHB answered with a five-run second inning.
Courtney Johnston and Greeson had RBI groundouts, Roman added a two-run single and Oliver singled home the final run. The Cru added two more on back-to-back solo home runs from
Megan Bohne and
Brittany Moreno in the bottom of the third to make it 7-2. Salazar blasted a two-run home and Greeson added a two-run double to end the game on the run-rule in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Hannah White tossed a complete-game, six-hitter for UMHB, striking out five and walking just two to raise her record to 2-3 on the year. Bohne was 3-3 for UMHB and Salazar went 2-2 for the Cru.
The Cru will now travel to Alpine for a four-game ASC West Division series at Sul Ross State next week. The two teams will open the series with a 5:00 PM doubleheader next Wednesday before closing out the week with a 2:00 PM doubleheader on Thursday. The series was moved to avoid a conflict with the Easter holiday.
