Wright State won both games of a doubleheader against Dayton Monday afternoon at the WSU Softball Field, taking the first game 6-5 before winning the nightcap 5-1.

The Raiders opened the game one scoring with three in the second, with all three coming with two out. Alex Machen singled up the middle to drive in Michelle Baker with the first run and after Reagan Stofcheck dropped a single into right, Angie Clark tripled to the gap in right center to plate both Machen and Stofcheck.

Dayton answered right back in the third on a two-run homer to right off the bat of Natalie Mariano before Wright State went up by three runs again at 5-2 with a pair in the fourth, again coming with two out. A Clark fielder's choice and a Boreing walk set the stage for Chelsea Archer, who doubled to right center to drive in both runners.

The Flyers, though, tied it with three in the top of the fifth and it stayed that way until WSU tallied the game-winner in the bottom of the seventh. Boreing led off with a double to left center and the Raiders loaded the bases on a Kacie Rapshus walk and Baker being hit by a pitch. Colleen Schneider then drew a full-court walk to force in Boreing with the winning run.

Dayton took the early lead in the second game on a Jordan Jennings solo home run to center in the second, but that turned out to be the only run for UD as Chelsea Contant (4-2) picked up her second win of the day by going the first five innings. Krystian DeWitt earned her first save of the year by pitching the final two frames, striking out three in not allowing a hit.

A Kortney Tackett hit knocked in Archer with the tying run in the third and the Raiders went ahead for good in the fourth as Boreing tripled to right with two out, plating Jess Gorman and Baker.

WSU tacked on two more runs in the sixth as Boreing had a sacrifice fly to center and Archer drove in Clark with an infield hit.

Boreing, Archer, Tackett, Baker and Clark each had two hits in the nightcap, with Boreing driving in three.

Wright State (17-20) now hosts Horizon League leader Valparaiso for a three-game midweek series, starting with a doubleheader Wednesday at 4:00.
