CLAREMORE, Okla. – Rogers State softball (46-12) saw another incredible season come to an end as they came up short against Augustana (50-13) in a 6-0 game in the NCAA Division II Central Super Regional final on Wednesday.
 
The Vikings jumped on the board early with a leadoff walk and a sacrifice bunt to move the runner to second. A one out double through the left side of the infield put them up 1-0.
 
Augie added another run in the second to go up 2-0 as a run scored on a throwing error by the third baseman. They continued to add to their lead in the third with a solo home run to left to take a 3-0 lead.
 
The Vikings broke the game open in the fourth as a three-run homer to right center put the game away, 6-0.
 
After Paxton Donaldson led off the game with a single through the left side of the infield, the Hillcats were limited in their scoring opportunities as they went 10 straight plate appearances before their next base runner reached. RSU's best scoring opportunity came in the top of the seventh as Callie Yellin led off the frame with a double to left field. Bobbie Leitha moved her to third with a ground out to pitcher. The Hillcats were unlucky as the next two batters lined out to second and grounded out to second to bring the season to a close.
 
Grace Glanzer (27-3) earned the complete game shutout. Jade Sanders (17-4) took the loss.
