Finally getting a chance to take the field Monday after several rainouts, the Warriors won the first game 11-6 and led 7-2 in the second game until Brookings came back with 5 runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. The game was then called on account of darkness.

Pitcher Chandler Davis went the distance for Del Norte in the first game, striking out nine batters.

On offense, shortstop Keirstyn Anderson hit two doubles, catcher Amber Babbitt contributed a couple of hits and centerfielder Kathryn Gustafson had a 3-run double during a game in which she “smashed the ball,” said coach Tom Moore.

The Warriors’ next game, weather-permitting, will be at home against Illinois Valley on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.
