[Softball] RedStorm drops Davenport for spot in title game

Rio Grande Sports Information
    GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - In a regular season meeting with Davenport (Mich.) University, the University of Rio Grande saw the Panthers erase a two-run deficit with a sixth inning uprising en route to a come-from-behind win.
    In Tuesday afternoon's post-season rematch between the two nationally-ranked squads, the RedStorm survived a similar scenario to post their most important victory to date in what's already been a record-setting season.
    Head coach Chris Hammond's team built a three-run fourth inning lead and then held on down the stretch for a 3-2 triumph in the winner's backet final of the Grand Rapids Bracket of the NAIA Softball National Tournament Opening Round at the Farmer's Insurance Athletic Complex.
    Rio Grande, ranked No. 17 nationally and the tourney's No. 2 seed, improved to 47-8 with the win and advanced to Wednesday's championship game where they'll face the Panthers again after their win over third-seeded Olivet Nazarene in Tuesday night's loser's bracket final.
    The title game is scheduled for noon, with a second final - if needed - at 3 p.m.
