SEWARD, Neb. — Mackenzi Harrel drove in the game-winning run Wednesday in the seventh inning that helped Morningside defeat Concordia 4-2 during a Great Plains Athletic Conference doubleheader.

With the game tied 2-2, Harrel hit a single that drove in Amber Dougherty that broke the stalemate, then Jalyn Noelle scored on a fielding error to make the lead 4-2.

The other two runs in the win came during the second inning when Lillian Harris had an RBI double, then on a wild pitch in the fourth inning. Jenna Skradski also hit a double in Game 1, while Dougherty and Emma Barwick each stole a base.
