April 25, 2010.  Durango, CO. - The Fort Lewis College softball team split a wild and windy doubleheader with Adams State on Saturday at Aspen Field on the FLC campus.

The Skyhawks, who lost the opener 5-2, rallied in the second game to win 11-10.

“It was a crazy game," FLC head coach Pam Adams said.

“We kept battling. We made the most of our opportunities in the second game," she said.

The Skyhawks led 4-3 before Adams State took an 8-4 lead.

After cutting the lead to 8-7, the Skyhawks took the lead for good with four runs in the bottom of the fourth. Kayla Bruner and Jordan Willis hit homers for the Skyhawks in the fourth.
